This is an incredibly strong slice-of-life comedy series with a varied and likable cast of characters. The art is good, it's funny, and personalities are diverse and lifelike. While some readers might be put off by Yamato initially, you can tell as the story goes along that he's really just a good guy, but a weirdo. Much of the cast follows this same formula where they are interesting people with one or two flaws about them. The story ends prematurely at 102 chapters but is a comfortable read that would leave most wanting for more. I've reread the whole thing quite a few times atthis point and still it remains quite enjoyable. Unfortunately, this manga outgrew its initial premise (the siscon Yamato), and that dynamic becomes less interesting as things moved along in the story. This was perhaps why Fukuda-sensei had no choice but to move on from this title.

While unlikely, it would be nice if sensei one day decides to revisit the world of Momoiro Meloik and give us some insight on how the characters are doing, perhaps even from the perspective of one of the other members of the cast.
