Refreshing take on a typical shoujo manga! Amazing characters, character development and beautiful art!

The story is quite ordinary: high school girl trying to fit in and get together with her crush, lots of love triangles. What's different is that it goes the extra step to have significant character development and proper communication between characters. The atmosphere in general is a little more mature and dips its toes into darker themes such as grief and depression. The ending is satisfying.

I loved the protagonist. She may seem like a cliche shoujo girl, but she's actually very self-aware, honest and down to earth. All the characters are likable and Sakisaka makes a point to showcase why they do the things that they do.

Literally the only con I can think of is that the middle of the story drags on a little. Overall, a great read. 10/10 recommend!
