I thought it was cute and there was not even a single character i thought it was better off without. Only i think that it could be longer. I would have liked reading more of nao & asada and see more of their character change in their relationship. they would only become even cuter

I laughed, I cried, and I wanted to hug the mangaka. This is a licensed title, but it's a title you can feel happy to own.
The story is simpler than it seems: it's the story of a man's struggle with conflicting feelings. But what makes this one special is that it's deeper than it appears on the surface. As the story goes on, it also incorporates themes of self-worth, grudges and how time can change someone. The two characters go on a journey of self-revelation, and even though the story is largely light-hearted and fluffy, there's genuine moments of strong emotion and heartfelt honesty. The characters - even the small supporting cast - are refreshing in that they're not flat stereotypes or walking cliches. They have charm, and a natural level of complexity that makes them each seem realistic and genuine. Our main character is a tad over-dramatic - but I'd argue that his rash attitude is what proves to be his most interesting trait. This is a case where the characters make mistakes to advance the plot, but it doesn't feel arbitrary; it's rather interesting how they react against each other, and with different motives.

If I had to list any drawbacks to this story, I lament that there's no sequel, because I adored this book. I'd love to see their issues and thoughts explored more thoroughly. The foundation here could've easily set up another volume.
