As with the author's previous works such as Love Mode, this manga series explores different couples (but not stand alone stories, they all know each other in a way).
I am impressed that the author has improved their art so much compared to their debut series Love Mode. I very much enjoy their writing and how they are able to incorporate different couples in just one series where all the couples are linked in a way (because of Yakuza, friendship etc.).
Ito is so cute! I love how expressive, honest, happy he is with others and with Hitomi even though he has that angst past trauma from Tokyo. He makes me laugh with his expressions sometimes. I love his growing friendship with Shizuru (edit: which I have a feeling will grow even more during the HitomixIto story arc).
If you enjoyed the author's Love Mode, then you will also this one but with improved art.
I like that the author took the time to first introduce the three main couples of the story and THEN slowly focused on each couple's stories volume(s) length wise in different arcs.
I really thought we were going to get a normal countryside story focused on different couples but on the contrary, numerous tragic past/past incidents plays a role in the cast's stories.
It's still ongoing but I'm sure in the future the author can wrap up the series nicely and give everyone a happy ending.
My favorite pairings (in order): Shizuru x Shoumei, Ito x Hitomi.
As of writing, (Volume 10) I am looking forward to Ito and Hitomi's arc.
