This manga focuses on a different pair of characters and their relationship/romance each chapter. All of the characters are interrelated (most go to the same high school), and the manga comes back to the same pair every once in a while, so while it's episodic, it definitely keeps you reading. It kind of reminds me of "Girlfriend", except it's shoujo and there's not sex every chapter. This is very well written and I highly recommend it. [Druid from Hanashi]
