The story seemed interesting, and it had potential to be good and while it didn’t fall flat and wasn’t a terrible story neither was it an exceptionally good one. It was just there, a mediocre manga that depending on your taste in manga you will either like or dislike. I myself enjoyed the manga even though I disliked some parts of it.
Plot- Not exceptionally unique, a girl trying to find the place where she belongs isn’t all that out of the ordinary in shoujo manga. The uniqueness of the plot was helped along with the addition of Hikage’s blog and the few twists that came from that.
The One Shot at the end was separate from the main plot but had to do with the characters, and I must say it was quite cute and I enjoyed reading it.
Characters- I liked and disliked the characters at the same time. Hikage is shy and secluded but she does want to change and she is determined to change and become a brighter person. Her determination is admirable but sometimes she felt a bit to… mopey and with low self esteem and a bit boring for the main character of the manga. As for the two main guy’s, Hinata and Teru, they both were kind and helpful to Hikage and seemed like nice people but sometimes they were to self centered and shallow. So at times I enjoyed the characters and at other times I didn’t like them all that much.
Art- It was very nice artwork, nothing lacking here.
Other- At times I got a bit bored with the manga, it seemed to take a bit longer than needed and dragged on a few times. Also nearer to the end a few events were a bit… unrealistic, and while that’s to be expected in manga for this manga it was a bit strange since everything else was so very realistic and then at the end there were a few excessive decisions and actions that threw everything off balance. So while I enjoyed the story I also felt it was just… there and it didn’t stand out to me compared to other manga. I wouldn’t go out of my way to recommend this but if you are interested and have time to read the story I would recommend you read it.
