Realistic and heartwarming story

This is the first time I've read something from this mangaka (even though Usotsuki wa Shinshi no Hajimari is way more popular than this one). I think she's gonna become one of my favorites, and I'll go check immediately her other works.
More specifically about this manga, I've only read the first story since it's the only one that's been scanlated so far. So my comment and rating are only for this story.
It has a very realistic feel to it, the way their feelings develop, how they reacted to them, the way it affected their lives, how a lot of things were left unsaid. I really appreciated that they were acting like normal adults would, even for Homura when he was still a high-scooler. In the end it's quite a simple story with just a little push of luck, but it has this endearding feeling of a human story. Somehow it felt as if the story and the characters were treated delicately by the author, as if not wanting to intrude on them too much.
The art was also very enjoyable. Clean, a bit unusual, but very refreshing from the mainstream we're flooded by everyday.
I truly recommend it for those who like stories with a realistic feel, or for the lovers of atypical art, or those who want to try something a bit different.

Couple 1: [They're on the cover.]

Homura grew into an ugly haircut. Kiriaki's design reminds me of Barnaby from Tiger & Bunny so I like it. XD I don't get squicked out easy but I felt uneasy at the favoritsm and way Kiriaki treated Homura. Maybe because for Homura it's just such puppy love which shouldn't be encouraged. This is actually addressed later which I liked. I don't like puppy adult characters so Homura reverting back to it after reuniting with Kiriaki was meh.

CWs: Ambiguous teacher/student thing in the first half that can feel squicky

Couple 2: Yuki escapes to Berlin to forgot his heartbreak, and there he meets Mischa, a half-German half-Japanese who runs a cafe alone. This is a cute, cozy story with a smidge of angst and then hopefulness. 🙂

Couple 3: This one is a fantasy. A wolf gets hurt so his brother learns how to turn him human and send him to a healer who is more than he seems. Super interesting premise, but not enough build up for me. I just didn't see why the characters liked each other. I also wanted to see more of the older brother, I was really surprised when he didn't come back to check on his brother.

Had loads of potential

I like most of what the first story has to offer: decent writing, likeable characters, good art and good story. The only wish from me would be a less anti-climatic ending. It's very fast paced and leaves little room for the audience to resonate with the trials and hurdles the couple had to go through before they could be together in the end.

Didn't care much for the second story tbh. Premise is semi-interesting but the storytelling needs a lot of work put in it to make it shine. And characters didn't really have any spark in them, which is the opposite of the case with the first story. Still, there's a lot of potential I see in this author and I'll definitely check out more from her.

The first story is good

The first story with the art teacher is very sweet. The development and interaction between the characters felt natural. The second story (with the cafe owner) is alright and the third (mage and werewolf) has a completely different feel. As far as the sexual content, it doesn't get super explicit but the author is still able to cultivate an intense and erotic feeling. But in the 2nd and 3rd stories the sexual content is rather brief or nonexistent. I still give this overall a 9/10 since the first story is really good, but I'm dropping a point since the other two are a bit lackluster.
