It has this mature, almost depressing vibe at the start, but it lightens up near the end. Honestly a great read despite its dramatic clichés. The author has a splendid way of demonstrating changes in character and emotion through their art. Poetically and beautifully, the story is just such a journey. The characters are multifaceted and change over the course of said story, and it just makes for an incredibly immersive manga. Ngl I teared up when he said “You’re my Tokyo in April” LIKE WHAT what an absolute banger of a line. will re-read for sure one day

help the art is genuinely so good. i freaking love it! i’d say it’s the hallmark of this manga. this is definitely mostly echhi but it also seems to have another, deeper plot lying underneath all the weird fetish stuff. frankly hilarious (and embarrassing) read

This was a quick, pleasant read. Although, like others have said, it was lacking in certain aspects. The plot and characters for example. It all felt very predictable and one dimensional. Generic and cliché, but cute. I liked their dynamic even though it wasn’t particularly unique. Decent read.

Ughhh i already love this! the art is fabulous and they're too cute. i love the pacing as well. they start off as friends and then slowly develops into something more….

they’re surprisingly very cute! i like fujie’s straightwordness and honesty and how he goes well with the “playboy” haruki. the author managed to turn a cliché plot into something rather refreshing. i’m a big fan of their communication, and their dynamic is fun! apparently there’s a pseudo-incest couple here but i don’t remember that lmao

The start was kinda rocky, but I gradually got into it. I liked the slow pacing, which seemed to mirror real life. This had a very natural relationship progression to the extent that I even grew fond of the side characters… Loved their dynamic. The romance aspect was VERY subtle, but it’s there with their touchy-feely moments. This is an enjoyable slice of life manga with coming-of-age themes!

Theater acting in a high school setting. I liked the themes of youth, friendship, yada, yada. it just felt a little cliché and generic. the characters aren’t particularly unique, and they’re lacking. practically only three characters are memorable. aside from the acting aspect, you could treat this like any other shounen manga. wow, they’re selected to go to nationals in the end…. yipee ig? had promise, but the execution ultimately underwhelmed me.

Excellent manga! Even though the MC isn’t an actress herself, this still manages to be very moving. As a scriptwriter/director, she has her own struggles. It was very enjoyable and also inspiring to see her overcome those struggles and achieve success. Her character was refreshing bc of her honesty and passion. Her character development is no joke. I liked the emphasis on the entertainment industry and theater, and I didn’t mind that the romance subplot took the backseat. The acting was portrayed very well, too (by the art)! Characters Touya and Fujinosuke left impressions on me. Overall, a satisfying read, but I agree that it was a little anticlimactic with not much conflict.

If you go in expecting the harem, it’s not bad. His relationships with the female leads feel surprisingly down to earth. No ecchi (for now). The art is quite good (they make my favs, Ed and Jikkes, look too cool). The side characters all have their respective roles. They’re not just there; each plays a role in the story. The writing and dialogue is pretty good. The MC is kinda unique to me because he’s self sufficient! He was ousted from his house, but he survives in the Northern Forest. Better than average harem manhwa.
