I had reviewed this previously a few years back and was so harsh (also, the story hadn't been finished then), but I don't think that way anymore.
I pretty much hated it back then, but now I wouldn't say it's the most original in the world, but it's not bad, it's cute. Pretty common storyline and a bit too simple, because everything fell into place with almost no conflict, too easily.
To make this better, I wish it started sooner, showing more of Taiga's unrequited love and tactics, then a few years went by and it evolved from there, because I'm not too happy about how quickly Nagisa return his feelings. I'm also not a fan of fluff, angst is my cup of tea, but this was an enjoyable story to pass the time.
Taiga was my type in the beginning: cold, pushy, very seme. But when he got softer, it seemed like a big puppy.
The conflict was a bit laughable and it could've been finished before then.
Oh, something I did like was that the friends helped out, which was a nice touch.
Overall, not bad, just a quick read 🙂

XD Strange title but i stand by it. This manga, despite being only 4 chapters so far makes me feel amazingly warm and fuzzy inside, the same sort of feeling you get when you hold something amazingly cute (kitten/puppy whatever). So far i'm being reeled in. The gradual progression is fast enough to keep you satisfied but still leaves you wanting more. It is truly addictive to read. Add in the (as usual) superb art and panel pacing and you've got a top rate story on your hands. 10/10

Nagisa is truly the cutest uke ever! I love this story and can't wait for more. The plot is pretty commonplace but it still leaves you wondering what sort of trials this couple will face in the future. Nagisa is a refreshing change from the super passive ukes in the manga I've read lately and I also like that they didn't immediately have sex. That kind of irks me when the couples immediately sleep together when they confess or worse before they confess.

The art's really nice too. I'm kind of embarrassed I didn't realise who the mangaka was since Minase Masara is one of my favorites. But this is just the kind of manga I would expect from such a gifted mangaka.

Not exactly good, but not exactly bad. As usual from this author there is a decent set up that always falls very flat. This is cliched and lacks emotion and character development. Not sure why people fawn after her work so much when it's just not very good at all and shows little to no growth from story to story. The art is the same as ever, decent but kind of soulless and boring. No shading to speak. Read if you enjoy her work, skip if you don't .

I tried to like it, I really did.
But honestly, I found it way too shallow, fast and incredibly cliche (and that's saying something since I usually don't mind cliches! ) .

Not Minase Masara's best work, I found her other series like Gokujou no Koibito much better.

this is so good. once again, sensei work is amazing. the art and story are just awesome.

this statement "why am i a good kisser?" that made me thinking also and made some guesses. sensei works are not just about hot guys making out. there's story in it.

i just read the scanlated chapter 1 and i want more.

Rating at that time: 10

EDIT: I finished reading this. Well, it started interesting but gone downhill. With only 1 volume (it's so short) plus staggered releases, the story prolly wane and eventually lost my interest.
