Very pessimistic plotted manga overall. I couldn't follow much of anything that happened nor do I want to recall it all. I'll give it a four at the highest.

Disappointing ending.
I read the first volume long time ago. It looked promising.
Now that second volume is completely scanlated I decided to re-read the whole thing.
This manga leaves uncomfortable feeling that you are an outsider. First volume was better because actions were logical and you could understand the reasons behind actions. Second volume confuses and leaves you wondering "Why the **** would he/she do that?!?!?!".
Meh...

Not that I'm a fan of tragic romance, contrived or not, I'm neither someone who enjoy all the rainbows, sunshine and all things fabulous in a story. As the story progresses, I'm half waiting for the male protagonist to come out of his shell for the sake of his love interest. But he didn't, it's consistent with his personality. Even as she gave reasons to the break up, reasons where she herself find it hard to justify, he stood there merely acknowledging it. Is it a case of finding it hard to express their thoughts with words, or simply being tired of the r/s.

The female lead explains why her life turn out to be such a 'mess' but failing to address why she choose to let him go. We are left with ' I want all kinds of things but when I got them, I threw them away.' My guess is the fiasco at school when her S&M hobbies and nude photos are shown publicly took a toll on her despite her best efforts to stay positive. Perhaps when she questioned her initial desire of experiencing something new, she don't see herself worthy of his love.

Shit happens, nothing get really resolved. The portrayed of emotions, insecurities and melancholy strike a cord with me. Sometimes, fate can be such a tease.

It was sad how it ended, though not entirely. Still, it was strangely satisfying - probably for what you pointed out.

I liked this manga. But it was short.

And I liked the tragic stuff. As well.

Pretty much .. the girl needed pain or pee..

And main character just couldnt give that to her.. and/or didn't even try..

But it was too short meh..

sad ending, but that's part of what i loved about this manga - realism....really captured the way most romances just fad away, sometimes for no reason - also, some of the best art i've ever seen of the female form - Tamaoki-san is an amazing artist!

Too be frank, this manga felt disconnected. You didn't really get to know them or develop any kind of connection between you and the characters.....

Though it is that kind of realism which gives you that feeling how you just meet someone and they fade into the background with no emotions attached or connection with them.

Was pretty average/fair.

Lacked content. The romance was kinda forced, it just happened that their first time was with each other.

Sooo why is everyone acting so irrational and without reason in the second half!? Why did the main chick ditch school, if it was for the scandal around the photo, she could have just changed schools, why did that other bitch expect of the mc something without asking him first and why did they have sex, given that he is in a relationship. And how did she become like that at the end like wtf! Was that her job as a cosplayer the whole time?
The only likable character was of the other m, who was the most down to earth of them all. At least the character have some sort of personality and weren't copy pasted from cliche character tropes, which made them feel like actual people. Overall this manga was not an enjoyable ride and at least the characters moved on
