This manga is very good, just saying it rn for people who are curious, now i will say the details more down below.
Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet(Boarding School Juliet in English) is obviously inspired by Romeo and Juliet forbidden romance by Shakespeare, since not only the name of the main characters are Romeo Inuzuka and Juliet Persia, but bc overall their romance wasn't allowed in their dormitory since bc the dormitory was splitted between two groups that hated each other bc their respective countries having a recent war. Black Dogs from Touwa country X White Cats from the West country, these two being in the dormitory
...
of the Dahlia island.
Romeo being from the BD and Juliet from the WC, it wasn't too possible for them to build a relationship. But with their strong of will, through all of the manga they surpass everything that warms them to make this romance possible and to change the world by not making Touwa and the West hating each other anymore.
This being a rom-com and slice of life genres, we can ofc see some basic moments of life and comedy other than the main drama, such as they studying, talking normally and even goofy chapters that adds to comedy.
The characters are very neat. Romeo is a very strong-will being and a good person, this allowing to not giving up to his love; Juliet despite also being very strong, it's more rational than Romeo, but she accepts his confession to change everything and to be more strong. Both of them develop feelings and genuine love through the manga.
The side characters are very enjoyable too: Hasuki, Char, Scott, Maru and all the others add a lot of things to the drama, romance, comedy. it's very neat
The only criticisms i have is that the manga sometimes focus on comedy or drama so much, that some wholesome/romantic moments don't happen(like dates or kisses), they drag some romantic feelings to some side girls(like Teria) making some pointless chapters(not ruining the experience, just saying) and they could have explored the reason for the hate of the BD and WC and also the overall war, but in the end they don't make things explicit or didn't had a idea for a interesting drama and the resolving of the main drama.
But these are the only things that make this away from perfection, bc this manga is so fricking good, very worthing checking and re-reading
