This manga is so cute and is touches the topic of self-acceptance in a fantastic ways. The anxiety that’s shown and the struggles of these teenagers is a very real representation (at least in my experience). Self-acceptance is a huge topic in this manga, most characters all have problems with themselves that lead to various coping methods. Rintaros way of coping was giving up, changing himself and often isolating himself from those who deeply cared for him. Ayu struggled to accept herself. Often comparing herself to the students of Chidori as validation to reassure herself that she’s not as worse as her teachers claim the students from Chidori are.
There are a few more examples but it’s midnight and I have school in 7 hours and I’m sleepy so I’m keeping it short !
Great manga, definitely give it a read!
