Deep Love Virus

When I started reading Deep Love Virus I did not know it was a one shot, so I was very surprised at how fast the pace was set but only mildly surprised when I reached the end of the book (I thankfully figured out it was a once-shot before then). The story was cute (shojou what can you do ;)) and the main character Mako is actually quite lovable, even when she would constantly burst into tears I could not get annoyed with her. The one person I could get annoyed with though was Haru. I had to put Haru under the list of characters I wanted to smack for being so darn confusing! From the very beginning this guy would do one thing and then contradict his actions by acting like nothing happened (you can tell that from the synopsis) and it just got old really quickly. Now I move on to Shun, I love Shun. He was the quiet, I'll keep my emotions hidden type who is the one person you'd want to be your shoulder.

For a one-shot/short story I have to say this manga was really good and is in fact the only one-shot manga I actually like so far. Of course the pace was a bit fast- you don't get a lot of time to see things develop, but there is only so much you can do in one volume and I was not at all annoyed with the relationships that developed in this story. I do believe however that the ending was tied up just a little too neatly when it came to a happily ever after for everyone. A little strange too.
