Semi-Spoiler Alert(?)
Allow me to give a review of the entire series.

The series started off kinda so-so. Honestly when I finished reading the first few chapters, I still had some reservations if I should continue reading this story. To be honest, I am NOT a fan of reading student-teacher relationships. Nonethless, I'm so glad I trudged on. The series started with the focus on Suzume and Shishio-Sensei's relationship at the first few volumes. And while it was okay, you can also see how Mamura had a thing for Suzume. By the time the first half was done, the series focused now on Suzume and Mamura's relationship, this time with Shishio pining for her. Overall, I felt that the pacing of the story was cleverly done.

One of my main problems whenever I'm reading a shoujo manga is that the mangaka tends to try making the series longer that it really should be. I am glad I did not feel that way while reading this series at all. Another one of my main problems is the opposite, in which the mangaka tries to end the manga suddenly and leave a lot of unanswered questions. Again, I am glad I did not have that problem here. I felt the mangaka focused sufficiently on the relationship of Suzume and Shishio, and then giving ample amounts of focus on the growing relationship of Suzume and Shishio.

In addition, a shoujo series tends to end with the first lead and SPOILER ALERT: I'm glad that the MC ended with the second lead, which I wholeheartedly believe is the correct choice.

Overall, I am so glad I continued reading this manga and you can definitely expect me to try continuing to read Yamamori-sensei's other work, Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet . Indeed, reading Yamamori-sensei's work does not disappoint. Domo arigato gozaimasu for this great series, Yamamori-sensei!
