Well, I'd like to start off with how CUTE this manga was!

I melted; THAT's how adorable it was!  The artwork was fantastic...sometimes hinata resembled one of my favorite korean actors and it scared the shit outta me because it was awesome.

Moving on...

Although the artwork and the cute factor were all fabulous and stuff, the story was just too predictable for me.  Honestly, there was no unique qualities to this manga and it seemed too much like Kimi ni Todoke for my tastes.  Yeah, most of us have already seen the shy, passive main character who magically has two gorgeous guys fawning over her and a notorious mean girl showing up at the most predictable of times to ruin everything.  Plus, it was kinda obvious that either black rabbit or megapig was gonna be someone Hikage was close to in real life WAYYYY before it was intended to be obvious.

And perhaps I would have given it an extra 0.5 in the story score if Hikage chose Teru in the end.  im so evil xD.

But as a side note I'd like to say that Hikage reminded me of myself a bit.  She finds it easier to express herself on the internet because people aren't face to face with you and you don't feel intimidated.  I'm awfully awkward in the world beyond the computer, and instead of sitting here typing and anime review, I should be outside and making friends.  However, people there can ignore you and you'd feel unsure of what to do, but here, people choose who to talk to and you can choose to reply, and no one would feel hurt about it.  Let's all waste away here and let our social skills shrivel up and die!

JK!

And I'm also pissed because I was GOING to write a story based on the concept of people meeting over the internet, and it actually turns out they know each other in real life, but DAMMIT I WAS TOO LATE >XO.

Anyways, those are all my thoughts on this manga.  Overall, I rather liked it, and recommend it to anyone who needs a hug (of sorts).

This manga is  about conflicts about love and friendships. It's not much of a romance but there is. The main story I think is being noticed. Heee---the end is so funny and sweet.Megapig got in love(he is a boy) asked for advice from Teru and Hinata and Megapig 's crush cried because she thought he liked another girl. But in the end Megapig didn't need any of their advice and he said It was a waste of time to them lol Teru. And Hiaata said "Damn that pig!"

I think this is the first story I've given all 10 points to. 

The overall story is really cute and easy to relate to in todays terms. Personally I got out of it, that regardless of what happens you can always find a way to to be happy and that relying on someone isn't really a bad thing and they might just want to be there to help you ^^. Having experienced this [not to this extent] but I found the manga really relate-able and a nice read.

The art was really cute and fitting. The characters had a bit of unique but typical shojo feel to them which I actually like. The characters also had depth to them though it was only a 5 volume series and I was quite impressed by the characterization. 

Overall I would highly reccomend this manga to someone who likes the shojo/romance/shy girl-popular guys scene. :3
