♥miapia♥'s manga / #School Life(3)

4/6/21 8/9/24: students who want to be ranked number 1 in the school. kurihawa who tries his hardest for the spot but is always ranked number 2. he holds resentment for kawase who always ranks number 1. for that reason, he doesn’t like kawase. kurihawa barely eats in order to study and gets nervous whenever he tells his parents he ranked 2 again. kawase notices how pale and malnourished kurihawa is so he begins to befriend him, kurihawa wants no part in it. slowly tho he becomes used to kawase’s presence and learns more about him and even visits his home. there he realizes that kawase actually tries really hard to maintain his ranking and overall trying to do everything. kawase tells kurihawa that he should tell his parents how he actually feels about studying and the reason he does is so his parents won’t be disappointed and so they can praise him instead. he does tell them and it’s been a misunderstanding from his parents and him so now he’s not gonna try as hard in studying like he used. kurihawa also finds out that kawase lost his dad and understands more why he studies so hard, he needs a grant to enter university. plus a huge weight was added on his shoulders whenever his dad passed so he felt the need to step up in his household. hence why he cooks dinner for his sibling twins. overall cute story.

4/9/21 8/7/24: very sweet manga. yudai is so precious and i’m glad kakeru had someone like him in his life. it’s sad that kakeru felt the need to hide his feelings and move away without telling his two best friends. overall it’s a good ending and yudai finds his way back to kakeru. the friendship between yudai and ryo was also cute and i’m glad their friendship didn’t sour after yudai told ryo everything - how he had feelings for him and the things that happened with him and kakeru during high school - and remained friends :))
