Between Philia and Eros

Overall, a pretty good read. Plot: While the story is somewhat average, it has a good hook early on and keeps you guessing. This slows down a bit towards the end, then ends impressively well with a fun twist. Chemistry: Largely believable, the feelings the main characters share for each other are well portrayed and make sense. The story does a nice job depicting the different levels of surety of two people's affection for each other. Art: Great facial expressions are the strongest aspect of the art. Characters frequently have odd ways of expressing how they're feeling in a way that keeps the panels fun. Characterdesigns are good enough to get the job done. Background art is sparse, which can be fine, but I prefer more detailed backgrounds. What I enjoyed most about this story was the angst. I'm a big fan of angst! While cutesy at times, the reason to read this manga is for the painful tugs we feel in our hearts when things do and don't go our way. It's a nice little read. I definitely recommend it.
