Synopsis

Yuuki and Natsuha are childhood friends who live in the same apartment complex. Due to their intimate bond, there are constant rumors of the two going out together. Nonetheless, their time in high school is on the brink of ending, and they both expect to graduate without a romantic partner—that is, until Yuuki suddenly suggests they start dating!

Despite the abrupt shift, their long-lasting friendship swiftly turns into passionate love. With college on the horizon, Yuuki and Natsuha only have a few months left together. Having missed many past opportunities to share their affection for one another, the couple resolves to quickly understand their new relationship in order to make the most of what remains of their high school romance.

I really liked this series to be honest. The story itself is a fluffy childhood friends romance that while is slightly shoujo, can still be enojyed by both demographics. The romance is also ever so slightly more mature/realistic than usual childhood friend romances.

Art 8/10: Very cute, yet pretty standard. It's not super cutesy tho, which I think adds positively towards the mood. Like most other twitter manga, this series is also digitally drawn, if anyone cares.

Story 7/10: Nothing amazing, just childhood friends who become a couple shortly before their graduation from high school.

Characters 8.5/10: This personally was the selling point for me. While the lead ...

Honestly, this one was a little disappointing. It wasn't bad in any sense but it was a whole bunch of nothing burgers to me. The reason this gets a 7 is because there is not a lot to fault at it but not a lot to enjoy in this too.

Art 9/10: This art style is cute. I personally loved it, the character designs were ...

Preliminary (31/? eps)
Would you like to read about a childhood friendship, or, more befittingly, a childhood relationship, in the most reproachable sense of this word? Clearly, all good-will is absent from it, thus rendering void the very name of friendship. Not only is it destitute of that zeal, but even of any constancy or blamelessness. If it were a ridiculous gag comedy, I'd like. But in spite of this, the story reads more like a shoujo manga in which our heroine quite likes not only to abuse the patience of, but even to threaten with her words the one who should be worth ...
