# Let’s get the first thing out of the way! I do not know how the author managed, but they put drama in every, single, chapter. Yes from chapter 1 to 99. Albeit that most of the drama was cliche and you could spot it from a mile away, but wow that is a record. After reading 99 chapters in one sitting, all the constant drama was getting annoying. Everyone could use breathers and a pause from some of the eye-rolling I was doing.

# This plays up the “ideal” couple. Now when I say that yes they do have their flaws, but overall they are happy, and faithful just to name two. And before anyone can tell me that it does happen in real life, yes it does. But it is soooo rare so the “ideal” couple is not something everyone can resonate with and raises the bars for guys/girls. But again they had flaws, which was great. They could grow and become better people together and that was something to read this manga for.

# This manga felt like life lessons were thrown one after one at me. They were sly but it felt like that nonetheless. One being decide your own path for yourself. Work together and support each other, each other’s dreams and wishes. respect. Happiness takes work. You can always change and better yourself if you choose to.

# The side characters were just brought in when needed or for a side gag. That’s all. Only 2 get major improvements to themselves, but after that poof. And yes, I get it, they aren’t needed overall but they shouldn’t be dumped either, but thats something I greatly believe. For one example, I actually thought that Tsubaki and Sakura’s father wasn’t in the picture until I saw him in ONE PANEL around chapter 80.

# [SPOILER]
I am not a big fan of having the guy force themselves on a girl. And that happened in the first few chapters (although there wasn’t any sex, that happens WAY later). Even if it is a kiss or undressing someone, no. I extremely dislike when the male characters (based off the majority I’ve read/seen) do this.

# Apparently, in most places you try to read this, some of the pages are scanned terribly and/or missing translations. So sometimes its just plow through and try to enjoy by zooming in.

# To stop my ranting about the negatives, let’s go to the positive. The story flowed so smoothly. The romance parts were well written.

# Art I would say rates a 8/10 for me.
Also side note, for some reason this reminded me of Lovely Complex? I can’t say why nor was it the art solely but there was something there that led me to that thought.

# The drama as much as I complained that there was a lot, was not dragged out. And the whole story didn’t dwell on one thing for too long that ended up killing it. The ending was great as well, it left you happy for the main characters without spoiling it too much.

# The characters, the emotions, and even some of the experiences can and will definitely resonate with readers.
