The series follows the romance that develops between 16-year-old Sakura Ryōko and her crush, Fuji Ryūnosuke, after she learns he works in a host club.

Reviews have been mixed about the series with commendation was given for the manga's art, while the plot clichés and character development were condemned.

Everyone thinks 16-year-old Ryoko has weird taste in guys because she can't stop drooling over Ryu, the strong silent type who sits next to her in class.

[36] A review of the third volume by MacFarlane comments that she is frustrated that "how often things revolve around misunderstandings that could be cleared up in about two minutes if the characters really sat and talked, or made a real attempt to figure how the other person might be feeling, but that's hardly unique to this series, or even to this genre (shōjo manga).

"[37] MacFarlane criticizes the fifth volume for being "one endless round of "oh, I can't possibly tell him the truth because OMG he'll hate me forever, so instead I'll complicate our lives immeasurably!

[45] Erin Finnegan from Pop Culture Shock comments on the overall story of the manga with "teenagers in hosts clubs to be unrealistic, but what’s frightening about this volume is the inspired-by-real-life lectures the kids are given by the manager when they try to quit.

"[47] Active Anime's Rachel Bentham commends the female protagonist, stating "[Ryoko] switches her moods on a dime faster than a roller coaster!

"[48] Leroy Douresseaux from Comic Book Bin compares the manga to Sand Chronicles stating "the laughter, the tears, the fear, the squabbles, the arguments, etc.

"[49] In a review of the third volume, Douresseaux commends the manga's "clever character drama that focuses less on sex and more on the minefield that is romantic and interpersonal relationships.

Drawn at interesting angles, this is the perfect visual language for telling comic book stories of teen love.

"[52] Lori Henderson from Comics Village heavily pans the manga stating "it's needlessly melodramatic, the characters are not interesting, and the situations are cliche.
