Okay, the premise has me puzzled. Does An’s school start classes later than the Azeno school? I can’t think of any other way it makes sense for her and Shunpei to be taking the same bus every day, if Azeno is a fair distance from both her school and Shunpei’s house.

That said, the dynamic of a class that’s been together since they were little is something I haven’t really seen explored before, and it’s one that’s a little familiar to me — my old yearbooks show 41 kids in my grade in kindergarten and 25 in 10th grade (counting me), and 17 of those are the same by my count. It’s even more striking if you compare kindergarten to 5th grade: only 7 of those 41 left, and 11 more were added, for a K-5 overlap of 34 kids.

I really like how they show his self consciousness every time he says something he finds awkward.

Chapter 9... The fumbles...
The progression is so cozy and nice though. Every time there's an update it makes my day

Holy peak. Tho the MC kinda dug his own grave by gatekeeping the gal girl and then An pushed him in by telling.

I like how he just asked for her contact info without making it weird or dragging it out across multiple chapters. Bro actually gets shit done unlike other MCs.

In discussion thread for chapter 14, the locations from the manga have been tracked down on Google Street View:
Detective time: Now that we know for sure that it's set around the centre of Kyoto Prefecture, we can figure out exactly where the manga is happening.

'Azeno-cho' as it is called in universe is in reality Kyotamba-cho.

Shunpei's middle school is this place. This angle looks close enough to what's shown in the panel.

The main bus stop is Hinokiyama bus stop; it looks exactly like it does in the manga and is a ten minute walk away from the school.

It seems to be the main stop of the area so like ten buses branch out from it - the exact bus Shunpei and An take is apparently Shitsumi line.
The Hachiman shrine in Chapter 12 is the giveaway, again the entrance looks exactly like it does in the manga.

Shunpei and An's places would be a bus stop or two up and down the shrine. An's stop is probably here, doesn't match exactly but does seem pretty accurate. Not entirely sure where Shunpei's stop would be for now.
leaving this here to make it easier to find later, if needed

this has got to be the sweetest thing I've read in years!!! 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 the art is beautiful, the characters are down to earth, the story is light and fluffy, and even the translation and typesetting are super high quality too (i like the use of slang here and there...frfr...)!!!!! genuinely all I could ask for in a series. I haven't kept up with any manga recently, but I'm definitely gonna keep up with this one! 💖💖
