7.5/10
This was a very sweet story, and I enjoyed reading it. The interactions between Kuze and Fuyuki were both comedic and heart-warming. While the story borders on cliche moments at times, I believe that adds to the charm of the story. Personally, the art style really suited my taste. The character designs, for Kuze especially, give me 90s vibes which really suit my taste. Despite enjoying this story overall there were some aspects of it that could use improvement. I believe that Fuyuki and Kuze's backstory could have really been developed better. While I did find the conclusion to Kuze's troubles to be satisfying it felt very quick and anti-climatic. Additionally, the pieces just felt like they fit together 'too' conveniently in regards to Kuze's 'villain'. However, how they concluded his character arc wasn't too bad. On the other hand, I was vastly disappointed in Fuyuki's backstory and how they concluded it... it felt too easy and almost cheap because of how easily she got a happy ending ( when clearly her situation was very complex). I would have rated this higher if the author concluded the manga and Fuyuki's backstory better, and covered it with more chapters. There were plenty of chapters with that seemed to be filler where they just went off to cases ( which has its own charm) but some of those could have been used instead to address Fuyuki's issues.
