So sweet and wholesome!

This is one of the loveliest mangas I've read. I'm up to Chapter 60 and the two main characters are so cute and genuinely likeable. And they communicate like sensible people! If they have issues or questions they ask each other and talk things out. It's so refreshing to have such a healthy relationship instead of all the manufactured drama that wastes so much time in other stories. The art style is great too, very comforting and pleasant to look at. A firm favourite, and a whole-hearted recommendation!

Refreshing Title In a Sea of Shoujo Manga

I absolutely am in love with the story, character development and personality of the leads. Both Mamoru and Tsubaki are endearing and realistically portrayed. I can't wait to see their development together. ❤ The art style is also very attractive. I would love for this story to be animated someday. Also I hope the manga will continue! Thank you for giving us such a wonderful story!

Two Introverts Find Love

They say opposites attract, and, in fiction, this is usually exemplified by an extrovert-introvert relationship. This isn't the case here, though. Both characters are introverts, but their introversion is expressed in radically different ways. The male lead is a man of few words, but is very comfortable in his skin; the female lead, on the other hand, struggles to be with other people, as well as deprecating herself. It's a sweet story of a girl learning to love herself, as well as find love in the process.

Wholesome and cute

Love how cute and wholesome this manga is. The FL is quiet plain Jane and the ML is tall dark handsome and “mysterious” he not much of a talker. ML is not easily influenced and does his own thing. FL really likes that about him, where as she’s the opposite doesn’t want to get in people’s way, she’s easily influenced and would rather not be noticed if she did t have to.

This is a manga that I would reread over and over again when I want something cute.

With so much “sexy” manga out there. This manga is a breath of fresh air.

Main character is beyond annoying

The degree to which the main character is incapable for speaking for or thinking of herself is beyond annoying. It isn't sweet or admirable that she never challenged herself and then some dude makes it so that she literally never has to suffer the consequences of her inability to advocate for herself. I know there are many shy teenagers who struggle to speak for themselves, but part of growing and reaching adulthood is learning to speak up for yourself. I feel so frustrated watching her never learn from things or try to grow. She's stuck in her mindset and her ways and the narrative supports that as 'just how she is'. In reality, adulthood will require her to decide when she should and shouldn't speak up, and simply deciding to never do it, never try, never phrase things awkwardly or make a mistake, means that she's much more likely to snap or build resentment later and say something very badly or that she doesn't mean. All the way to chapter 5 and no character growth at all.
And her friend with the spectacles (the content monitoring won't let me say the more common word for spectacles lol) is so negative.

うん、羨ましい

Yeah, I envy you

丁寧な青春な描写に、引き込まれました。こんな学校生活に憧れる。もう無理だけど、羨ましい限りです。椿が自分の気持ちや他の人の気持ちをゆっくりだけど考えながら生きているのが素敵だと思いました。もう、大人で初老の私だが、椿から見習う事は多いです。

I was drawn in by the careful depiction of youth. I admire this kind of school life. I can't do it anymore, but I'm envious. I thought it was wonderful that Tsubaki lives slowly but thinking about her own feelings and the feelings of others. I'm already an adult and an elder, but I've learned a lot from camellias.

続きが気になります

I'm worried about the continuation

この世代特有の女子の感じがよく出ていて、良くも悪くも懐かしさを感じます。2人の仲の進展具合もゆっくりで好きです

The feeling of being a girl unique to this generation often comes out, and I feel nostalgic for better or worse. I like how the relationship between the two progresses slowly

69話まで読みました

I read up to episode 69

This review contains spoilers. 五十嵐くんもそりゃかっこいいのだが、今井さんのキャラクターが稀有だよ。いないよ。これは普通の女の子のガワを被った超芯のある子だよ。変わろうと思って実際行動できるってなかなか、なかなかおらんでしょ。あと本当にかわいい。彼女としてかわいすぎる。めっちゃ自然な愛嬌がすごい。素直。五十嵐くんがこの子に告るまでのところでも、言いたくないことは言わない、迎合しないとか、素直に出す子ではあったけど、恋愛でもそうなんだ。人としてそういう性格なんだろうね。強いね。この子将来ますます魅力的な人になるだろうな〜五十嵐くん本当によかったね〜って気持ちで読んでる。最新まで読んだけど、ここからどんな風になるのかな。いろんなごたごたイベントで話を読むの辛く感じる人もいるだろうけど、自分としては、彼女の強さ、芯のぶれなさが現クラスの周りにちょっとずつ影響していくの、いい具合にリアルと幻想まじってて嬉しい。

