the short, this manga is great. from beginning to end its interesting unlike many other manga in the same genre in which my interest wanes as it get further along into it. if you like this style of manga, you can not go wrong with this one. the long, the story peaks around volume 36-37, and it feels like that is the end of the manga right there. but it goes on for a few more volumes and doesnt attempt to try to peak again, which makes many manga have a fail ending. this one, from beginning to end was an interesting manga, it hasthe i powered up parts, but it always feels like the pacing is perfect. the serious moments are there, and the comedic moments are there, and they are balanced just enough that it never falls one way for to long. and this manga has what it probably the perfect ending, at least for this type of manga. the only reason story is lower than a 10 is because of something i just cant quite put my finger on.

the art, i have to say, fits the manga perfectly. there is only a handful of times i thought that the art could have used some improvement and those are few and far between.

characters, its hard to say they are bad, but its impossible to say they are perfect. okinu is the only character who has noticeable character growth, the main male has some too, more noticeable towards the end, but thats it. however main female, besides 2 instances (you will know them when you come to them) shows nothing.

this manga has the feel that i like of not being serious and it also has the serious moments that are a great distraction from the comedy. the way the characters interact and the growth of one. and the over all presentation make this a must read for me, and i recommend that anyone who enjoys this kind of manga to pick it up, and even if you just like it, even if you are wondering would i, pick this up, you could do alot worse.
