This series is so good!

The romance is that good, oh-so slow burn that makes you scream when they look at each other. It's sweet, easy, and so touchy-feely. This is what you want in a cutsey romance manga.

I do wish that Koki and Sae had personally developed more through the series. They seem to be the same throughout the episodes and volumes. A lot of things happen in high school, and I wish that there were more involvement of the two main characters with their surroundings. Though Ayukawa may just add the drama needed to spice up the series.

I am still absolutely loving this series. It has really good pacing, the interactions between our couple are very cute and sweet, and I'm definitely still excited for each additional volume. My one comment is we seem to not get a ton of character building for many of the other characters, but the few we do in addition to our couple are very intriguing and I've been liking them. This is a great shoujo read especially for early high schoolers.

Thank you NetGalley and Viz Media for the arc.

This one slowed down a bit for sure and a subtle taste of miscommunication and slow burn. I still think Yota likes Sae… he’s closing in and Koki is getting jealous.

Some scenes are wholesome and it reminds me of skip and loafer

This was so, so cute. I would definitely recommend this to fans of Kimi Ni Todoke, because I find that the main characters of each to be very alike. This volume took time to really show Koki's feelings towards Sae (although, of course, she still seems to be oblivious to them), as well as developing side characters and other potential love interests for each of the leads. I'm interested to see where this goes, I'm really loving it and can't wait for the next volume!
