This is a really sweet manga about 4 guys with different personalities being themselves and trying to find love during high school. They struggle with their grades and with finding girlfriends who aren't just trying to use them based on their perceived financial status.
I think that I actually kind of like how each boy expresses their affection differently. Especially Natsuki and Katakura. I think I can guess where Matsunaga's storyline is going to go, and that's perfectly fine with me! There's a difference between a poly relationship and plain ol' cheating and I'd rather have Matsunaga's character go through a predictable plotline than be a proud cheater. Tsuyoshi was a little harder to get a bead on, especially since he wasn't present for the first chapter. I'd be interested to learn more about him as the series goes on.
Anyways, this volume is a fluffy start to a hopefully very fluffy shojo manga series!
