Art was good！ Like Junji Ito style without the horror lolThe stories were random？ About weird boys？ I don’t know how to describe this book… Anyway， I don’t feel like this was anything special。 I read it once。 Probably won’t read it again。

The story of Hayashi/Ema/Matsuya is on the quirk， more comedy type， while Nikaido/Medaka is more on the shounen-ai type。 It is a cute manga with somewhat weird， but loveable characters。 And the art is mature-ish。 Will check the LA。
