As Jeshia said its only one chapter and it really does look promising.

I like female lead,she seems strong and happy outside but seems there is more to her than just that. Guys around her seem very different and interesting.Have a feeling this will be really long but enjoyable manga...well im hoping it will be smile
Also i like the art,it has that clear feeling to it and the frames are not confusing like in some manga.

Hope to see more of it soon smile

Well, there's only one chapter scanlated, and I've been looking for raws for a full year and haven't found any. Therefore, I will base this comment/review based on the first chapter.

For one, this manga looks promising. I thought at first that the female lead was not my type (too chirpy), but she has far more depth than she lets on, even in the first chapter. Her "mask," I assume it's not a spoiler considering the tag, is not ridiculously dramatic, but breathtakingly simple. It is not Switch Girl comedy, it is a calming slice-of-life about a girl that manages to lie to others to comfort them, and presumably deceive herself.

There is a love polygon that is introduced as well. (Yes, I know, in chapter one already). What I like about it is that it's unclear who she'll end up with, though you can probably make an educated guess. What I dislike about it, is that it is the crossroads of many shoujo manga that go on to become longer series.

From here, it can get surprisingly better, or disgustingly worse. I have read hundreds upon hundreds of shoujo manga, so I find myself confident in saying that the introduction of the love polygon is a point of no-return. The author can take it, run with it, and make it work in the slice-of-life, not so dramatic context, or she can completely ruin a story with much potential.

Personally, I would love for the author to use the love polygon to further the lead's development, but judging based off her plots for her other stories, I'm not expecting anything.

I do admit that the female lead is likable though. Though at first she exudes too much energy, she eventually (in the first chapter too) slows down to match the pace of the novel, even stopping at the revealing of the "false personality." The male leads have absolutely no focus shed on them in the first chapter. They're introduced and that's about it. They also have potential in their uniqueness, which may or may not be destroyed with the addition of the love polygon.
