Synopsis

Kousuke has a boring high-school life, but he sits next to his crush—the really popular, cute Tsukahara Meguru, who has a cool, stoic personality. One day, his parents announce that they're moving, but that he'll still be able to attend the same school. The new apartment building has a lovely river and friendly neighbors... and it is next door to where Tsukahara lives! Outside of school, she seems to have a completely different personality, friendly and a little quirky. She makes him promise not to tell the others at school how she acts at home, but why does she put on such an act for her classmates?

This manga is a ridiculously standard romcom. Every single event that happens is pretty by the book and something that if you have any familiarity with the genre you’ve probably already seen quite a few times. Now that’s not necessarily a bad thing, but another issue is that while it has its moment, for the most part the implementation is only average. The general path the story takes is pretty decent, as are the general concepts behind each of the characters. However, the way the story is paced feels like it has random pacing and is quite haphazard, with things happening pretty randomly without there ...

Mixed Feelings

[A Quirky Love Story]

If you are looking for a complicated story, or something with depth, then this story is not for you. For, this story is so simple, so quirky, and so predictable, that everyone who reads the first chapter will know how it ends. However, it’s how it executes and leads to its conclusion is what makes it an interesting story.

STORY:

Our story begins with Kousuke El, who has a rather boring school life, except for the fact that he’s sitting next to his crush, Tsukahara Meguru — a popular, cute, stoic girl. A couple days later, Kousuke’s parents decide to move, ... while still attending the same school. And, his neighbor (well everyone knows) is Tsukahara Meguru, who somewhat has a different personality. Why does Tsukahara Meguru have a different personality outside school? Well, that’s the question. And the main driving force of this manga.

Honestly, though, this story is really simple and quite predictable. It’s short with no filler chapters. There are barely any twist, and if there are, the reader already knows what the possibilities are. And, while, the story is predictable, it manages to avoid the common pitfalls of typical ecchi stories, such as the sick visit, shower scenes, changing clothe scenes, and pool scenes. In fact, it’s avoids them to give the story a more realistic feel, and the readers will acknowledge it immediately. While, it manages to avoids most cliches, the story, in the middle and end arc, are somewhat lacking and tries to create ‘drama’ and other wild ideas to spice up the story, but it comes off as weak and not very entertaining, and somewhat annoys the readers. Overall, though, the story is okay.

CHARACTERS:

This is where this manga shines. Its characters are really interesting and quirky, especially the female characters like Tsukahara Meguru, Kururi, Tsubasa, and even the granny. They all have very distinct personalities, and are unique and funny in their own strange ways. The only character that is somewhat lacking was the main character, himself. He comes off as bland, nice, and caring like most other ecchi manga characters.

Note: the best character is the cat, for a very particular reason.

ART:

There isn’t much to say about the art, it isn’t the most detailed, nor lacking, but rather there with enough details to know what the characters look like and where they are. The art for its background scenery are very detailed, give a broad sense for the open countryside. Its unique facial expressions are amusing and are generally funny. The overall character design, especially for the girls, are cute, and charming. But, not too cute, so that they give off a moe appearance, but rather a somewhat realistically drawn human like-appearance. Overall, its art is fine, but its key details are the background scenery and its unique facial expressions.

ENJOYMENT:

If you want a simple, straight love story, then this story is for you. You will definitely enjoy the distinct personalities of each female character. Overall, if you focus on the character interactions, their facial expressions, and funny dialogue, then you will be fine.

Cliche and predictable from the very first chapter... I honestly felt like things were being rushed too quickly throughout the manga and it was honestly kind of sadden to build up to that confession just to have it go so quickly. I mean honestly.. The cat picks up a piece of paper and jumps over towards here and she reads it.. what kind of scene is that. The art isn't at all that bad and it was decent to look at. For a 26 chapter manga I expected it to have a little something which would make my heart raise and think at the end ...
