This was her try at a coming-of-age story, I guess? It started out good the first volume, but it felt like the resolve just vanished after that. The conclusion was unsatisfying and problems that were portrayed first, dissolved too easily. Also don't expect any romance, I can't really say this a story about friendship either, LMAO.
I was looking for a short romance and the description sounded good. I get tired of all these mangas that are listed as romance but they end up with no romance at all. This is about a popular girl who starts playing pool with an anti social male and they become best friends. Thats about all there is too it. I thought it would lead to romance, but it's about friends ship and playing pool. It's wasn't very interesting at all.
i agree there was nothing to call and ending to it story started out grate and was up to like 1 volume, the rest turned out to be only sides stories in volume 2!
and here i thought it was going to be something good.

It's a quick and short read that would be recommended to those who have time to kill.
The plot seemed rather... incomplete. There wasn't much of a complication nor a resolution, and that was the downfall of the manga.
A cute and fluffy read - best for shoujo lovers or those generally a fan of Sakai Mayu's works.
The art is quite good, although not developed as her later works.

It was good, but the ending was disappointing. You can't even really call that a final chapter - it didn't have an 'ending' feel to it at all. I felt like the mangaka just got bored and decided, "Hey, you know what? I don't feel like making another chapter. I know! I'll just do a bunch of side-stories instead!
When almost half of the manga is side-stories and oneshots, you know it can't be very good.

I won't go and say that it's a waste of time... but it wasn't great at all. The artwork was cute, and so were the characters, but there was no plot. I found no point to the story, and no romance to back up the plotless-ness.
It's cute, though in a pathetic way. Not really a manga worth going crazy over. I'm giving it a two for the artwork alone.

The art's cute. It shows billards. Those are probably the only redeeming qualities of the manga. Sure some nice shoujo fluff. But it's nothing new. It'll just end up in a pile of all the finished typical shoujo manga on my complete list... Just skip it. It's not worth your time..
waaaaaah
i love the story and the characters..
BUT it the ending is.. urg!
i love to see the romance part!!!!!!!! NOOOO!!!!!!!!
huhu

Hmmm... yet another story that deserves a review. There is so little romance in this title, makes one wonder, "Is this really a shoujo?!" This is my first try on Sakai-sensei's work and... I am not planning on reading more of that at the moment. felt... a hunger for romance. This is the first time among the shoujo mangas I've read though.... Ah~ I hope she try her best!
its not a manga that you would get interested in but the art is really great. its not a fast paced plot and there's no antagonist. its basically one of those happy-go-lucky mangas. again the art is great <---deserves 5/6 of my rating
