The main theme of the story is a socially-inept guy finding inner strength and, with the help of his online friends, gaining the courage to change himself, overcome his weaknesses, and go after a dream he never thought he'd have a chance of making a reality.

I picked this one up on a whim and really wasn't sure just what to expect, but I wound up getting so totally wrapped up in the story of Train-san and Hermess-san that I ended up reading the whole thing straight through to the end as soon as I unwrapped the books (even though I'd just planned to take a quick look to see how the series started).

For me, it was something of a roller-coaster ride. The story could have worked out either to a good ending or a down-beat ending, and I really couldn't decide which way it was going to go until close to the very end. (I won't say how it ended, but I was satisfied with the way things were resolved.)

Only regret is I wish the story had been a bit longer: three volumes just didn't feel like enough time to spend with the two characters, and I wouldn't have minded if the mangaka had taken a little extra time to develop the characters and their backgrounds a little more thoroughly.
