I read this a couple weeks ago but I binged it in one sitting- it was pretty short and sweet! A lot of it isn't very memorable honestly but the premise was refreshing! I've never read a high-school based romance where the ML has a kid. I find it gross that clearly an older female took advantage of such a young student at the time but /shrug

The story delves into a lot of mature themes and topics, which I admire. I'm sick of all the hand holding uwu fluff we see in other young romances. There's quite a bit of character developments too, and I ...

Quickie Review: First Review to shout about how much I enjoyed this story; a short, quick read, AAAAAAHHHHH READ. THIS. MANGA. It's so cute!

Detailed Review: I discovered this manga by chance before I went to bed, and I had completed it the next day. Of course, it's not very long, but the point remains that I blew through it.

The characters are great. They start off as somewhat cookie-cutter, you can tell who's gonna be The Couple at first glance, but the story hits you with... not exactly twists and turns per se, but some unexpected bits and pieces.

The plot takes the high school romance aspect ...

I wanted to write a review for other readers like me. I'm a mid-30s woman who enjoys reading in general. I've read manga since I was a young teenager. Shojo is my guilty pleasure. In reality, I'm very jaded about romance, but I love the positive, fluffy, feel-good feelings that a well written shojo manga can inspire. But I'm also a fan of things like Berserk, Parasyte, Blame!, Gantz, and Tokyo Ghoul. I really, really enjoy twisted, gritty epics that cover deep philosophical and psychological topics. I started reading Inuyasha as a teenager when less than five volumes were out, but dropped it before the ... 30th volume because it got far too repetitive. I nearly finished Bleach, but also lost interest before the manga serialization finished for similar reasons.

If you can relate to any of that, this review is for you.

Story: Maybe it's just that I found the topics refreshing. I gave it a 10, because I know the target demographic isn't me. Knowing that, allows me to overlook common flaws typically found in shojo, so I'm not going to tell you about that. Instead, let me tell you about the things that stood out to me.

First: There is a happy ending! For someone like me, a shojo manga without a happy ending is a waste of time. I read shojo to warm my heart, not to feel depressed about life and not for gritty realism.

Second: The pacing. I figured a 5 volume series was probably going to have a lot of moments where I thought "Ugh! They're falling too fast, these characters are unrealistic." Basically, I assumed the writing would be heavily contrived and downright bad at least some of the time. I was pleasantly surprised. The pacing just cut out the extra unnecessary crap. Instead of going day by day, the story is told from the perspective of important moments. At some points, it's paced so quickly that if you blink you'll miss it. The pace was just right. The goldilocks of pacing

Third: I was surprised to find some of those heavy philosophical and psychological topics that I enjoy reading about. I wouldn't say they held the depth of a mature epic, but I feel like the main topics are addressed very well for the target demographic. Even better, they're uncommon and not overused by the genre.

Fourth: I'm usually not interested in the intense drama that springs from love triangles. The love triangles in this are handled quickly, without pointless drama, and take a backseat to character growth.

Art: I'm not an art snob. When it comes to art, the only thing I really concern myself with is whether or not it makes a story difficult to read. No difficulties here. It's standard. Nothing to rave about. Nothing that's difficult to look past. Nothing confusing.

Characters: I'm the kind of person who can enjoy a terrible plotline if the characters and their developments make up for it. These characters are interesting, and go through real growth. I could have enjoyed reading about their growth even if the story had been boring. The author did a good job humanizing them.

Enjoyment: I was really surprised here. I read this series straight through. The characters and their backgrounds caught my interest early on, and I was surprised at how quickly I found myself feeling for them. I'm not a fan of the crybaby heroines. Yet I found tears coming to my eyes over the first real heartache felt by the FMC. It didn't get repetitive or boring and left me with the good feelings.

Overall, it's not quite epic and intricate enough to rate as a masterpiece, but it is very good. If the target demographic was my age group, my scores for the story and characters wouldn't be nearly as high. But it's not targeted at me, and I knew that going in. This is the kind of story that I would have adored and couldn't get enough of when I was in the targeted age group. And of course, it also gets a higher rating because it more than satisfied my desire for a feel-good story. I'll buy this one if it's ever available in my country.
