The story is interesting. I do enjoy how Mei has learnt to struggle with her power and has made some social faux pars over the years. The story isn't amazing but it isn't terrible. I think the first volume struggles due to introducing so many characters and getting into too much backstory (I don't think we needed the rooftop scene or Mei flashbacking to her childhood so often). 

The characters are cute, but lack depth right now. Yes, it's volume one, but I don't know anything about anyone. What are their favourite foods? Hobbies? Nothing! I know nothing except everyone likes Mei. 

I'll pick up the next volume, mostly for the art. The art is cute and feels youthful. There are a few chibi scenes and the sound effects and facial expressions are well done. However, the best thing is the colouring. The arrows of love are pink and come in various shapes (squiggly, big, small etc). They have a life of their own and it's fun to watch them and try and figure out why they're like that. Pink is used in other aspects too. There is a double page of cherry blossoms, which is stunning. I really like the concept of only having one colour, and only for certain things.
