 Cute and funny

I liked this one. Unexpectedly, it's quite funny and endearing. I feel like there's still certain cliches(as always), but it's cute. It works. The art's clean cut and nice, and the characters make me laugh. Isezuki-kun is very dramatic and funny. His efforts to get to the girl he likes is very sweet.

But I liked most that the focus of the chapter wasn't on Isezuki's efforts to get the girl; it was more like "friendship" and "reflection on the rhythm of life". That made it seem like the story broke away a bit from the shoujo mold(ie. guy gets girl, etc).

Very nice. I will be looking forward to the next release :3

the feeling of wanting to grow up again. sure, sometimes it seems cheesy, but it's the kind of manga that makes you think, "oh, i wish i'd did this and that. i wish i'd really run after the things that i want."

chapter 2 made me think about the things i've been doing throughout my growing-up years. what parts of them do i regret? what parts of them am i truly happy about? what parts made me feel proud of myself for my decision? what parts made me who i am now?

just like yumemiru said, certain cliches are there (but really, with many things coming out now, it's hard to not have a cliche), but the execution and the focus that this manga has has more of a profound effect on me than akizuki-sensei's other works, like say, akagami no shirayukihime. she did great with that manga for the general cute romance (shirayuki is awesome), but i feel like this manga did have more of an effect on me. i very much recommend reading her other works.

If you're looking for romance, this isn't exactly the best place, BUT read it anyway.

It's a nostalgic-feeling story about a group of friends going through high school. It's pretty much about growing up but enjoying and appreciating youth. Definitely give it a try when you have some time.

It's not plot-driven but focuses on the relationship between friends.

I am reading this at an emotional time of my life where, like the 4 guys, I am about to go to college and am only a couple weeks off from my graduation. I definitely agree with others. It is cute and endearing and highlights different parts of growing up. Agreed, it is cliché but really focussed on the friendships made. Ahhhh, I'm getting really nostalgic about my high school years now!! >.<

 nostalgic slice of life

the nostalgia and slice-of-life levels in this manga are off the charts. it was an adorable, refreshing, simple series about the friendship between 4 high school guys. i disagree that it was "cute guys doing cute things" since there was nothing moe about the guys or their friendship with each other. got very bromantic at the end, but there's a good amount of regular romance for the characters as well.

i adore each of the four characters. i feel like their were built very well but also easily through the audience just seeing them in their everyday lives and interactions with others. especially kurata the cynical tsundere and nogami the smiling enigma. it would be great to see this manga in anime form.

 Mixed feelings

I love bromance and this is the reason I decided to read this manga. Unfortunately, I was rather disappointed.

1. I find this manga boring. I've finished it whole (means it was somewhat enjoyable), but it took me a few days. I wasn't very excited about this one. I'm totally fine with no action, slice of life etc., and I actually expected this manga to be about boys being boys, without much happening, but...

2. I don't know if the author is male or female, but I've a strong impression it's the latter. I don't think the characters acted like real boys, not most of the time. When a manga is about boys being boys, it's usually pretty fun to read, but as long as the charas actaully act like boys *thinks Men's Kou, Kimi to Boku*. I think that many guys in shoujo manga act like the boys from Seishun Kouryakuhon but this is because we usually see them near a female protagonist - when guys are near a girl they like, they often act less dorky, more romanic, more serious. In this manga, it's like the guys are near girls, even when they are not - perheps the readers count as ones and the guys' behavior was supposed to be appealing to us? Dunno, but without romance, action, with little humor, I didn't find this manga very interesting. Yes, it's about male friendship (which I love reading about!), but if the characters don't feel realistic, what's the point? Anyway, I praise the author for trying, touching the subject - would love to see more manga with similiar theme! smile

And there were some fun scenes, scenes that made me smile - just not enough of them

It's theme is basically "cute boys doing cute things". Girls appear for a few pages only. Certainly not something I expected. And I don't like it. Maybe if i was a female... but I'm not.
It does have nice art and easy-goingness. Just not my cup of tea.

the first story is nice, i like it so much.. but chapter 2 is so much different, i feel like reading shounen-ai there.. the relationship between Kuruta and Isezaki is somewhat 'strange'.. or is just my feeling??
