I just finished reading the manga last night. It's been around 15 hours since then and I still have this weird feeling of fuzziness about it. I can't exactly pinpoint what it was about the manga that moved me so, the story line was okay and had a few plot holes, the characters were not exactly intense and deep - but I enjoyed the entire series so much that I didn't notice that I'd read 33 chapters when I tapped on my screen to check my progress. That's saying something given that I've been drowning myself in mediocre and sub-par shoujo for a while and have become very sensitive to the flow of time.
Regardless, I do believe that this is one manga that you shouldn't hesitate to read. It's endearing, maybe because of the characters, I'm not sure. I definitely enjoyed the ride!
