Usually I find emotional conflicts and scenes like this to be extremely trite and melodramatic; unpleasant to read, or somehow feeling a bit detached and cold. The author in this case manages to sell that emotional push and pull, and though it is still certainly dramatic, I think the lack of obnoxious pontificating is what makes this a lot easier for me to read. The art is amazing at conveying the emotions without being too intense at all times too, so the tension is eased slightly, and plus MC is very cute too, the way the author draws her mouth is hilarious to me but in a good way. Tl;dr this is some gud stuff. X3
