Relatable and Surprisingly Nuanced!This review contains spoilers. I was looking for some silly romance and not only did I find it, but I stumbled on a treasure trove of a story! Not only does this series deal a lot with things like the complexity of adult life after only ever knowing what a relationship should look like on TV. Asexuality, grown up female friendships, and even acknowledging the way you treat others and adjusting accordingly! Amazing series so far, hopefully I'll be able to read more soon, as I ran out of free copies.

Intriguing and RelatableGood read for adults in their late 20s/early 30s. Characters are all interesting and have layers to them. I found myself wanting to know more about who they are and what goes on in their lives. Mature and relatable, I would recommend.

So moving!Ugh, this one has my heart pulled in like every direction. It's got a fair bit of realism, it's a nice take on slice of life. Work, relationships, and life get so complicated as you get older and this story captures the nuance of it very well. I loooove it, I'm rooting for Kousaka & Kagiya always T~T !!

Refreshingly realI really loved this one. The character writing is wonderful, everyone is so nuanced and complex. It's feels really realistic, how everyone has their own complex lives, dreams and worries. I also really enjoyed how this series talked about different experiences like asexuality, societal views on "virginity" and how everyone is truly unique and yet never alone.

Precious and heartwarmingI did not expect to see so many glimpses into different character's experiences with love. It ranges from long term relationships to very beginner. The issues and personalities all differ so much that it made me think about my own life. Much read!

Incredibly sweet 🧡The story and all the characters really pull you in. There's romance, of course, but also innocence, some racy, hot stuff and the reality of balancing work and home life. I love that I can relate to a little bit of each character's hang ups and personalities. Can't wait to read more!

Compelled to ScrollThere are state-of-the-art skyscrapers out there trembling in jealous rage at how purposefully built and structurally sound the romances are in this literary wonder. It's already rare to have one or two such well-crafted arcs in a manga, but this easily breezes past that number. It's worth the cost and more.

Can't wait for moreI'm so pleasantly surprised by how earnest this series is. I wasn't expecting a manga to treat a topic like virginity later in life so seriously and realistically. Literally so obsessed I started trying to "read" the Japanese language original volumes just to see how the story develops... which i gotta say makes me respect whoever is translating this into English. Yall are doing a phenomenal job.

Mature, but sweet and realisticThis is one of the most mature and realistic stories I've read in this type of manga. I hope they continue translating the next volumes, since I purchased them in Japanese and Kousaka and Kagiya's relationship keeps growing and growing. And the others characters and their development are really good, too!

RefreshingAfter being in a long term relationship for so long, I forgot what it was like to first start out.
And this is exactly it! I love the anxiety, the concerns, it really takes me back to when I first started dating around
