Maybe it's just me, but as much as all three stories were predictable, I still loved them all. I myself am really picky when it comes to shoujo mangas, especially if they're one-shots. The plot concepts themselves are not original, but execution and the author's own added "twists" for lack of a better word were splendid. Since each chapter is pretty long for one-shot standards (80+, 60+, and 40+ pages respectively for each chapter), there is no obvious rush (which is a must for oblivious tomboy-type characters). It's great how there's an actual story instead of the usual fast-paced romance. As for the art, it rarely gets weirdly unproportionate, but everything else is so stylish and pretty it's barely noticeable. All in all this is really one-of-a-kind for me, beecause I don't think I've read anything so... perfectly cliché. In a good sense.

The third chapter is definitely the best. A moral was told through the romance of two people which made their relationship seem genuine. Thats about it cause it was like 30 pages... i think... i cant remember.

Best anthology of one shots I've seen in a while! Most of the leads are pretty good (although some of them do look identical...). I applaud the author's handling of the male leads' characters especially; they were all fairly kind. No bad boys to be seen here. The 2nd and 3rd stories were the best, imo. The 1st story is just too sudden and ooc for the female lead.

...is exactly the word for it. No more no less. The heroines were all pretty decent; for sure, you won't suffer from moronic, and clingy heroines in this manga. The stories were nice, not cliche much, but nothing that'll make you admire the story in tears. Even the student-teacher romance was pretty realistic and cute. In all, this was a good read. A nice cure for boredom.

So the first and third stories were sort of above average (mostly for the art), but the second story was one of the cutest, non-creepy takes on a teacher-student relationship I've ever seen! Kyaaah <3333 I'm overcome with squee.

Really love the way Noriko draws the guys. So hot!!
Story itself isn't great but not bad. Like her version of the teacher-student relationship in Story 2--doesn't feel so cliche. It was almost sweet.
Actually, pretty much ALL the stories in this book have been done before, but it's nice to read anyway. I like Story 1 but wish the girl didn't look so much like a guy. If she looks like a dude, might as well be a dude. That's my only complaint.

Overall..

Art 10/10
Story 7/10
Originality 1/10
