I cried at least 10 times I'm not even joking.
This manga was such a journey. I'm going to say off the bat that not everyone is going to enjoy this because it's definitely a shoujo but it's not your usual sappy high school romance. It's more about the drama and development of relationships and characters more than the romance.
**I think the most important thing is that you can't go into this expecting romance. because you won't find it that easily. Teru and Kurosaki's relationship develops through their struggles and insecurities, situations thrown at them and how they deal with it together and not through your typical blushy atmospheric scenes where they swear their love for eachother. Yes, the romance is there but it's there in a less obvious and, in my opinion, a much more realistic way than your usual shoujo. That's one of the things that made me love this couple. **
Leading on, Teru and Kurosaki are honestly one of the most believable couples out there. During the whole of the manga, you can see their relationship get stronger and stronger because of such situations. I can say the same to the main characters too. Teru has an amazing character development and so does Kurosaki, they learn to trust.
I especially love Akira. The things he went through were dark and it added a nice mature twist to a shoujo.
All in all, some of the best characterisations I've ever read.
The story is confusing as hell at times. It's intricate and interesting but I can see how some say it drags on and gets boring. There are a lot of sharp turns and things jump from one way to another quite quickly and I had to go over some chapters again to try and figure out what the story was trying to say. The explanations are wordy and use terminology that I didn't understand but in the end, it's worth it to understand.
I gave it a solid 10 although I do have to say,
the ending was super cute with the foreshadowing of the baby but it felt a little unfinished? Like I wanted to know what actually happened with their relationship after Teru left high school?
And more fluffy romance scenes would have been nice. Anyway serious review over my god imdying I love them so much.This manga,,, this manga left me in a pool of feels and tears. It's one of those reads you can't get over and you wish never ended ugh. I love. Kurosaki and Teru. What am I going to do with my life now
