Description
From etc:

Eiko is something of a plain Jane and a doormat, while her best friend Moe is a head-turning beauty. Despite their differences, their friendship is as strong as ever.
Guys are always asking Moe out, but her answer is invariably “Only if you promise to put Eiko before me.”

Been over 100 days since the release of chapter 3 and according to etc only the extra story is remaining.

It's lovely story that just ends too suddenly at chapter 3. Eiko is very likable character, the type of girl whom others would dot over. Moe is more of a strange character, but also lovable due to the affection she shows towards Eiko.

Awesome manga. So realistic, deep, fresh, free of cliches. I loved it and couldn't tell what will happen next. Wasn't bored at all. The art is cool too.

I think manga like this can make the reader a better person. It touches some very important subjects. It's great how the POV switches, we get to see how judgemental and wrong people can be in how they read others. All four main characters are good people but some of their traits can make them seem otherwise - for those who don't bother to look deeper. Each of them learns an important lesson, I think. Readers do too (at least I did smile )

this is the sort of shoujo I wish I'd see more often these days... A rare gem. The mangaka does it again (I like her other stuff too but this is still an impressive one). The only thing is I wish it'd have just one more chapter... Moe's story arc doesn't feel complete. That's probably just me though - I like Moe a lot and I wish she could change her mind about guys! Anyway, very cute, and makes me want a best friend smile

i love all the themes this manga deals with, and all with just a simple and sweet story about friendship. all of the characters feel alienated, alone and rejected by their peers for one reason or another, but find solace in one person who accepts them, who happen to be their complete opposite. through this person they learn to accept their own flaws and accept the flaws of others as well. perhaps their one mistake is being too fiercely loyal to their own friends, but even then they also learn that the bond must simply evolve and not be broken.

also the feeling of deep and pure LOVE just permeates throughout the whole story. the characters each love their friends deeply and truly in a way that makes me a bit envious. were it any other story with a different theme i could easily see a GL or BL story develop, but this story is about friendship. really nicely done and kudos to the author. art is really great as well.

I liked the premise from the start. Eiko and Moe are both immensely likeable, as well as the male leads. The art is different from the standard shoujo pictures. The lines are fluid and whimsical, a perfect match with the story. The colour pages are a great bonus. The plot is simple, short and sweet. It never delves into needless cliches and it always stays true to its main point.

It's like ice cream, and baby elephants.

This is amazingly executed, unique, and incredibly cute! The drawing style is reminiscent of Sahara Mizu with clean lines and flowing movements, and the plot is great with one pair's relationship tying into another's. Kudos to etc as well for doing such a great job (especially on translations!) biggrin Everything is amazing smile

Just two chapters but this one is amazing. I hesitated at first but then decided to give it a try. I couldn't have been more right in my life. Because of the phrase "Only if you promise to put Eiko before me", I thought this would be a weird manga, I can't believe the author solves it too well. It's amazing. You should read it, you won't be disappointed. Trust me <3 <3

Love this series! It may only be 2 chapters, but it is seriously adorable. What really shines are the relationships - the first chapter focuses on the two main girls, Eiko and Moe, and the second chapter is voiced by Tsuchida's (the guy who dates Moe in the first chapter) best friend. Him and Tsuchida also have a really good friendship. Both of the friendships are based off the opposites-attract idea, where each admires the other and so get along really well.

While nothing is very complicated or angsty in this manga, that's what makes it so great. It's short and to the point. But what I like best is how pure it is. The relationships are real and there's thankfully no backstabbing involved. The characters are fun and distinct, despite the manga's shortness. And the art is also really nice; it's distinctive and characters actually have different facial features, instead of the same cute face, big eyes, with only different hair styles to tell them apart.

Definitely worth a read. It won't take long anyway.

When i read the synopsis i thought it'd be your run of the mill kind of shoujo, but then i noticed it was written by Kawahara-sensei so i gave it a shot. I'm so glad i did!!
Kawahara-sensei really never fails to disappoint! Their stories were simple yet so sincere and Yamakawa-sensei's art really helped bring across the feelings, the emotions were all deeply felt <3
