Adored this one. Really nice development of the relationship. Some funny bits and sweet bits, with some sass thrown in too.

A sad story about abuse and Stockholm syndrome wrapped up in a cloak of romanticism, essentially. I'd have liked a time skip so that the main character was an adult when he got into this relationship. There's no getting around not just an age gap but a completely different stage of life gap. Add in the power differential that would have been present even as an adult and it's hard to call this cute. They say sweet things, allude to darker things, and use all the classic tropes to get to the happy ending, but it's definitely problematic.

If you can get past some pretty sketchy 'science' and some glossed over consent at the beginning you'll really love this relationship and story. Real friends turn into real lovers, and it's both sweet and funny.

They could have fleshed out the relationship a bit more with a bit slower pacing before they used the L word but apart from that it's good.

I was initially worried by the dynamics and wasn't sure what I was going to encounter but it was really well done and not at all creepy. Very very cute story with a happily ever after.

I need to know what happens next! Am now fully invested in this story 😅 good character development, realistic emotions, hot scenes, and the plot's not overly predictable either! Very curious to see how this one progresses from the last installment...

It's definitely readable and it hooked me in enough to finish but it had weird undertones and wasn't big on consent, so...

Nice story, some sweetness and some humour with just a little danger thrown in - nice pacing of the relationship too.

Really love the diversity of characters and the realistic portrayal of modern dating! Cute, charming, funny, and enjoyable.

Full of surprises and plenty spicy. Really enjoying this one so I'm interested to see where it goes next

Reading this was an absolute joy 😊 I really fell in love with the characters and all the different dynamics being explored. Definitely one of my favourites

So refreshing to have manga romance that doesn't involve secrets and lies between the main couple (so far) and doesn't start with some sort of assault! Perfect amount of drama and subterfuge from all other directions to keep the story interesting while the love interests are cute and somewhat slow burning. Looking forward to seeing where this goes

I absolutely adore this story so far! Will definitely be looking for updates. The characters are complex and believable and the relationships are so interesting and 'real'

A little lacking in terms of build up of sexual tension and the dialogue was very repetitive but overall a sweet story

I felt like it was missing something. There were some sweet moments so glad the protagonists got themselves sorted by the end but lots of it left a sour taste in my mouth and if it was real life I'd have a field day pointing out all the red flags...I don't think it was a very healthy portrayal of s&m but I get that it's fiction and whatever

I really didn't expect to love this as much as I have. I like that it doesn't follow the easy path or stick to simple connect-the-dots type relationships. It feels sad, messy and raw at times but it's very sweet and full of heart. I'd love to know what happens next. I may be wrong but I feel like we're nearing the natural conclusion over the next few chapters, and I don't want to miss it!
