Continuity at the start of the manga was a jumbled mess. Impossible to tell when/what was happening until the characters specifically said what they had done way later. This made it hard to grasp the situation from the start, and impossible to identify with either character, their feelings, and what they were going through when they ran into each other later at the kindergarten.
Directly after re-meeting, seme acts like a judgemental jerk, and then pure-hearted uke apologizes profusely for it (even though it's not his fault AT ALL), which is laaaaaame. Can this cultural/tropey thing please die already? Doesn't help that even though the seme had already written an apology in the diary, he stood there and let the uke embarrassingly humiliate himself verbally in front of him and everyone else when again, it wasn't even his fault.
Additionally, there is no chemistry between Raion and Kiri, which makes Raion's passionate dialogue in the later part of the manga super cringey. Raion in general seems to need a housekeeper more than a love interest, and since crybaby bottoms are often high-maintenance, may as well just hire someone instead.
Meanwhile, Kiri generates drama in chapter 5 for no reason whatsoever. This whole thing is just completely _forced_, and I could only shake my head while reading it. If Kiri is just going to run away from someone when they start to get serious for once, which is what he's always wanted if I'm not mistaken, then why bother dating at all? Nothing makes sense.
Ex-wife at the end comes to talk to Kiri, but states the situation change in such a vague way that Kiri gets the wrong idea. No one would talk like that in real life, and no one would be that intentionally ambiguous. Doubly so if she knew she was talking to her ex's new love interest, given she was more than ready to leave the situation.
To be honest, Taiga was a much better match for Kiri, and I found myself wishing chapter 6 was a fast forward to 15 years later where Kiri and Taiga are in a loving relationship, with Taiga's dad standing awkwardly over to the side rubbing the bridge of his nose with vexation since they both tapped that azz.
