Opinion:
This series is so much fun and feels like a really different dynamic than I’m used to. I can see it’s not everyone’s cup of tea though.

The art I think is pretty basic. I will say I love the heroines design and her fashion sense. There are a lot of really well-drawn “doki doki” moments, which is so important because they aren’t allowed to have those moments throughout the whole plot.

The plot is so funny, genuinely belly laughs and over the top in a way that reminds me of Takane and Hana. But unlike that series it’s refreshing to see a couple that is genuinely into each other but have external forces keeping them apart.

I love how passionate the heroine is, very golden retriever coded with her neurodivergent-coded boyfriend. The only draw back I think is most of the sources of conflict in the series is the male lead putting in a lot less effort than the heroine even though he is trying his best in his own way. Most of the plot points end with the heroine crying and the male lead apologizing for the misunderstanding/miscommunication.

If you enjoy a laid-back, light-hearted high school comedy this is a really fun read.
