Maybe I've set my standards a little too high, but it's hard to find anything I enjoy these days. Well, at least any one shots I enjoy. But then again, one shots are pretty simplistic, and I like complicated. When I have a bit more time, I will, I promise, review something that doesn't end in one or a few chapters. (I had planned something special for a few weeks ago, but school decided to rob me of my happiness and free time.)

So Runa and Mio go to an all girl's school (bet you didn't see that one coming), and there's this festival going on. I'm assuming it's a cultural fair, but it's not super clear. Since it's called HALLOWEEN Rhapsody.
Runa is dressed as a witch and Mio as a cat girl maid, yet they run the same booth/classroom activity together. Hm. Well Runa has a crush on Mio, but apparently, people at this school don't like lesbians. What prudes. So anyway, this causes Runa to be especially fearful of telling her best friend about her feelings.
But Mio takes it all pretty well, of course. Because, this is a one shot, things have to get confirmed. Otherwise that just blows. And this isn't a yaoi manga. There will be no blowing here.

This isn't the worst manga in the world, obviously, but it really has nothing redeeming going for it. It's just… boring. Kinda dumb. With characters you just can't get into. And I didn't necessarily enjoy the style much. It wasn't ugly, just not my thing. This just kind of rubbed me the wrong way I guess.
For the good news, I'm on spring break in two weeks? I'll work on reading some long manga series and reviewing those during that time.
