As an avid romance manga lover I couldnt believe there was a gem out there I hadnt found out about theres a bunch I havent read yet but I do know of their existence. I saw this in a review video I wont mention just in case and decided to give a shot after hearing many good things and reading the same in that videos comments. Following that I gotta say I was a bit disappointed. The writing was meh most of the time with characters needing to lie hide stuff or jump to conclusions in order to drive the plot which is an automatic lazy writing characteristic in my book.
I can see how if this is one of your first romance mangas you can get hooked cause it has that good keeping you engaged situations with fun accidents and interesting side characters. But as for plot its just another typical dumb clueless protagonist archetype I might be being a bit too harsh hes not stupid its just hard to explain his decision making based on assumptions is horrible falling for every scheme and dumb conclusions he can think of this guy literally cant be more impatient. Instead of solving situations in a logical sense even for a 1517 year old he keeps assuming and assuming and acting based solely on his assumptions. Theres only so much as a reader that you can take. Its absolutely ridiculous.
It is basically held together by love triangle situation after love triangle situation. A lot of times actually making you think the protagonist should really just go for the other girl beause hes definitely too insecure to be with the female lead. And the female lead on the other end does basically everything thinking of him which is dumb even sacrificing her career at the end when you know shes only unhappy because of how its hurting her relationship with him. She would actually be fine otherwise with a little grinding on her part. Instead she keeps getting cheated on and conveniently never finding out and trusting this dumbwit blindly and thinking her happiness will be with him. Honestly it wouldve been better to have them actually get together a year sooner instead of just at the end of high school because that way they couldve develop a better system which wouldve make the ending with her sacrificing everything for him a bit more believable. But the way they went about it you know in real life they wouldve just broken up and then spend a few months grieving and that was that theyre still super young people get over stuff at that age in short periods a year or 2 at most.
If youre an avid romance manga reader youll find it meh okay at best lots of the secondary characters were way better than the protagonist and his proper growth doesnt really keep up with the situation hes always behind in the character development department and that gets annoying. The artstyle is fantastic though
