Ah, where and how do I even begin? I don't read shoujo manga as often as I do BL and yaoi because most heroines tend to annoy the heck out of me, but Futaba didn't so little fujoshi me ended up reading all 49 chapters in one night, and slept at 5AM, with a million feels and a few teardrops in my eyes. Lol

This manga reminded me of Kdramas because of the usual tropes, but it was still pretty refreshing to read. The characters are flawed and human and ordinary, so they were in many ways relatable. I love that Futaba was mature despite her age. Actually, most of them were. I wanted to hate Narumi, but I could empathize even with her.

Even the side couples were interesting and loveable. Shuuko and Aya, especially. I love how their romance was saved for last. So fluffy! Yuuri seems like your typical cute maiden type of character, but she was mature and reliable and just an overall good person. Kou is the typical brooding, mysterious male lead with a darkish past, but he was also adorable and romantic that I couldn't help vouching for him even in the presence of a great guy like Touma.

Anyway, this is getting long. Haha. I just wanted to comment that this manga exceeded all my expectations and took me on a feels trip, which I haven't gone on in a while.
