One of the biggest themes in this manga is the sense of not being a burden. It's kind of a thing Japanese are a bit known for; doing things more for the greater good and not for self-interest. A lot of the characters suffer from over doing this. I wouldn't say the manga is tackling this issue, but it is a big driving force behind the plot and way it is progressing at an annoyingly slow speed.

Other than that annoying bit the story is typical but cute, flashbacks are appropriate, the facial expressions... holy shit 200/10 just great always add a nice comedic break to the seriousness. The art does seem more Korean webtoon like to me so sometimes I accidentally read left to right but it's still really nicely done.

does anybody know what happend to author ?

What happend to author ? This manga has been on hiatus for 3 YEARS!! I dont know what happend, like i looked to the authors twitter but she stopped posting in 2019 so there is no information about ehat happend. I looked to the comico.jp which is the official website that kakao%79 releasing(i guess released now) but it say hiatus there too and they didnt say anything about the manga in their twitter and Facebook like what happend why nobody knows the reason for 3 years of being on hiatus? I cant find anything about the author. She doesnt post anything like literally anything. Is she dead or in a situation that she cant continue anymore? But if that was the case then why is it still on hiatus everywhere and on official website too? Wouldnt they update the manga as complated cuz of the situation of author? Or wouldnt they give us the information about the manga and the author? Like what is this its so annoying cuz i thought this manga was finished and started it again cuz of that. The first time i read this manga was like 5 years ago or something so i wanted to re read it but what the hell is this ? All i found is unfinished, still waiting for update and no update for 3 years! Manga. This was a amazing romcom manga and probably the best romcom i have ever read. Why would they stop like suddenly it was on 262 chapters already if u wanted to finish the manga then u could do that by adding 10 more chapters like its already 262 chapters its too many chapters man, nobody would say anything if u would end it by adding 10 more chapters. If anybody knows what happend to the author and why is it on hiatus for 3 years, PLEASE TELL ME OR I CANT GET THİS OUT OF MY HEAD FOR THE REST OF MY LİFE!!!!

Refreshing!

Even though this manga doesn't offer so many new elements, the way in which they are presented is really a unique one. Characters are the selling point of this manga in a way that MC, even though they are a bit slow, since the beginning have strong bond and deeply care for each other. In a high school setting we are reading how they slowly convert from best friends to lovers and it is done in an excellent way! But the basis for their love relationship is set in their middle school and through flashbacks we can see how they have changed and how their feelings are starting to change. Another thing that i must commend is humor. You will literally laugh out loud in many scenes and even their facials expressions are done in a way you can not stop yourself from giggling. To summarize, i recommend this manga to anyone who appreciates non cheezy romance and great sense of humor.

So goddamn slow but the expressions man

So goddamn slow but the facial expressions and expressions of affections were oh so worth it. We know it, they know it, their families know it, their classmates know it, but the main couple bless their Japanese "I don't wanna be a burden" and "It can't be helped" hearts. If you wanna know when they truly and finally get together:

150+ chapters in. Strap in cuz you're in for the long haul on a track that goes around in circles istg. They confess and kiss multiple times, but either the main guy or girl (or both!) would be a dimwit and misunderstand the other person. And rightly so but still so frustrating. But would I reread it? Hell yeah, I'm a sucker for slow romances involving childhood friends. It's my weakness, and this one was hella cute. But warning: goddamn slow and hella frustrating sometimes. Also I'm not a big fan of some of the side characters and side stories like Ai-chan. Ai-chan's arc shoulda been short and finished with a hella long time ago. In the middle of a side story right now, and I can't wait until it returns to the main couple. Frustrations aside the main couple really grew on me.

slow and steady, but wonderful

by xdeLiiRiOus

I am writing this review based on 135 chapters and from what I've read so far, this is definitely worth a read. I love this webtoon so much as it spends a lot of time on creating a wonderful cast of multi-faceted characters. Each character has his/her own motivation for their actions, and 'antagonists' aren't really antagonists. The webtoon spends a lot of time explaining the intentions of the characters so the dialogue, action and events flow more fluidly. It feels realistic, and you can't help but be drawn into the world that Aoi Umi has created.

although it is painfully slow in the beginning, it definitely picks up and improve as the characters become more aware and understanding of their own feelings.

Super Duper Slow

Rating: N/A

I read a top 10 list that recommended this so I gave it a look. I don't mind shy characters, but eventually you have to get the courage to express your feelings to the other person or the Manga will turn stale. These are suppose to be high school kids, but they act like kindergartners when it comes to love. Then you thrown in a roadblock every time you think something comes close to happening and your back at chapter 1. One thing I hate about these web-comics is that they can go on forever.

Great read so far!

This is definitely a gem among the many webtoons/manga (different manga websites have referred this series to both). I am at chapter 45 right now and the series is still ongoing, so I will be stating my opinion based on what I've read so far.

The plot may not be very original, however, the way the story is presented is refreshing, interesting, and joyful to read. Character development is definitely there with the compliment of flashbacks to give a better sense of the characters' background compared to where they stand currently. I love the chemistry so far between the two main characters, where they both have their own problems, but work together in a sense, to get to a common ground.

Furthermore, serious scenes can turn into humorous scenes. This can really be be made possible through the characters' development and personalities. Aoi Umi also does a fantastic job with laying out appropriate outcomes to each encounter the characters have and giving the reader different perspectives to one situation. She does an excellent job drawing the character's facial expression... very funny. I was trying to search for the series on myanimelist, but they haven't given the series the attention it deserves... rather sad - props to baka-updates! -.The series is very enjoyable and I highly recommend one give this a try. I, myself, is looking forward to the upcoming chapters because it's only getting more interesting.

This is probably one of the mangas that I was reallyyyy proud of reading before this was a hit!!! It started with a rank of around 2800+ in a certain manga site, and around 4 chaps were released by then. It clearly had potential I was hoping for, and it did not disappoint me so far!!! This is a must read. I'll give this a 10 for now (will update the score once the manga is done~

Slow but worth it

by brandito

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

Yeah it takes its time but it never feels like it's wasting your time. TBH I would've hated reading this if I wasn't able to binge the first 150 chapters, but I love the main characters so much that it's fun seeing as much of them as possible. Also it's funny as hell and very self aware of how long its characters are taking to the point that some of the misunderstandings get so absurd they become comedic.

I loved the scene where Ayano is questioning her feelings for Ichinose, and Tendou, channeling all the hopes and frustrations of the audience, just angrily punches her in the face because OBVOUSLY she's in love with him and everybody except her knows it. It's stuff like this that makes you think "Oh yeah this story knows exactly what it's doing"

Ayano and Ichinose have such a natural and sweet chemistry that even watching them bullheadedly work out their emotions is fun just because of how genuine their friendship feels. Looking forward to seeing their relationship develop even further. Only problem is the flashback arcs tend to drag and the art starts out pretty ugly.

The slow burn will burn u out

by Anotherperson

Rating: N/A

(Tldr at end)I’m currently nearing 100 chapters read of this manga and normally this far in I’d just finish it but I think I’m gonna have to drop this one. Like i dont mind slow romances but the whole will they won’t they has instead of being dramatic has become stale. Honestly I don’t personally care too much for the main couple. Like it’s clear there gonna get together and I’m hoping they finally will. I just feel their romance is kinda meh. A lot of the side characters has lost their charm aswell. There is kinda a mystery going on and there are some interesting side characters but it just not worth the effort. I’m sad cuz this has so many good reviews but it honestly doesn’t have much going for it beside funny faces.

TLDR: at 100ch. Meh romance. Stale. Has a few interesting side characters and plot but not worth it imo
