Like other mangas from this author, you get an "Awwww" when reading it, but it ends to early to become a truly great manga. A good read, but you'll forget it in a few days.

Like Conquestor said, you read it and go "Aww" but it doesn't really make a huge impression. It was an interesting and rather original idea, though—which for me is more satisfying than a story that makes sense but is completely expected and unoriginal. The ending is not really logical but it's cute. Gave me a smile

As expected from Tsukuba Sakura; beautiful art and a good story that leaves you satisfied and going, "Awww."

Since this is a oneshot, there isn't much room to expand it into something greater, but the story was very interesting and the concept is a rather unique twist on the "ugly duckling" idea. The message behind it is really touching, as well, and I was totally left with warm fuzzies after I saw how the conflict was resolved for the main character. I'd have to disagree with spiel and Conquestor; Shiro no Keiyaku was handled very well considering the space Tsukuba was given (a oneshot). Shiro's character not only came to terms with his own problems, but learnt about what really matters to be a human. Very sweet.

The idea itself it's brilliant, that's why I gave it a 8, but what seemed a great idea was rushed into a mere oneshot. I'm really disappointed by the development of the story, since it had a great potential as a comedy and romance.