This review contains spoilers. Igarashi-kun is cool too, but Imai's character is rare. It's not there. This is a girl with a super strong heart, wearing a normal girl's gawa. It's not easy to think about changing and actually act, is it? Also, it's really cute. She's too cute. The natural charm is amazing. Honest. Even until Igarashi-kun told this kid, he was a kid who honestly showed things he didn't want to say or didn't agree, but that's true even in love. I wonder if they have that kind of personality as a person. It's strong. I'm reading it with the feeling that this kid is going to be an increasingly attractive person in the future ~ I'm really glad Igarashi-kun is ~. I've read up to the latest, but I wonder what it will be like from here on out. There are probably people who find it hard to read the story at the various hustle and bustle events, but for me, I'm happy that her strength and lack of core fluctuation gradually influence the surroundings of the current class, and it's a nice mix of reality and fantasy.

ところどころの人間関係の泥臭さが、読んでいて苦い気持ちになるが、筋の通った2人が主人公である事で、自分に正直に生きる事の良さを教えてくれる

The muddy smell of human relationships here and there makes me feel bitter when I read it, but since the two people who make sense are the main characters, it tells me how good it is to live honestly with oneself

心地良い理想

Ideal for comfort

世の中や人間関係が椿ちゃんや衛君のように爽やかに清々しかったら生きにくい人達が楽になるんだろうなぁ。人は正しく生きるのがなかなか難しいけど、間違ったら修正が出来る事は知っている。でもそれが１番難しい、自己肯定と自己嫌悪のはざまで。だからこそ、衛君と椿ちゃんにまた会いたくなるんだろうなぁ。

If the world and relationships were as fresh and clean as Tsubaki-chan and Mame-kun, I wonder if it would be easier for people who have trouble living. It's quite difficult for people to live properly, but I know that if I make a mistake, I can fix it. But that's the hardest part, between self-affirmation and self-loathing. That's probably why I want to see Mamoru and Tsubaki-chan again.

頑張った

I did my best

This review contains spoilers. 椿ちゃんがめちゃめちゃ頑張った。1軍の子達に意見するの勇気いったよね。でも、変わろう、変わりたいという気持ちが強かった。圭織を許せない気持ちもあるけど、それでも自分が彼らと同じにならないように。乃愛はそんな椿を尊敬してた。乃愛は好きな人には優しくするけど嫌いな人には容赦ないね。でも圭織のやってることは最低だからそれも仕方なし。五十嵐くんは驚いていたけど、これでますます椿が気になってきたのかな。

This review contains spoilers. Tsubaki-chan worked really hard. It took courage to give opinions to the children in the 1st Army. But I had a strong desire to change and change. There is also a feeling that I can't forgive Kaori, but even so, don't let me become the same as them. Noai admired Tsubaki like that. Noai is kind to those she likes, but she has no mercy on those she doesn't like. But since what Kaori does is the worst, that can't be helped either. Igarashi-kun was surprised, but I wonder if this has made him more and more interested in camellias.

キュンキュンする

It makes me cringe

失った青春を取り戻しているような気持ちになりました。椿ちゃんの控えめながらも素直で優しい性格と、椿ちゃんだけに甘々の五十嵐君が最高です。地味女子とキラキラ男子の恋愛漫画だと「いや結局この子のどこが良いねん」みたいなことたまに思うんですが、椿ちゃんはとっても素敵な子で、でも人間らしく嫉妬したり落ち込んだりちょいとうじうじオドオドモードのときもあって、いい感じに作品に入り込めます。

It made me feel like I was regaining my lost youth. Tsubaki-chan's modest yet honest and kind personality, and Igarashi-kun, who is only sweet to Tsubaki-chan, are the best. When it comes to romance comics between a plain girl and a sparkling boy, I sometimes think “no, what is good about this kid after all,” but Tsubaki-chan is a very nice kid, but there are times when she is jealous or depressed in a human way, and there are times when she's a little bit nervous, and I get into the work with a nice feeling.

