This was a pretty good manga with a main theme (I got from it) was hope. It had a lot of high points with the normal flaws that all stories have. Well here's a break down of my review so you can see what.

Art: 3/5

Okay maybe 3 out of 5 is a little harsh but I didn't really care for it. It's a realistic manga style. The artwork has great backgrounds, objects, people, etc. but the style still irks me. The funny thing though is that the cover was the thing that got me to read this manga.

Story: 4/5

Begging is kind of slow. You don't really know what's going on for a little bit but it keeps you wanting to know what's going on. It has a pretty good story line that is humorous and sad at the same time. But it blends really well with each other so it's not jagged.

Characters: 4.5/5

Not quite prefect but almost there. The main thing about the characters that irked me were the school kids. Most of them were all the same. But they are just minor so they are not that important. School kids aside, most characters have their own personalities; even the dog. Another thing about the characters I didn't like were their names. They seemed to all seem to look the same to me but I've heard other people didn't have this problem so it's probably just me.

Overall feel: 4.5/5

It had a feel that you could relate to. Out of all the characters there is one that has problems similar to you. It also had a fictional realistic feel where you could read and see that you're reading real life but not be bored by it.

Overall: 4/5

It was a great manga that I really enjoyed. I don't have any comparisons with this one but I have to say that's what makes it unique.

Recommendations:

The only people that wouldn't like this would be people who like lots of violence, blood, and romance. There isn't much violence and blood, and the romance is more at a could happen level currently.
