This is a show to watch while eating, that's the best way I can describe it.
Each episode is filled with clever jokes and these 4 funny and compelling characters. It's a very light-hearted, sweet and wholesome anime, but we always get to see the thoughts of each character which are sometimes brutal or just completely different than the character acts. This aspect of the show is carried by the excellent voice actor performances, they switch the tone of their voice depending on the situation which is important in an anime that's all about secrets you want to keep.

It's a comedy through and through, not much ... happens, we just get to see their daily lives and the weird situations the characters are put in because they each have a ridiculous secret.

It's the type of comedy where one character is very obviously doing something weird and gets exposed, but all the other characters are too dense to notice and come up with the wildest excuses as to what just happened without realising the very obvious truth.
The characters have more than one trait defining them, they feel very complete and not as bland as other slice-of-life shows where it's just walking clichées. Even though there are tropes used, they're being mocked at the same time.


So watch this if you want to have a good and chill time with interesting characters, but also a bit of spice in terms of comedy!

"Our precious conversations" is very different from a lot of other shojo manga, it doesn't drag on it's premise, but sums it up quickly and moves on to other conflicts and characters. The story started out with the 2 protagonists getting to know each other, but halfway through the series it shifts to focussing more on the side characters and at the end of the series, the tone is very different compared to the beginning (it gets more serious and dramatic, but not too much) and finishes the story un a neat way.

The series let's you off with characters you want to see more of, ... but who were basically irrelevant in the first 4 volumes. You can really see that the artist changed their preferences midway through the series and decided to focus on other things than the "precious conversations" and it really works. As I mentioned before, the series is jumbled up and changes so much, you can tell that the artist just went and changed things as they were creating new chapters, but it actually works really well. Yes, it is a bit random sometimes, but I think what makes this series so different from other shojo manga, is that it doesn't fear change and flaws in its characters. The artist just does whatever they want and it's really amazing, you can see the jouney of the artist trough this manga and I think that's beautiful. i'd recommend this to anyone who wants to read a slice-of-life with romance, but also wants something new that doesn't drag on for too long.

This is what defines an almost perfect one-shot. It stands strong as it is, but at the same time you wanna read more and see more of these characters.

The story is bittersweet, it's very sad, but has that hopeful touch at the end. The story of course is predictable, but that doesn't make it any less good (mainly because it's a one-shot, there can only happen so much in 40 pages).

Triangle's best aspect is the pacing. The sweet moments made me feel more emotions than a lot of long-term series, this really is where this manga excels at.

You can easily sympathise with the characters, they ... are very realistic and don't do dumb stuff just for drama's sake.

Overall this is very refreshing, I'd also recommend this to anyone who liked Blue Flag, they have a similar vibe to them.

THIS IS NOT A GIRLS LOVE

There won't be any spoilers in this review :) I wasn't sure whether to give this a 3/10 or 9/10 score so here I go explaining what this series excels at and what it lacks.

Story:
The story is about 2 people in high school who try to understand each other and get along. So it's slice-of-life with a little drama to it.

Art:
Visually, this is absolutely gorgeous so although I gave it a low score, I'd still recommend reading it if you're looking for beautiful manga.

... Characters:
Now this is the main reason I decided to give this the low score of 4/10. I'm really no fan of characters who are so distant to their love interest/friend that you wonder why they even talk to them in the first place. So I don't like the constantly pissed-off and rude characters, that's basically it. If those characters are your thing, then go ahead and read it, although I don't think the characters overall are well-written, but that's just my opinion

Final statement:
I'm mad that this is advertised as girls love in bookstores and here on MAL (until recently) when it clearly isn't. There is already so few GL manga and it's so frustrating when you see something this beautiful and wait so long cause you think they're gonna get together in the end and then it turns out to just be friendship.
I hope this has been helpful to determine whether you're gonna wanna read this or not, thanks for reading :)

Woah I really underestimated this one! I only just bought it today and didn't expect much of it, but it was so good! I already read a lot of yuri series so I thought I'd be tired of all these highschool love triangles and I am, but this one's different. The author had a different approach to the subject.
Since they normally wrote more sexual stuff, this manga also wasn't all innocent like a lot of high school yuri mangas are (due to Japanese culture).
Also the art was beautiful with a lot of details in it, I really enjoyed that, I really can only recommend it!
I ... have to agree that the ending was a bit rushed, but I loved the outcome and really didn't expect that!