とても尊い

Very precious

This review contains spoilers. まずおすすめしたい点は椿ちゃんの可愛さですね。とにかく可愛い、控えめでふんわりとした女の子です。自己肯定感が低めなので、すぐに謝ったりオドオドしてしまいがち。好みでは無い方にはイライラしてしまうかも…意外と付き合うまでは長すぎずで、ちょうど良いテンポで進んでいきます！付き合った後の2人は初々しくて、青春だぁとキュンキュンしてしまいます！いつもは無表情・無愛想な感じの五十嵐くんが椿ちゃんにはガラッと表情が変わるので、毎回ほかとの対応の差に微笑ましくなれます(*˙˘˙*)ほんわりと可愛い青春少女漫画が好きな方…おすすめです。

This review contains spoilers. The first thing I'd like to recommend is how cute Tsubaki-chan is. Anyway, she's a cute, modest, and fluffy girl. My sense of self-affirmation is low, so it's easy to apologize and get mad right away. It might be frustrating for people you don't like... Surprisingly, it's not too long until you start dating, and it progresses at just the right tempo! After they started dating, the two were so innocent that it made me cringe when they were young! Igarashi-kun, who is always expressionless and unfriendly, changes his expression completely to Tsubaki-chan, so it makes me smile every time (*▽▽*) For those who like really cute Seishun Shoujo manga... I recommend it.

リアルな人間関係と応援したくなる主人公

Real relationships and protagonists that make you want to cheer

大人しいヒロインと人気者の男の子の恋愛という、よくある話だけど主役2人がめちゃくちゃ良い子！！そして人間関係の描写が凄くリアル！！自分の学生時代を思い出して「あぁーそうそう学生特有のあの微妙な人間関係ね！わかる！！」とひたすら共感してました。陽キャでも性格悪い子・根っからの明るくて良い子・陰キャでも大人しくて優しい子・プライド高かったりちょっと捻くれた子とかいろいろいるんですよね。女子特有の陰湿な感じに主人公が涙したり、男子の無神経発言にも傷付いたりととにかくリアルです。でも何より主人公の椿ちゃんがマジでめちゃくちゃ良い子！！優しくて怖がりながらも、ダメだと思ったことにきちんと筋を通そうとする姿勢が素敵です。見ていてツラい展開もあるけど、主人公の真っ直ぐで頑張り屋な姿に周囲の反応が変わっていくところも良い。そして五十嵐くんマジで良い男！！見た目だけじゃなく中身も素敵です。2人のピュアな恋愛模様が見ていて本当にキュンとします。これからの展開も楽しみです！幸せになれよー！！

It's a common story about the romance between a quiet heroine and a popular boy, but the two leading actors are insanely good kids!! And the depiction of human relationships is so realistic!! Remembering my school days, I thought, “Oh yeah, those delicate relationships unique to students! Understood!!” I just sympathized with it. There are various types of children, such as those who are positive characters, children who are bright and good from the bottom of their roots, children who are quiet and kind even if they are yin characters, and children who are proud and slightly twisted. The main character is in tears by the insidious feeling peculiar to girls, and being hurt by the man's insensitive remarks, it's just real. But above all, the main character, Tsubaki-chan, is really an insanely good kid!! Even though they are kind and scared, their attitude of trying to properly understand what they think is bad is wonderful. There are also developments that are tough to watch, but it's also nice that the reactions of the surroundings change to the protagonist's straight, hardworking appearance. And Igarashi-kun is a really nice guy!! Not only does it look great, but the contents are also wonderful. I'm really excited to watch the pure love pattern between the two. I'm looking forward to future developments! be happy!!

一気に読んでしまいました…！

I read it all at once...!

読みやすく、展開も好みでした。2人の青春感がたまらない。学校生活、特に同性の世界というのは面倒なことばかりだったなと懐かしくなりました。今後、主人公ちゃんがさらに自分の嫌なところを変えていけたらいいなと願っています。

It was easy to read, and I liked the development. The feeling of youth for the two is irresistible. It made me nostalgic that school life, especially the same-sex world, was all troublesome. I hope that in the future, the main character can further change what she doesn't like.
