I actually felt like I got to know the characters a little bit, which I guess is appropriate since the plot basically involved two people who played ice-breaker type games while trying to get to know each other. They each have a hidden insecurity, which feed into their decision-making. The plot's pretty structured too, as you can probably guess from the synopsis. Each day they intentionally progress a little bit closer--from Monday til Friday--and then the manga's over.  I found the art to be very beautiful. I was okay with the story and characters, but I didn't find them to be outstanding. I did appreciate the inclusion of periods into the story--not a topic I've seen in manga before (though maybe I'm just not reading enough shoujo manga).

For a one shot it is pretty cute. It has the usual ending for one with a plot like this but, it is executed properly. It will seem a bit fast paced if you are not familiar with one shots but, it is a normal paced romance for them.  Good if your just looking for a quick read and cute little one shot. Nothing sexual or over the top an innocent read.
