I honestly really love this manga, usually with most shoujos I'm always left with a bitter feeling but with this despite how much I got close to disliking it, I just couldn't in the end. I feel like all the characters are very realistic like Futaba unlike most shoujo heriones she realised that Kou was an ass and decided to actually try get over him but realistically it's not that easy to wake up and be like "today is the day I will completely get over my first love and move on with my life" like no. Her efforts to get over him showed however that she's not gonna spend her life wallowing in self pity over some guy rejecting her. She has support and love from her friends which was honestly so sweet and before people start saying "didn't she basically lead Touma on" no she did not. Futaba stated from the start that she has lingering feelings for Kou and Touma was well aware of this, he knew from the start how she felt but he still pushed his feelings on her now I'm not saying I dislike Touma or anything cause he's amazing to be honest. Futaba did start a relationship with him and I can't exactly this is alright considering she still loves Kou but realistically a lot of teenage girls try to move on from past loves by moving on to another, I mean who knows maybe if Kou didn't try and win back Futaba, she may have fell in love with Touma as times goes on. Another thing I liked was how for once the guy actually tries to win back the girl AND get this he even realises his mistakes ALSO their friends actually tell him that he's a dick and should stop doing stuff half-assed. This was a shocker, I swear in most shoujo mangas the herione is always the one in the wrong or she's the one that has to force her feelings on the guy or she should be the one trying her hardest like no for once the guy needs to step up and do shit instead of letting the herione do everything. Anyways this all my personally opinion but yeah this was a good manga, much better than the anime. (▰˘◡˘▰)

    That's what I like about Sakisaka Io.. she's creates her characters reallistically.. most of shoujo manga female heroine are very vulnerable and stupid to start with..
