This is a lovely manga with very wholesome vibes and adorable characters. The first volume tells the story of the two characters meeting each other, and the way they connect through their mutual admiration of each other's craft (baking and art). They both have some insecurities, which are shown in a nuanced and realistic way I enjoyed, and end up finding solace in each other's support. I really liked how suitably mature the characters are (they are all young adults) in the way they act and react to things going on in their lives and the lives of others around them. No drawn-out annoying "there ... wouldn't be a plot if they just talked to each other for five seconds"-type misunderstandings in this manga, which I appreciate.

So far, it's a very cosy story, complimented by the soft look of the art, and I really enjoyed it! The characters' facial expressions especially are drawn really nicely, and their emotions really resonated with me while I read the story.

I am excited to see how the story progresses in the next volume!

The first four episodes of this anime started out very character-driven, and I absolutely loved them. The characters are super interesting and I was immediately invested. However, after those first four episodes, the whole story got lost in a super convoluted plot that really mostly just confused me. It wasn't interesting and it had very little bearing on what I cared about until that point.

Overall, I was much more interested in the characters than the plot, and the characters barely got time to breathe from episode five on, which really wasted the potential of the initial setup.

That said, I still VERY highly recommend episodes one ... through four, and based on just those I would rate this anime a 10 across the board. I don't recommend watching the rest.
