the oneshot was very good. i'm looking forward for the chapters. it seems like a nice romantic story, but those cameras for the filming wilt create some trouble for both of them...
By the way: the drawing is fabulous

Loved the one-shot. Simple and straightforward. If the series can pick up from that point (instead of a total re-write stretching it out and ending the same way) then I look forward to it.
Though other posts seem to already confirm I don't need to worry!

That was a good start. I really like the art for this manga. The development near the end was something I did not expect. Perhaps I'm just being paranoid, but I really hope Sana doesn't pass it off as a joke in the next chapter. D=
At any rate, it does seem promising. Definitely a keeper. |

The one-shot and the first chapter were so damn adorable; I'm definitely keeping an eye on this manga. I'd even be willing to offer my redrawing and scan cleaning services to the group that's currently scanlating this series if that helps them get out the chapters faster.
Is it a monthly or a weekly series? I hope it's the latter.. |

As I sat down and started reading the first chapter, I wondered just what the heck happened to it since the one shot. The major premise aside, the two seem almost entirely different.
Spoiler for chapter 1:
All that aside, is it just me or is WSJ producing more teen romance titles as of late? Could it be indicative of a slight demographic shift towards love-struck teenagers?
