This was really sweet to read, finally a longer relationship progression without much drama. We'll see a lot of individual development, leaning on coming of age but still very typically shoujo. Though the characters a cliche, they all have a specific twist that give off a refreshing vibe, you'll also come to love the side characters. The pacing is slow once in a while, but it whas a wholesome read.

Usually I’d be put off by a shoujo, thinking it would include all of the typical clichés (love triangles, slow romance, etc), but this is one of the best shoujo’s I have read! The only clichés it has are those tagged in the category section as well as the fact it likes to repeat the fact that he is “meant to look scary”. He’s really sweet both personality and looks, in my opinion. I’d recommend it for any romance fan, even though the scans are ongoing. It’s nice to know the series itself is completed. I would definitely get this series if it were licensed in English!

Thank you Timeless Scans & Miss Mystery for the time you put into the scans and the scans themselves!

I love this manga. To be fair, I'm a big fan of slice of life as it is, but this one is one of my favorites. It feels very adult--not in the steamy sense, but in the way the characters think, talk, and react.They both have surprisingly mature perspectives on life and happiness, which is both the hallmark and pot-of-gold of a great SoL manga. Both MCs are misunderstood for their looks (but in opposite ways), and both truly like each other for pure, genuine, and honest reasons. Hanazono is a darling, a sweetheart, and incredibly precious, and you can't help but cheer for him at every step. As a veteran of SoL genre, if you're looking for something deceptively simple but rich in sweetness and meaning, I strongly recommend reading this manga.

I've read the raws and I tell you that this is your atypical shoujo!!!!
This is amazing!!! The art, the story and everything...
There are no cringe-worthy moments and they break the stereotypical cliches that I sometimes expect in a given situation!!!

What I really like are how the characters are well developed!!!!
- The male MC is not just kind but has quite the character... I thought he was timid at first but can be quite dependable when the situation arises..:
-The female MC is very likeable!!!
She isn't the stereotypical moe sobbing mess...
She is honest and straight forward with her feelings and doesn't shy away if she wants to get close with the boyfriend...
-The Mother of the male MC is funny and laid back... I really like her type...

I have nothing else to say but read it!!!!
And I do not hand out praises easily but this manga is totally worth it!!!
