I think overall this wasn’t a completely horrible story. At least not for a first time Mangaka. For me where it dropped the ball was how confusing Hara was about his feelings. He’s clearly interested in Ume and constantly thinking about him but still dated other people and refused to break up with them. I really didn’t understand that part and then he had the audacity to get upset when he found out the ume was sleeping with other people but didn’t vocalize it and instead took him home and slept with him. This should have been more of a turning point. I like that at the end the Mangaka tried to fix it by making Hara wait outside his house for one month even though he’s sensitive to cold so they could have a face to face conversation. What I think it lacked was hara needed to have a reason for having dated all those people, was he afraid of how society would view them or did he believe that if they never put a label on things they could stay together forever? Either way hopefully this mangaka makes more works because I need more of this art in my life
