I have to say, this mangaka has a great talent for writing and drawing children. These truly are the most realistic depictions of child behavior I have seen in a long while, even if most of the children have the bodies of horses.
That said, I am getting bit bored with the direction the manga is taking. It's a bit ... disjointed. I'd like to know more about Himeno and Nozomi's relationship. Heck, maybe the mangaka can have Ayaka finally realize her feelings for Himeno as well. This could make for a great yuri triangle.
