Don't know why but I thought there no more then 24 chapter. As tradition want it, every high school Shojo romance formula should have an insecure FL, and that'll insecurity is directly related to how appealing she is to the other gender. ... BUT.... This one is making it it main focus so I'll see how it's going to go. Because ironically enough I was and still live the same critic as her. The story is very Shojo-y in a light way where all types of relationships end on a positive note. ____ Vol 1 : I thought that things were going slow, but no, FL realize she is in love with ML at the end. Which is fine, since it does kind of makes sense for FL to develop feeling twords ML who's playing a part in her getting out of the self-centered thinking process that social put her through. Vol 2: or rather the Acting Wired Arc, by the end of it they both confess their mutual feeling, it's all happening too fast. Vol. 3: is making me happy, I can't believe they omitted the "are dating or not" arc from the formula. Shit ! I was excited for nothing it happens in the first chapter. But still it's my favorite till now even though there's nothing much to say about it. It's cute and it flow is good too. Vol. 4: first kiss, it was all about kissing they both got to kiss each other on the cheek and it was so freaking cute, and even after their first kiss they needed to be mentally prepared to kiss more HHHHH Vol 5: was about her past and insecurity, with an ex friend/classmates but nothing more to say. Vol 6 : I really thought it was the final volume, this is about "league of bones" pale putting an end to his feeling for FL, the source of it and a closer to their friendship based on shared insecurity. Vol.7 : it wasn't the end, he was moving so the separation is unpreventable but they agree on being friends I guess. The story did the one thing I was happy it didn't do till now and that's inappropriate physical contact, the first time -kiss- it was to move the story forward but the second -kiss on the cheek- was pointless, making inappropriate behavior "cute" doesn't make it less wrong. Vol.8: Kayaaaa~ cuteness overload. ML made a cake for FL birthday, be didn't buy but made it with he's own hands, then the cuteness was ruined by the "first trip = first time" even though they didn't do it at the end. But it was a peaceful volume. Vol.9: now they're second year and all in the same class, ML childhood friends confess her feeling and wasn't a rival or a mean girls. Vol 10 : FL dad found out about the relationship but eventually approved of it for now as any respectable Shojo father should. And the FL BFF is struggling with her manga debut and FL don't know how to support her. Vol 11: the final chapter of this volume was heavy in emotions, ML id a very expressionist character a'd this was his first melancholic moment. Vol.12: focus more on ML and his personal struggle, he clarify his emotion with his dad and his future path, plus both leads agree on becoming teacher in the future. Vol.13 : I mostly scrolled it over, but it was good they strugglex a bit but everything worked out eventually, we even got a throw-forword to future and atybiti glimpse of everyone and it was so cute. _______ I still don't know why reading Shojo take so much time and is hard. I liked the story, it was interesting with potential but the cute characters had the biggest favor and making me enjoy it. Since the story was dragging at times

Oka~y, kind of interesting, and it's actually what the title sais it is. The sticky notes on the title panel that separate the two seasons, with the stickers and little drawings were such a nice addition that matched the general light hearted vibes of the work. I like how slow this was, like they had a very healthy relationship, from the Bottom crunching one sidedly and hoping for more development, to a confession to a separate to think things throu to realization, to the relationship blooming and once they're together it's about how to navigate it. Sweet, heartwarming and wholesome.
