If you're sick and tired of all the 90's and 2000's shoujo depiction of love/romance that shows extreme jealousy, codependency, possessiveness, tsundere/yandere, and the like, this is completely the series to restore your faith in humanity (or, at least restore your faith in Japanese shoujo manga tropes). I picked this series up with very few expectations since I've never read any of the author's previous works before. The art was cute and wispy, and I do like many a series with pretty female leads (my weakness!), so this seemed to be right up my alley.

A few chapters in, I was just completely enamored with the male lead, Akira. Oh man....he makes Kazehaya from Kimi no Todoke seem immature! Akira is so kind, caring, thoughtful, mature (but still maturing), and man...so so so wholesome. He's the perfect foil to Ran, the serious and beautiful but shy/timid heroine. It for sure made me feel very キュンキュンinside, lol.

I still have two more books to go to finish this, but I can't imagine it letting me down this late in the game. I did read Ammitsu-sensei's other work, Kanna to Decchi, and that was really cute/fluffy, as well, but just didn't have the right heartstring-tugging moments as this series. Highly recommend to those looking for fluffy, feel good shoujo that will restore your faith in healthy, cotton-candy-like relationships!

This is like so easy to read and refreshing and you get some flower language lessons too from it too. Both the ML and FL are totally adorable and super shy so it’s really cute seeing them convey their feelings with flowers.

At first glance FL can seem like a Mary Sue being written to be insanely beautiful and good at every facet of school and athletics but then we actually do get to see much more better insight into her character and how hard she works at obtaining her status (she’s constantly shown working out while studying) , she’s the yamato nadeshiko archetype but very humanized and has her own complex feelings and emotions and turmoils too which is so nice to have in a shoujo lead. I think her isolation from others putting her on a pedestal is very relatable for someone her age. She constantly tries to ignore it but clearly it bothers her no one really gets to know her until Akari starts talking to her and she’s too awkward and shy to initiate the conversations

Male lead is wonderful and also has his own unique humanizing characteristic that makes him relatable and not a super cute flawless shoujo male lead.

There are love rivals but they’re pretty insignificant and just used to propel the two leads relationship, they’re also written pretty annoyingly so it’s easy to not creating all out ship wars and leave literally right after their arc ends which is weird cuz they never show up anymore after that

Overall the art is lovely, pacing is great, story is cute. can’t ask for a better shoujo

Cant believe no reviews for this fluffiest pure series 😍 the artstyle is very good, story is good also informative about flowers. This mangakas works are always informative (kanna to decchi).
Main couple is just precious if you like shoujo without drama (of course there are some classic shoujo arcs) this is it. It gives u bliss while reading.
