Description
Eiko and her best friend Moe couldn't be more different: Eiko is a shy, average-looking girl while Moe is beautiful and envied by everyone at their high school. Though their personalities are total opposites, the bond between them is incredibly strong. Moe might have an endless supply of suitors, but when it comes to actually dating them, she has a condition: her boyfriend must value Eiko more than he does Moe. No one has yet been able to meet her condition—not until a boy named Tsuchida appears, at least. What will Eiko do when her relationship with her best friend begins to change?

I love almost everything in this story. I would have given it a 10 if it wasn't for the extra. It was a fine extra, it just didn't mesh well with the rest.
I was smiling and laughing through out all of it until I reached the extra.
It kept me smiling I would definitely recommend this.

I just wish I could have seen more of Eiko and her boyfriend, and to have seen Moe get either with Eiko's brother or her ex.

how can I find another word rather than BEAUTIFUL?

everything is so simple, realistic yet so beautiful and heart-warming...When I read the first chapter, I called my friend and told her to read it! And what happened? there was no drama, no tragedy but it made us cry... It's a kind of friendship every girl longs for... And speaks of the boys, the boys are also amazing! Tsuchida is just like Eiko, a boy with a big heart. Narugami, he says
god, I have ever found a guy in shoujo who can say those words! He loves her not because she's beautiful in apprearance but in soul!
I need more =(((( (though tbh, this is already enough), I really want to see Tsuchida ends up with Moe and those four can have a double date. ^^
Kazune-sensei, Aiji-sensei, thank you for having made a masterpiece!

Tsuchida shoud have gone with her (Eiko) instead. He's a sucker for a pretty face. I find her more cute than enough though...

Okay... So there friendship can be view as creepy, and it certainly can be, but I like it. BUT if this is real life, Moe is a very manipulated and controlling girl... Don't think too much and just enjoy the story
Way to exaggerated.

For mang about beauty of the true frendship, its surprisingly mean-spirited. Moe is obsessed with Eiko, and Eiko is pushover for Moe. It's not friendship, it unhealthy addiction!
Moe is also cruel. She uses Eiko as the excuse to ditch the boys who like her, treating them like garbage. Insted of, i don't know - telling them she's not interested? For such 'foul-mouthed and rude' girl she's typicall 'i won't tell you what i think!' shoujo stereotype.
Eiko is typicall pushover. She let's her fiend use her and treat her like a convinient exuce to ditch another boy. She's manipulated, really cruelly when we're at it, by Moe: who would not blame themselves after hearing situation from first story?
The way friendhips is shown here it's just unhealthly.
The boys are done better, but not that much. One is pure perfection cut-out from Book of Shojo Stereotypes, and the other is the opposite cut-out. They both act stupid, but at least its nothing too bad, and the latter one even have some believable reasoning in his little grudge against Eiko.
Bonus story is only good thing here, because at least when the character acts stupid/clingly/unhealthy it IS said in the story instead of showing it as normality.
Overall, it's sad that a really nice art is waste don such stupid story. And it's frightening than anyone would think that relationship in this story is anything even remotely close to normal.

was better than the main story. I really liked the extra. It's a cute love story. Of the main story, I liked the second chapter, which was narrated by the black hair guy. I thought the way he had these delusions regarding girls ldue to his sister was pretty entertaining.

Update. Finished it after noticing it in my list. Turns out the extra story had nothing to do with the main story. After re-reading it, I realised I would have liked it to go longer and see the women and the men them develop and have a more normal relationship (with their best friend and the opposite sex).
Not bad but still feels incomplete.

Been over 100 days since the release of chapter 3 and according to etc only the extra story is remaining.
It's lovely story that just ends too suddenly at chapter 3. Eiko is very likable character, the type of girl whom others would dot over. Moe is more of a strange character, but also lovable due to the affection she shows towards Eiko.

Beautiful, delicate water colours, a unique idea, and interesting characterization didn't save this story: it grew progressively duller and ultimately ended with only some--definitely not enough--resolution.

I really don't understand this manga.
I was looking for best friend themes, but this... took it entirely too far. As a girl I'd hate to have a friend who dragged me along on her dates, especially when I was trying to give them room. I also wouldn't want my boyfriend to put my best friend before me. Like , huh? How does that make sense? Sure I would want him to treat her with respect and dignity, and I would want her to like him, but if she was his priority then there is a problem.
But the extra story, I liked the main girl and the guy she meets; however, her friend is, in my view, stupid.
