 great laid-back ecchi rom-com   
Rating: 9.5 / 10.0

a very nice ecchi/comedy/romance in slice-of-life fashion. one of few mangas that gives a very 'homely' feeling, while having both ecchi/romance, which just add to the goodness. the main character is not the typical retard of these kinds of mangas, and the girls are also pretty good. the art style is different, but is well suited to this kind of story. pace is a bit slow, with the 1 a month releases, but that just enhances the laid-back feeling, though faster releases would have been nicer. overall, a great, and my favourite, slice-of-life ecchi rom-com.

Its like chapter after chapter of the same thing. Nothing surprising happens in it at all. I read it for like 4 volumes then I just started skimming through because it was like reading the same ole thing over and over. It to freakin predictable whats going to happen as well. If you seen any anime or read any manga where "totally wimpy dude gets like girl, totally wimpy dude has misunderstanding with girl, girl and dude make up then repeat with no getting to the point in site" then you have read this manga. Its pretty much that over and over and over and over and over and over. Though judging by all of the 10 ratings I see, there are people that like that type of plot.

To put it bluntly, if your looking for something original and/or creative, fast or even moderately paced, unpredictable, "ANYTHING" packed (well I guess you could say this is packed with mushiness but that's about it", aww inspiring, or even just creative then you should just look somewhere else..

 Romance with a touch of ecchi

a nice manga that would complement any bookcase full of manga.
the art work is the moste endering factor the girls are very cutely done and the guys have the odd air of wierdness about them. the story is very nice although it is indeed much slower then many other manga's
With that said i would highly recommend this to anyone who likes this genre but would be hesitant about people who dont enjoy it as much.
Still its a good read for all.!

pastel seems to be widly similar to parallel, which of course was the same mangaka.. pastel seems to be the longer version of parallel or it could be the parallel is the short version of pastel.. but all in all pastel is a great series i like this, althou if you hate harems, this isnt one to read

For me, it is perfect in all aspect (story, comedy, art (cute!), speed (I'm a mole with a slow brain, so I like slow pace). This one is better than Parallel, Orange road.. I enjoy reading this story repeatedly smile Before this one, I was readying something like Berserk,..Maji,..Azumi,.. and last, beside this one, I'm following Open sesame, as good as this one.

 Lame pacing

It's good at the beginning, i enjoyed it. But the pacing is so damn slow. You can only try and milk so much out of this series. Adding new girls gave me an extra headache.
The pacing is too f'ing slow, it's do unreleastic too. The main character pisses me off beyond belief.
