This is a manga about lap pillows. The boy sees the lap pillow as a sleeping aid and the girl sees it as a seduction method. I don't care for this sort of cliched coquettish behavior, where Kotori constantly comments on feir own cuteness and makes a pouty face when feir advances don't produce the desired results. Fe's teasing, but in a way that feels like fe's also fishing for compliments. Fe just comes across as desperately throwing femself at this completely disinterested guy. The guy's one-dimensional drive for zzz's doesn't create for an interesting character either. At best, these characters and their dynamics might've worked as a subplot in one of those ensemble manga made up of the antics of like a dozen oddball characters. But it doesn't work when it's the only storyline. [Reviewed at chapter 10]
