Hoshi to Kuzu - Don't Worry, Be Happy
Both leads are ambitious and seem to like each other equally. I think what’s particularly interesting about this one is that the male lead is clearly interested her early on in the story, and expresses those feelings in a cute manner (clearly blushing as opposed to slightly red ears or adamant denials). It is also interesting that both characters acknowledge feelings for the other person early on, the female lead explicitly stating her feelings (as the manga is from her perspective). What’s nice is that she also doesn’t turn into a sap because of this acknowledgment — she still thinks he’s petty sometimes and teases him. That is true of the male lead as well, though we haven’t really seen him talking about his feelings to someone, since the manga is not from his perspective.

There was no angst, which was nice, but tbh...I kind of wish the other guy was the seme. Or that they were a reversible couple...
