Yuuhi Romance had potential by chapter 5 end, but after that everything went haywire, from chapter 6 onwards most chapters were abt 8 pages long, while b4 that at least 1x to 2x pages. Chapter 11, the last chapter, is a collection of gags, character introductions and 4-koma, has 3x pages. Chapters 9 and 10 were ok, given that they clear up some of the story where chapter 5 left off. Chapters 6,7,8 were just random, and abt 8 pages long so dun expect much.

Story:4
Story content is bad. There wasn't much to go around in the first place, and the story kept jumping genres, romance, school life, slice of life, harem etc. There is no main genre, and no focus or plot either. You can read it for gags and zoom past the pages as there is almost no deep emotions or storyline portrayed.

Bright side of this series is that I love the presentation methods used. Flashback method, abstract presentation method, recorder zooming method etc. instead of just a straight sequencing presentation of events.

Art:3
Probably the worst aspect of this series. Inconsistent art, esp character designs. Some went through a revamp over a few chapters, and the drawing is not very good either. Esp the eyes, sometimes they look like a "battle rooster's eyes", both eyes facing the nose.

Character:4
Bad. Almost no character development, some chapters were used for gags instead of crucial explanation etc. Take chapter 5 for example. Chapter 6 was based on something entirely unrelated. Characters were introduced then abandoned, side and main characters were just used for events, but you can't really see their unique characteristics.

Enjoyment: 6
To be honest, until chapter 5 I expected the story to become very good, similar to KissxSis, but o well. Enjoyed it less and less over the remaining 6 chapters.

Overall:6
Ah, after this series I'm quite hesitant to read Hyakko, another series by same mangaka. O well, if you enjoy short series like this, read Strange Mansion, which is of a higher quality level and about deviants.
