+ coworkers to lovers! age gap of 10 years! very cutesy hehe
+ MC is nearing 40 so he wanted to make a bucket list that he wishes to achieve before reaching the said age ^^ here comes ML, being the knight in shining armor by helping MC in achieving those goals!
+ love love love their relationship :(( it might've seemed like a joke to MC, but ML really stood his ground and told him that he was serious about being his lover i also like how we got to see ML's pov as it showcased how he slowly fell for MC even before seeing the list !! he just used the list as an excuse or like a catalyst to jumpstart their relationship
+ all conflicts were properly fixed! communication i love how ML adores MC :< the latter always gets shy because he thinks that ML shouldn't treat him that way since he's already an "old man," but ML would always reassure him that age doesn't matter
+ idk if there's going to be a 2nd volume, BUT I DO HOPE SO !!! i want it to be filled with more fluff and domesticity the art is also amazing, as always hehe!

+ childhood friends to lovers !!! MC who starts to realize his feelings for his best friend (ML) after ML got a gf. one-sided pining :))
+ the events felt quite realistic. i like how we got to see how MC's feelings bloomed and how he only came to realize it because "something/someone" threatened their friendship (not in a bad way!)
+ i also liked how the ex gf was not villainized! she even became a vessel for ML to also realize his feelings for MC though, i would've liked it better if ML's feelings were presented slower since it all felt so abrupt. however, the ending sufficed for me since we got a time skip which showed how very much in love they are
+ the conflicts were also handled properly ^^ i think the whole vibe & scenarios were very fitting for the characters and setting the couple also had a very wholesome relationship <3
+ the art style is pretty cute! and i loved the MCs' dynamic between each other the bond of their friend group was also very heartwarming~
