No matter how many times I reread this, it always feels like the first time. The author is so good at laying out important points in the plot in the limited number of chapters. Short and sweet, so they say.

Yoshida and his superb emotional intelligence is probably my most favorite thing in this story. Dare I say, he is such an important character that helped the two come together. So important that with a simple, "Is that really how you feel?" he was able to enlighten Midori about the feelings he is not ready to face. Then again, despite knowing Midori's feelings and apparent denial, he is not the type of character that pushed bot MCs to come together, instead he allowed them, Midori especially, to live the realizations on their own, but was also the first to congratulate them when they finally got together. I love his character so much because it's how it should be. I feel that I, as a reader, would secretly hope for a quick solution that would end the suffering of the characters. Then again, if Yoshida was a character that represented me as a reader, then I'm glad I did not interfere, and was patient. Because their love is as bitter as it is sweet with or without external competition or pressure.
