@cofi023 Wow! Binge reading 160+ all in one go? I guess Coco must be doing something right if you didn't drop the series somewhere along the line. I wouldn't call the characterization of the MCs cheap. Instead, I'd call it a pretty realistic portrayal of a young couple, inexperienced in love, who each have their own quirks. I have met women who act over the top like Chiyo, and I, myself, have done dumb and idiotic things like Igarashi, as well pouting and sulking. It's easy to criticize their actions since we are on the outside looking in and we can see the bigger picture. We know, for example, that Igarashi is madly in love with Chiyo and wouldn't look twice at another woman, but we also know that, because of Chiyo's inherent inability to be open and honest, she has no faith in Igarashi.
@Nobi Your quite welcome!
