Honey Lemon Soda, Vol. 1 by Mayu Murata
3.0

This is a fairly cute manga, but after reading an amazing series like Kimi Ni Todoke, it's pretty hard for me to wholeheartedly love another manga with such a similar premise. It's fine for what it is, and I'll likely keep reading it for a while, but it's nothing ground-breaking; Uka is no Sawako, and Kai (the main LI) is also just sort of okay, not openly warm and kindhearted like Kazehaya.
