I just started reading this today. I love the comedy(like the lizard throwing XD) but the main characters look better on the cover pages! in the actual manga his face looks so square to me but i guess i have to get used to it. If your looking for a quick light read this is a good start.
One of the most original stories I've read

I normally don't make comments on anything, let alone something that my group works on, but I totally can't hold my tongue on this one. It was recommended to me by a fan and I'm like 'well, whatever, I'll give it a shot' and I was kind of blah towards it during the entire time that I read through the first three volumes. Not too bad, but I really didn't give it much of a chance. Then one day about 2 months later I was pretty bored with life in general and saw it on the shelf and decided to give it a second read and it blew me away from page 1 onward. I'm not sure exactly what it was about the manga that I missed the first time or if maybe I wasn't even reading it and just skimming the pages, but I was totally stunned and it left a pretty large impression on me.
Anyway, I know it doesn't seem it right now, but the first three volume of Hoshi no Samidare (the official Japanese title IS Hoshi instead of Wakusei, btw, despite the kanji) is actually something of a prologue introducing the characters (and there are lots of them), then starts the adventure. The plot unfolds in a way that leaves just about everything open to further possibilities. Characters can and will die, change sides, love and fight amongst themselves and everything in between and none of it comes off as unnecessary plot device for the sake of plot device storytelling. All in all, it's an incredibly clever comedy with underlying plot points that can and will appeal to pretty much anyone that gives it a chance and I enjoy it more and more every month.
On a side note, this has gotten me into some other Mizukami stories and I've enjoyed all of them... wonderful author for people looking for unique and well-planned stories.

So far the comedy is well planned and executed with precision. The art is very congruent with the general tone of the writing. The characters thus far exhibit originality and fundamental character flaws in which further retrospection can logically occur. Psychological implications of this manga leaves something to be desired, and whether this will be a superficial tap of coming of age angst or a deeper exploration of the post adolescent psyche remains to be seen.
In other words...
It's fantastic so far, give it a shot!

It's a good comedy manga, main character's traits make it original somehow, plus the interaction between them is interesting in a funny way. I would describe it as "wacky characters inserted in your typical protect the world manga". The art is nice, nothing to go "whoa!" about, but it compliments the story nicely.
