I'm not one for drama, so I didn't like this one too much. The plot dragged on a little too much in the first story. Although, there were some cute moments that made me smile. I thought there could have been a bit more character development, or rather development of the relationships between characters. It was like "Oh I used to like him, but now I like you" all of a sudden. All in all, didn't hate, but didn't love.
I didn't think this was so bad. The stories are sweet. This book is rated for all ages so they're not very deep and are a little predictable but it is a cute collection...well...the first story was cute. The second story got a little tedious and the third story was, woefully, too short...I was happy to see the end of the last story...
All things considered, I think you get pretty much what you would expect.
I can tell that this is not a bad story...unfortunately I am not at all interested in this lackadaisical childish treatise on ambiguity. Or rather the fantastical, I do believe I am correct in saying that younger audiences would find this more interesting than our particular age group. Mayhap someone will appreciate this story, since it is not badly written. It all depends on personal taste after all, and the mangaka artists do address serious themes in a more infantile format to get their point across.
