The story follows the high school life of transfer student Chihiro and her one-track mind seat mate, Yugami. It's a slice of life and coming of age type of manga, so it might be a slow read to some, but it's also a relaxing story if you just want something simple and inspirational. 

The art is simple and easy to the eyes. The baseball scenes were also pretty cool. I love the expressions of the characters.

The best part of the manga however, are the characters themselves. Each one has a distinct personality and the character development is amazing. Yugami is unapologetically himself and never forcing himself to fit in, even if he is ostracized by his class. Chihiro is also unapologetically herself in being kind and understanding, despite being taken advantage of. And with that, comes a whole wonderful dynamic between these two distinct teens. It's a clownfish/anemone relationship in a way (you'll understand once you read it)

Overall, it's a good read and really refreshing.
