Seikimatsu Darling, the first series, is really adorable. I especially like the way it starts out. I was aghast when I realized it just *stopped* without any resolution (back before the second series came out).
The second series (really just a continuation with a different publisher)...is...well...the characters are still cute, but the lack of plot eventually gets to the point where it makes me go, "And what is the point of this?" It starts to focus too much on zany little vignette episodes that TRY to be plot but don't quite succeed. The author either needs to jack up the cuteness of the characters to the point that I don't care if there's a plot, I could just watch them sit around talking to each other and I'd be happy (as in the case of, say, Corseltel no Ryuujutsushi)...or develop the plot to the point that it will hold my interest.
<whisper>...or increase the smut level a notch or two...</whisper>
