I remember when I first read it on impulse, it was a couple of days before chapter 3 came out. Then I found out that it was a quarterly manga T.T
Art is great. Characters are great (Though I was a bit adverse to Kusakabe's change in the first three chapters, it was gradual enough and ch4 was excellent in that area.). Occassional humour is great...
simply awesome...at least I think so. perhaps my affection towards maths and sciences contributes a great deal.
EDIT: so it's now mid 2021. I stopped following this series at the end of 2014 when I began med school, I think. Just couldn't bare the 4/year release schedule, it was torturous for a series that was legit one of my favourite manga out there.
Now 7 years later I can come back and spent hours today re-reading and finally finishing it and I can say:
This series is STILL AWESOME!
It's beautiful, it's sweet, it's cute, it's deep, it makes you ache.
Really throughout reading it there was oftena slight achey feeling, but there were also laughs and so many saccharine moments and pages and plotlines.
I disagree with someone in another review who said ending was rushed, it felt fine to me, and the mangaka said in 5th volume omake that she knew how she wanted to end it from the beginning.
It's simply so so so good. And I 100% want to follow everything she writes as a result and buy the physical copies one day to support her.
I do wish that 2 characters in particular had one last conversation
Tomonaga and Kayama, the two teachers who developed feelings swiftly but he never heard from her why she decided they shouldn't be together
but that's just how life goes, huh?
And I wish the epilogue had more content to it, though tbh I was actually pleasantly surprised by how many pages there were devoted to it as is. Idk I just wish there were another chapter or two. Sigh, this was so good mannnnn.
Big Big thanks to Vexed Scans and those who worked alongside them for translating this series for the wider world!
EDIT 2: Also have to point out because I saw a review say otherwise, the art is extremely good. Her drawings of girls is incredibly cute, with the main characters looking distinctive and each of them being cute af. AND the designs of the outfits is...Wow. This mangaka deserves a lot of work.
