Hayasegawa-kun and Goddess Lady

Discernibly destitute of direction, development, and dispute, "disappointing" is the description most befitting this manga. Not only why any thing is done, but even by whom or what kind of person is not at all evident; in fact, the characters' motivations and natures are nonexistent or so hard to follow or understand that it is best to give up on the task entirely. Hence it comes that the events and characters of this manga are meaningless and even forgettable; it is difficult to name or recall even one discriminate event. As such, story-wise, it is deathly dull and stands out from thecompetition not at all. The praise-worthy aspect—and quite well so—is art, which looks sharply clear, almost light, like flame-polished glass; at no point will the reader not understand what it is the present scene is trying to show. This fact would work quite to the story's advantage if the latter were not so devoid of clarity. Overall, although not exactly a waste-of-time, it is not very fun to read, either.
