I don't write reviews, but I feel like this manga deserves more attention.

Story - 9
Like everyone else has stated, on the surface level this is very similar to other teasing manga like Takagi-san and Nagatoro. But in my opinion, this one outshines the others in many aspects. First of all, there is actual progress being seen at a good pace. While it is a Slice of Life, time actually progresses and you get to see the characters grow and change as they experience more. The romance does move and we also get to see the motivations behind it, now they aren't extremely deep and nuanced ... initially, but there seems to be continuous development as characters get to know one another.

Overall: I love seeing the characters change and improve as they make mistakes, experience more, and actively try to do things that they may not be comfortable with at first. It's a Slice of Life, but represents life a lot more realistically in regards to development.

Art - 10
If you can't tell from the cover, the art is gorgeous. Not only is the art amazing, but the fashion styles drawn are crazy good. The ecchi scenes are drawn beautifully and my love for this art might make me biased for this manga compared to others.

Overall: I can't get enough of the fashion and art style. The suggestive panels are God-tier (no I didn't read this for the ecchi, but I sure enjoy it).

Character - 9
In my opinion, the characters are very realistic, with a few exaggerated points for comedic effect (or something). I have seen real people, encompass many of the traits of the characters in this manga, even me. Many knock on the denseness of the MC, but in all honesty, I find that to be quite realistic. Due to the MC's social ineptness, it's hard for him, in the moment, to really know what's happening. The teasing doesn't add to the understanding. The MC hasn't experienced enough social interaction to catch these 'obvious' signs so his denseness is justified.

Overall: What I love the most about this manga, is that the characters all have their clear strengths and weaknesses and support each other with their strengths. They all seem to recognize their own short comings, or at least realize when they make a mistake. It changes them for the better and I'm loving it. One guy is a bit creepy though (but I've met similar). Would like to type more about each character but don't want to spoil and type an essay.

Enjoyment - 10
It was too cute to stop reading, I had to binge it.

Overall - 10
- Gorgeous art
- Good plot pacing
- Realistic characters who actually grow like real people and have goals
- (I don't care too much about this) Justified reason for liking people
- A lot of fun to read the characters having fun
- Romance has development (but they're basically dating anyways)

I know I can't do this manga justice, but it's actually such a wonderful story. I don't know how long it will last, but I'm riding along for the journey.

Edit: Also the mom is hot
