It's a pretty cutesy kind of manga, something I generally don't like reading, but I'd thought I'd give it a shot. While the dynamics between the four boys was entertaining to perceive, some of the other characters were a little bit jarring to perceive, specifically the man hating one. It kind of threw me out of it a few times. The story combined with the dynamics between the four boys makes up for it, though. It's a good concept that is executed pretty well. It's a pretty decent high school slice-of-life romance story that kept me entertained enough to read.

I wouldn't mind picking up the rest of the series. However, it's not a high priority like some of the other manga/book series on my wishlist and TBR. This volume was originally pretty low on my wishlist, but I saw it as a BOGO 50% at the bookstore so I got it with one of the other BOGO 50% books I was eyeing there and decided to just give it a read. It's pretty decent, but the rest of the series will continue to be on the "Back-burner Wishlist" for a little while longer.
