I really liked the anime, and I really wanted to like this manga adaptation. However, there's just something that makes me... not. There's something in the art, while still lovely, that's just not quite right. There's something in the story, while familiar and one I do like, that's just falling flat.

I marked with book as both read and dnf because I mostly skimmed it toward the end.

This manga has a very lovely art style, it's incredibly pretty. Somehow it reminds me of the korean comics I read when I was a teenager, even though it looks nothing alike. It's that it's long and slender, both in MAB, and in those korean comics. However, it feels like it really lacks in substance. There's not really a plot, at least in volume one, and the word "cute" feels incredibly over-used. Still, I do like the boyfriend's friend with face blindness. He feels a bit relatable to me, though I'm only semi-face blind.

Conclusion:
I won't be reading the rest of the manga, but I might flip through to find scenes with that friend at some point. I'm glad I read it by borrowing my sister's copy of the book.