Overall I can only recommend this to shoujo ai/yuri lovers!!

It is a nice and cute manga about food and romance. The story is pretty good and the charcters are well defined.
HOWEVER the art just sucks. At the end of the manga I had to force myself to continue reading because it was just too painful to see. These enormous eyes and the mouth are just terribly drawn and the character's expressions are always the same, I seriously wonder whether the author just copy-pasted it. This was just so dreadful that it dragged the enjoyment down.
The romance part was fairly good tough, a lot of things happened you didn't expect to happen.
Also something else: There ... were far too many characters who changed from bad to good (I think it were like 5?) which were super unfitting and that really annoyed me.
Overall: I don't advice this manga to anyone who gives just the slightest amount of attention to the art when reading a manga.

I recommend this manga to every yuri/ girls love manga lover. Unlike many other shoujo ai manga, the characters in this piece are very well written and their actions are understandable. It's very refreshing to have a non-high school girls love story. Even the side characters are very interesting and I want to know more about them.
Also the art is amazing!! When I first saw the series at the book store I thought there are way to many speech bubbles and I wasn't really convinced to buy it. But later on I did anyways and I'm so happy about it since it has turned ... out to be one of my favorite series. It really looks amazing, the layout is just a bit confusing sometimes.
Edit: This has only gotten better and better with every volume. You almost never see characters who are so human and so real. It is so impressive how the author manages to set exactly the mood, the characters feel. Volumes 5 & 6 have a much darker tone, but the author does this in such a realistic way that's not edgy or cringy. These feel like real people from the real world, they just look 2D.

***THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS***

Underrated shoujo ai manga! The romance progresses very slowly though so if you're looking for a short and quick
love story, this one might not be the one for you. However, if you want to read a long, mature romance with realistic relationships this one's definetely worth reading!
The main and side characters are all well written and you can understand every of their actions, often also due to background/side stories. Their actions are very suitable to their age. They are adults and they act like adults do and that's fairly impressive writing.
One thing though: The story has some issues, for example in ... the first chapter Nanami splits up with her boyfriend which I think should've happened later so we first get to see how Kae and her realtionship to one another is. There's also not very much happening so far, there are a few arguments here, a few problems there, but it's hard to really tell what actually happens and how the characters develop. I'd recommend it to "advanced" manga readers, I wouldn't consider it very suitable for beginners

The art was horrible in the beginning, but trust me it gets better as the story continues. This manga is viewed very critically and it seems like a lot of people don't like it, but I actually do. I really liked the worldbuilding, Lucy as the main character and the relationship between Bandou and Mayu which was very flat in the anime. Overall it wasn't as horrible as many people say it is. Sure, a lot of characters are flat (Yuka was annoying af), but it still is a good manga because of the story and worldbuilding. At least that's how I think about it.

DO NOT READ THIS MANGA, ITS A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME
There is literally no plot whatsoever, this "I don't know whether she likes me, but she keeps seducing me all the time and then acts as if nothing has happened" goes on for the WHOLE STORY like it was so annoying at some point I just rejected so much I started this manga (I read it through to the end, hoping there would be a fascinating ending or something but nope)
The only halfway good thing was the art which was pretty decent. I think other than Hokaru who always had an enormous head everyone looked ... pretty good and special. The drawings were very mainstream though, but that's kind of expected in a shojo manga.
The worst part about this manga is Hokaru in my opinion. I was so pissed off by her since the beginning, but I was willing to give her a chance if she changed or if she had a understable reason for the things she did. But nope. We don't learn anything about her for the whole story, it was so damn annoying
