Side notes: This manga more or less baffles me as I saw the scores on MAL and Baka. Someone really dislikes this manga as it scores poorly 4,5 on MAL and even on Baka it barely makes the margin on 6,7 points. That doesn't feel okay to me as Bato.to it scores full marks (by only one reader). My biggest problem is the size of the manga, the theme and idea behind seem much larger scaled than the actual size of the manga (4 chapters?! and one is even one-shot). So there seems to be two options: the manga was planned like this; or there has been a lot of small sizing behind the scenes that also affects the outcome of the manga (no mentions of axed or rushed ending yet).

Art is on quite good level, a plain sided but I can live with it (so not that big problems there). Though there is a lot to do to bring the art on better level. Story is still pretty okay so it's better than MAL scoring lets you think.
