To ease his troubled state, Mugi takes a summer job at his friend Kazuki’s beachside snack bar/hotel on a tropical island. It seems like the perfect plan–until Kazuki sets Mugi up on a date with Yuu, who’s supposed to be, well, a little less than perfect. When Yuu arrives, however, she’s not the monster that either of the boys had imagined. In fact, Yuu is about the cutest person that Mugi has ever seen. But after Mugi accidentally walks in on Yuu in the bath, the girl is steamed. W... More...

seriously, this series is just dragging along. I remember when it was good, but now, dealing with these slow releases and lack of any action in the chapters, i'm starting to get bored. but i can't just drop a series, unless it really pisses me off.

This is a great manga but it was dragged on a bit before something happened between them, I did really like what the "ending" of what I've seen (vol 14 ch 80) It really made up for it. I almost got angry at him for the rest of it after 2nd chance and those times it came up to them being in those types of situations. xD I'm lucky I found it just now instead of at the start of it, I would have been so pissed.

This isn't a bad manga, but it's not particularly outstanding, either. It's a decent read if you're procrastinating about schoolwork or chores or if you need something for a long trip, I guess. It could be better, since it's chock full of clichés, like every other shounen romance I've ever seen, but again, it's not bad or anything. Just very average.
I wouldn't even bother to leave a comment,except that I can't get over the quality of the art. The backgrounds are amazing - they look absolutely wonderful. But the people! Everyone has the same face or hairstyle, with only very minor variations (maybe two extra locks of hair drawn in on one side, or the shading is different, or the face is slightly longer than wider), so it's difficult to tell the characters apart in many cases. For example, Yuu's sister Tsukasa, Mugi's childhood friend Manami, and his other childhood friend Sayuri all look pretty much identical at first. Mugi's exgirlfriend also has the same look. Sayuri is the most unique of the quartet for having visibly shorter hair, but the difference is really only noticeable if you're paying close attention or if she's in a panel with one of the others.
Also, for all the drawings of boobs and panties and so on, they're very poorly done. The anatomy is passingly good compared to some manga, but not if you consider how much time and attention these fanservice images receive. Boobs look like they're melting or are positioned poorly, legs don't line up with the hips properly, arms are disproportionate, and so on. It really bugs me when the camera angle is looking down a girl's shirt and the cleavage is completely unrealistic for the way the boobs are drawn, and this is almost every single time. The effect is pretty much that the artist hasn't studied anatomy drawing, and has instead just copied other drawings, or else isn't taking any care at all with it.
Also, this is a stylistic thing, but the way closed mouths are drawn is a bit uncanny valley. The lips are just plain weird, but I usually like the way artists with this kind of style do faces (particularly the eyes, though again, there's very very little variation except when variations are exaggerated to emphasize a particularly character type).
It's fairly easy to look past the wonky art to the story (though it still irritates me), but with the decidedly mediocre plot and the bad anatomy equal a less-than-great, if still readable, manga.

It felt that the manga was pretty much over already at chapter 17ish and that it could have had a really nice ending there, even though it would have been a bit short. It wasn't quite the story I first imagined, I thought he'd travel the world or something in search for her but it was probably better the way it was. Felt a bit slow and dragged out, and quite a few frustrated feelings over the main char. But now at chapter 82 It's getting quite interesting again. Nice artwork and characters. The conversations and story are flowing quite natural as well (Considering the main chars personality).
A decent shounen romance, but where's the developments? ^_^

Story/Plot:-
The story starts of as a typical boy meets girl and then they somehow end up living together but after the first couple initial volumes it just drags on with random stuff for 10 volumes.
Artwork:-
The artwork is good enough for a rom/com with superb details on the environments however the character design are plain especially the male protagonist and the girls are sometimes hard to tell apart.
Final Thoughts:-
I thought this romantic comedy had some potential of being one of my faves, but that was ruined once the mangaka decided to drag on the story for ages. Not only is the story dragged on but it's full of every single type of cliche but at least it had plenty of jokes and the story is finally starting to get back on track. ^_^
