This is probably the first romcom manga I've read that bloomed from such ordinary circumstances. Normally there's a gloomy guy who meets a popular girl through some incident or maybe because of some secret a girl and a boy get together, all of these stories are pretty similar to each other. Though this one is different. Makoto and Sakurai's love blooms such differently that this manga gives the feeling that love can be grown from simple circumstances. The male protag is pretty normal, not a gloomy otaku or any used niche like that. The female protag might be one that is seen in many teasing ... types of romcom like Yancha Gyaru no Anjou-san or Teasing Master Takagi-san, but even her character feels fresh and a heroine that you will come to love (atleast I did), maybe not as much as waifu but to a limit that you will like her personality, she doesn't come out as annoying, or extremely sl*tty for love. She isn't scared to express her interest to the male protag.
Now if we talk about the art style, I'll give it 7/10. Many readers might've freaked out over the smile of Sakurai in the early chapters but that is no reason to say the overall art quality is bad. It is pretty good and really makes it engaging with the story. I read every chapter with interest and didn't get bored in any of them because the art and story both is good.

Overall, I'd say this is a really good read, the time I'm writing this, there have been 25 chapters released and I think that it is going to end soon, from the way the story is going forward. I am guessing that maybe this one is getting axed as I can see in some places that says the story might've been rushed, but I am satisfied though and I do look forward to more works by this author/artist.

This is the review up until chapter 3 of the light novel and not the web novel. There might be spoilers here as well >_<
I've read tons of NTR, from you-know-where and when I heard about this, I was reluctant at first because NTR is just depressing and ruins most of my day. But after some time I decided to give it a try and I have to say, I've enjoyed it. Like, it's satisfying to know that the guy who's being NTR'ed thinks to do something and not just stays blankly without even saying a word about it.
The characters are pretty interesting as well, ... though in three chapters I have yet to come to support the mc, Yuu Isshiki, for now. I know it's still early but as far as I can see, a lot of stuff might be happening because of him as well. But the bad guys, in this case, his girlfriend, Karen, and senpai, Tetsuya, with whom she is having an affair, have a character personality that you might really come to hate as well. Like, Karen is all cutesy type of girl who wants to have dates with more "chic" and that cute personality that we kind of love in normal romcoms, is pretty annoying here and you just want to say "f*ck off, girl!". The same goes with Tetsuya as well. He's a handsome and smart guy with pretty twisted thoughts that I think are better to see in person in the novel rather than me saying cuz I won't be able to explain properly, lol.
Kouko senpai is the best I'd say, I think she's gonna become the main pillar for the changes in Yuu's personality and thinking. It's seen pretty clearly in these few chapters that I've read right now. Kouko is a person that you don't really see a lot in these types of stories and plots and for me, this was kind of refreshing and really cool as well. I wish I could elaborate more but this is my first time reviewing and I dunno how to really explore deep into a character but this is how I felt when I read for the first time and said this in words.

tl;dr, I think it's worth a try, the story's interesting, and the plot has many things that are about to be fun from what I can see right now after reading three chapters.
