This will be short as I'm not going to do a chapter by chapter wrap up. I should have figured, given that this comic is labled an "Anthology Comic." It is a collection of sort stories, usually between 10-15 pages long involving funny and cute situations with the characters from KimiNozo. Unfortuantely, I haven't played the video game so I have no background information coming into this. I was hoping the comic would give me a little insight, but unfortunately it doesn't. Heck, I'm still not clear on the names of all the characters involved.

The artwork varies a lot since this is a compilation of comics drawn by many different artists. None of them are as sweet as CG graphics, but some are better than others. The short stories are mostly about the trials and tribulations of love among the characters, all of which I don't understand the basis for, but some are entertaining to read just as situation comedies.

So without having proper background, I will hold this book at a neutral. That also means I won't be reading vol. 2, which is on my shelf like every other manga in publication, until after I see the cartoon.
