Synopsis

In his final year of high school, Taichi Ichinose finds himself sharing a class with his popular childhood friend Touma Mita for the third year in a row. Meanwhile, Taichi is hesitant to interact with his shy and clumsy classmate, Futaba Kuze, despite seeing her as a reflection of himself.

However, after an encounter in the library brings them together, Taichi discovers that Futaba has feelings for Touma. Initially harboring doubts at the prospect, he decides to help her after she declares an emotional yet firm decision to change. As spring comes into full bloom, the three classmates find themselves in a relationship entangled by intricate emotions and personal conflicts while they navigate through an uncertain future.

A classic love triangle story with classic high school teenage drama surrounding it. Great character development and back story to drive the overall story to a good narrative. The only thing i'm not satisfied with is the ending of this story, it felt rushed, but besides that, it's a great manga and I recommend it to anyone who likes these types of stories.

The manga is fairly short but the pace is good enough to suffice a valuable story that shows the true power of friendship and showing that there is a difference between love and friendship no matter what gender.

Mixed Feelings
The story was a solid 10/10 for me. I have never read a manga before, that disscussed so many different topics young people like me grow up with, sadly some issues still remained unresolves till the end, but it was so good, i read it in one go.
What irritated me though was the ending. It was so rushed and so random, it was like getting splashed over with bucket full of cold water I did not like it AT ALL it didnt make any sense. Why would you write a manga with a good high school drama plot just to rush the ending?
I sadly got ...

I cannot put into words the disgust I felt reading the final chapters of this manga. It’s like putting your all into preparing for an exam and you shit on the paper. (Spoilers ahead) Every arc in this was so promising but it ultimately leaves you wondering “why did I read this”. My original rating for this was an 8 and now it stands at a 3 because so many plot lines are left unexplained, wasted or unanswered. The whole university arc meant nothing, Masumi’s feelings are ultimately wasted as she ends up with a guy, Taichi wanting to be best friends with Touma is ...
