It is about childhood friends becoming lovers. The girl is head over heels for him and is aggressive in making him her future husband. The guy is a kuudere (who doesn't like them?). He hides his feelings about her, and it's now in our heroine's hands to make him succumb!

Absolutely cute! It makes me squeal and puts a stupid smile on my face!! It's chill, soft and so wholesome. The art is beautiful!! The characters are so pretty and uniquely drawn, too! The male lead is *chef's kiss* Unfortunately, it's too short! Why? I ask. Why? *sobs*

I feel like I'm high on serotonin and endorphins. ... As I write this, I'm still beaming. I call this after-effects. It's too cute! Why are you still here? Go read already!

It's a short, kinda cute romcom about childhood friends.

My main issue with this manga is that the characters are absolutely unbearable. The female lead is extremely narcissistic while the male lead is completely emotionally unavailable. The saving grace is that by the end he makes up his mind and starts somewhat reciprocating (although half-assedly) her love, and since the manga is really short it doesn't take much time to reach that point.

The story is really simple, nothing too deep, but seeing the female lead fawn over the male lead was pretty entertaining.

I really liked the art, which I didn't expect. Personally I'm not a huge ... fan of the typical shoujo art style, it's a bit too dazzling for me, those sparkly eyes can be distracting, however this manga has a really balanced art style which sets it apart from the rest. You can definitely tell it's a shoujo, especially the male lead looks like the typical shoujo guy, but it's not super stereotypical. This might be a negative if you're a fan of the typical shoujo art style but for me it's a positive.

Overall I really didn't like the first four chapters as it was frustrating having to put up with the female lead's arrogant behavior and the male lead's dismissive behavior, but the last few chapters weren't too bad.
