First half was good; Second half was a mess  
by HSuke

Rating: 7.0  / 10.0

The first half had so much promise. It really reminded me of the messy relationships I had in the past and my own super-iveness. I was hoping MC would get over his problems by the end of the series, but he does it in all the wrong ways.

I do like how the characters are set up more realistically, but by the end of the series, all the girls turn out to be props for the story.

I wouldn't read this if I were you. The MC is pathetic, the women in this manga are pathetic. The ending is pathetic. No idea how this garbage got published.

A Gem Indeed!

I'm older than the late-twenties main character, and I the desperation of that period regarding finding a mate. I found this manga a very moving reprise of that period, with an added element--strong reason to hope that things might turn out OK. I can hardly wait to see if he manages to not screw it up.

if your not single and in your late twenties or thirties then its not for you
but if you are then this manga will hit you hard
its still early but this one is very promising Mature manga
feels little bit josei-ish but mostly seinen (the mangaka is female)
makes me remmeber some of Taku Kitazaki mangas

It's decent

Rating: N/A

story : hard to say when it's not even above 1 volume..
Art : good it's realistic and easy to see what happens(bubbles are good places too) Old style japanese, not the typical KAWAII nii-san style.

It's about fujimoto 29 years old, didn't get any girlfriend/s but somehow have gotten laid, so he says.. From no where he gets lot's of calls from old close friends.. that want to start date him again, It's a good manga if you read it on marathon.. but not worth waiting for.. It's decent nothing speciall..

Light Hearted Fun

I've read up to ch 3 and so far:
It's about a guy who can't any. He's 29 years old and he's never had a gf(but he isn't a virgin). He starts getting calls from female acquaintances that ask him out, but in the end, none of them really want to be his gf. It's light hearted and some of it is funny.
