to begin with, i think the one shot was better because it was the good part of the story without the cons of the entire manga.

The story had the potential to be a true masterpiece and a really touching story but it didnt go very well in my opinion...

The manga should have just focused with the two main characters instead of giving us that bad film projet with all those uninteresting other characters. It would have been really good if the two of them would have faced some "trouble" by seeing other characters from the elementary school who bullied the girl. The manga did not take enought depth in this and decided to put that shi*ty film instead which forces us to see some characters that we just dont want to see like Miki, the class representative who is basically a wh*re from the start to the end of the story.

To conclude, if you are interested by the plot, just read the one shot it's MORE than enought believe me do not waste your time with anything else this manga is for me a bit of a disappointment and more than anything else : a big waste

Overall i put a 6 because of the one shot and of the plot which is a good idea but a wasted idea unfortunately. If not for the one shot it would have been a 5.

The 2 main characters are very good, a shy cute girl (i'm quite disappointed by the lack of romance into this story it would have been way better with more romance) and a kind man who just knows that he fu*ked up in his youth. Both deserve at least a 9 but once again i put 7 (and it's i think still too much) because of the other annoying or bad characters like Miki, also the fat boy who became friend with MC (this one is juste plain annoying, at the end i wasn't even reading his bubbles, he's useless...)
The "handsome" guy is a contradiction in himself. He says he hates bully but he's best friend his the class representative who DENIES every bit of implication with the bullying she has done. I would have believed that author was going to do an arc focused on this with the "handsome" guy that would forces this wh*re to assume what she has done if she wants to stay with him (she has a crush on him) but no. The author didnt do anything, either he forgot either he didnt care but it's not acceptable especially when you notice that class rep is still the EXACT same at the end (deny everything).
This manga is presumably talking about friendship too but what friendship ? Apart the 2 mains characters they are just colleagues. Class rep is there because of the handsome guy, this one is there because he was bored, fatty is just there because he wants to do a movie and black haired girl is here because she has a crush on MC.

I honestly think this manga is overrated because people are emotive and rate it for it's original and touchy plot instead of noting it for what is offers to us = wasted and useless romance, it would have been better if author didnt make any romance at all instead of teasing us for nothing, bad friendship, bad character development and some incoherences (black haired girl is in love with MC since elementary school but for some reasons she cut every ties with him in elementary school, she just talked with him to bully him once in middle school I just dont understand her it's a nonsense..)
