Side notes: As I pushed this manga around from last Tuesday I's mainly wondering how much it reminded me about Amanchu!! And it's not the only manga that went through my mind but I'm bad with names but I do recall the picus though.^-^ The art is on a good level if not even close to great. Though the few images outside the first chapter give also impression of personalized style (odd proportions and shapes of people) so there is going to be more than ikemen that are presented. Also there is more than one time that you get a graphical reference to Shingeki no Kyojin. The story has a nice premise and feel to it so this could be fun to read if some stereotypes are avoided. Though the synopsis... well better not to say anything about it.
