Albeit being kinda short, it is really a very well told heartwarming story. Mao not only is a charming character, but also one you end up being fond of. During the 35 chapters of this sweet story ( pun intended, you will know why if you read this manga ) we are lead through the whole range of emotions Mao can express and deliver in her quest to find herself and accomplish her dreams. The art is not particularly top notch but gets the job done. The best aspect of this manga is probably the character development, particularly, the main three characters finding themselves after Mao's gender bendand dealing with the new situation. Even though Mao's character development are less noticeable, there is a deep change of heart in her that leads all the way up to the manga's conclusion. The most interesting character development is Jiu though.

Totally recommended manga.
