I have yet to really find something similar to this in the way it plays out. When its funny its funny, when the characters tale a break from the story its quaint, when its serious its serious. It starts well and finishes well, which not a whole lotta manga stuff can say. When it decides to get emotional, its a happy emotional, and seeing them all overcome their self doubt is nice.
10/10. It left me satisfied, and I will miss these characters, but the author was kind enough to let you know they end up well.
