The main story tends to be about Eko, however the student council president, Kawasumi Makoto, has some time devoted to her, as does the vice president, Tootama Shizuku. On the plus side though, some of the gags that occur actually work better with this style as the essence of the manga is that it isn't to be taken seriously.Īs main characters go, Hiroshi is pretty plain. Equally, only the bare minimum has been done to portray the various emotions of each character. The character designs are a little on the childish side, especially with Hiroshi having the typical 'guy who looks like a monkey' design found in anime and manga. That said, this manga still falls on the enjoyable side as there are enough jokes and situational comedy to keep you going for a while, and the fact that each chapter averages around 13 pages means that you'll get through the whole story pretty quickly.Īs far as the artwork goes, it's very simplistic, and maybe a little too 'cartoonish' for some tastes. There are some other original twists further into the story but, unfortunately, these can't really lift the whole plot to anything above average. However, after this initial burst of concept the story quickly becomes a typical school based rom-com centred on mobile phones. can all guess what's actually inside the box isn't a simple mobile phone, andthat's where the originality in this tale begins. A short time later the phone is delivered to his home in a very large box. He has always disliked mobile phones, however he somehow has the feeling that this is the phone for him, so he takes it to be repaired. The tale begins with Chanomizu Hiroshi, a middle school student who finds a broken mobile phone in a pile of garbage. It's unfortunate then that this manga, in it's efforts to be original, has made the same mistakes that are prevalent in many other stories.

To say that 090 Eko to Issho is a unique take on mobile phones would be an understatement.
