I'm not going to lie... I wanted to give it a chance after reading the premise and the negative review. And I can't say I was disappointed. On the contrary, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it.
I don't normally read Josei, and if you fall into that category as well you might not want to jump in with this story. It is fun yet bittersweet, with seemingly random moments of comedy. In truth, the comedy is quite dark at times, highlighting the main character's flailing attempts at grasping adulthood.
For starters, the brief up top is not at all accurate, in my opinion. If

I couldn't relate in the slightest and I felt that the pace was too slow for me. The overall plot was pretty good, but I didn't feel a connection to it, so I dropped this manga. Art: The art...wasn't the most appealing that I've seen. It might just be my opinion, but ...

Overall I would give this manga a 7.5, if I read this back in high school, I would think it was trash and weird. But as an adult, I actually liked it a lot.
This manga is a josei, and it hit hard at some points. The author truly understood how complex and confusing our feelings and actions are, especially when it comes to love. All the characters are so annoying but only because they're filled with flaws, you wish they could see their mistakes and immaturity, but you also realize that they're human.

This is another one of those quick manga that you can read in a few hours that I do think is worth josei/romance fans time. The characters are a bit frustrating, but not in any way that I haven't seen or behaved like myself in real life. It deals with jealousy, the cycle of abuse, and toxic relationships (both the high highs and the low lows) in a straightforward way just through character behaviour and their inner thoughts, which I definitely identified with. There are some really nice moments of good communication between couples, but also a lot of instances where those communication skills go
