When I decided to read that manga I never expected something like this, I come to this series while searching for an Adult series and it's stand out as one of the highest rated manga. But I dropped after reading its description, I thought What the hell I will read a manga about a boy masturbate. I picked it up again after my friend strongly recommended it to me and well, it's really really a good read. Even though I must say that those first couples chapters is really dull, protagonist had kinda dirty obsession but I don't think it's so unrealistic, I make sense in the end of the story: "All middle school students are children." yeah the author overdid it a bit but it was solved well.
Although calling it as a masterpiece maybe overate it a bit but the last part of the manga is awesome. Both the ending in chapter 30 and extra chapter 31 is outstanding, I have read 100+ series but they are one of the best chapter I have ever read. The fact make it great not only because of the character development, the plot, stunning moment, suitable art, interesting romance but also the way the author created the story line, switch the time line a bit and the way he express Kurosawa thought, it makes the story dense and toughing, I was totally hooked by it.
I hate that the mangaka nowadays try to lengthen the story to 100+ chapter after it earn reputation but most part is not make sense at all, maybe because the author is Doujin so he is not affected by this fact. I'm looking forward for his other work in the future.
The only thing I dislike of this manga come from the point that I dont like light novel (its unnecessary 18+ , the way it introduces those girl... then the protagonist choose them...blah...blah) , and this story was made as one of them. Anyway, it's not bad at all.
Believe me, try to sit after the first half of the story, the second half will be of the best u have read.
