I love it. I love how the story unfolds: one character's resolving past regrets cascades into a coming of age for all. I love Masuda Eiji's art, which is consistently beautiful and occasionally goofy, but it's always fitting. I love the characters, which all have their stories, struggles, and regrets, however thin, typical, or exaggerated they might seem to the detached. This manga is fun, this manga is uplifting, this manga is worthwhile to all who've enjoyed Masuda Eiji's work, and I encourage those who haven't read him to try this manga out.

I’m gonna start reading this.

I loved Jitsu wa, it’s on my list of best manga.
I was, though, drastically disappointed by Shuukan Shounen by comparison.

EDIT: Okay, this sucks.
It’s stupid in the same way that Jitsu wa is, but it’s not stupid to be funny, it’s stupid for stupid’s sake.
The drama is agonizingly painful to ty and read through, and I skipped through a lot of pages just to avoid reading nonsense.

It has that unique Masuda art style, but that’s it. It’s remarkably average (and even less than average) in all other regards.

The smiles are creepy, i can read the characters because of this. They look like they have problems(they do) but they are forcing themselves to smile.

I almost dropped this series but i probably enjoyed it; there are times it bores me and there are also times the plot is interesting and catching. The manga is straight to the point no fanservice so if you want story this is it.

don't get me wrong, both the characters and story are really enjoyable. it even made me emotional a few times. but i just wish there was more slice of life in it. i never really got the chance to connect with them and attach myself to the characters and so the story's ending didn't really pack the punch i expected it to. manga just too short

that aside, overall a pretty solid read, especially when having in mind Eiji Masuda's future works and the reoccurring themes. would recommend!

sakura discord spoilers, mild jitsu wa watashi wa spoilers:
its nice to see an alternate version of Shima that isn't an absolute despicable human being. on contrary, he became quite the chad by the end.... i love him so much......
also is it just me or is Jitsu's Okada just an algamation of SD Mebuki, SD Shima and SD Oka? there can be drawn so many parallels between their stories and character arcs. its honestly just crazy
