Ambrosia's manga / #slice of life(63)

list - masterlist this was so romantic omg. it had an easy pacing but with delicious tension between the mcs and a lovely, realistic and believable falling in love. the feelings grow and bubble until they overflow. perfect amount of reaching out and restraint - the word i'm looking for is pining lmao. Kippei is soooo cute, the way he talks so straightfowardly and seems so strong and confident voicing his feelings, but he clenches his clothes with his fists and is just as nervous as anyone else would be while leaving themselves vulnerable by exposing their feelings. soft and fluffy - very minimal drama even with the cheating ex and unrequited love aspect. sweet and healing and delicious.

20+ This was surprisingly good! A slow paced slice of life story that just focuses on the daily lives of two high school boys and them getting to know each other as we get to know them. And before you know it you are completely wrapped up and invested in them! Sweet and endearing, well paced and well written. It has a bit of that nostalgic feeling, and very immersive in the high school experience. The strangers to friends to lovers story was very realistically told, and it felt as if I was learning their story rather than reading a comic. The characters have kind of opposite personalities, a friendly and popular guy and the introverted socially awkward one. But they are so much more than that, their characters were really nicely fleshed out with depth and nuance that made them feel very real. Tiniest bit of romance at the very very end, but at least we get a confirmation that they are a couple. 4/5
