Pretty Real

This one is a simple-style manga telling a story about a quiet girl from her cram school time until college. There's no exaggeration when it comes to its art and story. The line art is really simple, the background is just no detail, and the drama and romance feel real. No forced drama or stupid misunderstanding that's so obvious fabricated by the author. It's one of those rare manga that are really a slice of life manga. But it doesn't make this manga plain boring. It's still an interesting journey of a girl who never experienced love before.

But for me personally, I prefer if it had some kind of supernatural thingy or something unique about it, like Nostradamus Love by the same author (maybe by making the "Mustard" and "Chocolate" play more a significant role).

Heartwarming series

I read this in one sitting. It's veeery good. Nice take on friendship, first love and coming of age. I also liked the overall concept dealing with the struggles of high school students entering college (especially Tsugumi, the main character), and as someone who went through the same trying to get into an art school, I thought the author did a great job of portraying it as realistic as possible and it was refreshing. Tsugumi also happens to be a relatable character, despite her personality at first, I gradually found myself enjoying all her scenes. Not to mention, the romance is cute and not too dramatic or forced or anything.
The art suits the story and mood as well, even if it looks rather simple for some. Definitely a must-read.
