I love this so much. The fact that i can see bits of myself in every of these characters proves that the characterization of this story is so good. Ik i do read some light cliche romance plots, but this one is just so realistic? Like in some romance, they always make these archetypes like omg look this guy is a delinquent who likes a good girl, but don't worry guys, as long as the girl is sunshine and rainbows, everything will be ok!
However, this story is different. Granted that Rintaro is not actually a delinquent, but the way the mangaka didn't mindlessly put archetypes on their character??? It should be a bare minimum but damn this reminded me of what a good story is. Yeah Waguri is a cheerful person, but we can see how that really impacts on other people. Like they don't make our main characters just go,
"Omg Male Character, i know you're actually a good person"
"Gasp babygirl, okay now i will be emotionally dependant on you like a borderline obsessive guy"
We can see how Rintaro slowly opened up and rekindled his spark. It was to the point when i re-read early chapters, i find it endearing to see how Rintaro used to be such a hesitant person.
Ughhh now i dread to see the day this story ends~
Also side note : The mangaka handles the expressions very well. Every time i see them smile from the bottom of their hearts, i can feel it omg. It's one of my favorite aspects of this manga as well
