I didn't expect to like this so much, but between the adorable and expressive art, the sweet and interesting storyline that uses cliches in a way that isn't annoying, and the admirable character growth, I was hooked!
I admit I was iffy because I remembered not liking Moe Kare when I was younger, but it's very sweet, though admittedly dramatic and sugary at points. I wonder if I should reread moe kare lol!
