Oh screw you. I'm not writing another review, and i don't get why previous one's been blasted, especially with the amount of shitposting that generally goes on under other titles.
Basically, it can be very good or very boring, depending on your taste. It's almost literal take on "slice of life" genre, and at the end we get to see the characters a little more grown up that they were in the beginning (because guess what? real life is subtle and not so dramatic).
I gave it and eight, but i can easily imagine someone else rating it below four.

I read this because of the romance tag, and at no point does it happen. Plenty of funny moments, but I was hoping for something with Ryun, which was disappointing.

Forced myself to finish it yesterday. I could probably spend an hour nitpicking every little thing that irated me about this series so for the sake of my time and avoiding spoilers I'll keep it brief:
Enjoyable SoL light drama/comedy up until it switches focus entirely to "S" about 1/3 through. After that it's just drama, backstories, more drama, high school kids deeply psychoanalyzing one another yet entirely unable to think for themselves, drama, a character with more plot armor than the goddamn Batman, more drama and some more more backstories. Once "S" arc finishes, which is about 2/3 through, the rest is basically just filler backstories with, you guessed it, more drama. This is also the point where any amount of "romance" appears, if entirely random crushes that never really go anywhere can be called "romance".

I find it good - a bit realistic kinda, but yeah I guess it does depend on preferences and your expectations of the manga. A 7 would be suffice

I really like this story. The romance tag is a little odd on it, but i enjoy it. I remember reading it back in high school and it ringing very authentic to me - and rereading it now is both nostalgic and just pleasant. Its not like a super tense high action drama - but its a casual tale about kids who grow and change a little through high school. I like it.
