This is as enjoyable as a feel-good, slice of life manga can get.
Sure, it's a bit shallow, but who doesn't love a puddle to splash once in a while?

One notable element is that it's in the josei genre, capitalizing on realism and adult (but not necessarily erotic) relationships. These are people in love, but they are adults with jobs and brains. Unlike many in the shoujo genre, they resolve miscommunications by, cue drum roll, communicating. And no one's a jerk masquerading as a misunderstood bad boy, which is greatly appreciated.

It can get cheesy at times, especially with the main couple. A lot ... saying that someone's cute and all that. If you want something more substantial but slice of life, go somewhere else like Wotakoi. However, that isn't as cute and romantic as this. You win some, you lose some.

The characters can be basic, but they feel like real, well-rounded people. Their story arcs aren't as life-altering or transforming compared to high school, but that's because they're developed. You know, adults who are ready for a relationship.

The plot is simple enough for a slice of life manga. If you want over-arcing storylines, go to Avatar or something. It still keeps you interested, but it's not casual than anything else.

Anyway, humor: top-notch and light. Characters: some are basic and a bit cheesy, but they're used well. Morals: not preaching per session, but it values time being put into a relationship, getting along, and developing as a person.
No one will probably find this review, but hell. Enjoy!
