The story was filled with cliché and wish fulfillment, even love rival arcs were nothing much of "I've seen it before" although Michiko being a wingman was a surprise and Hikari being a hired honey trap but also a potential love interest, but all together was a good meal to eat.

I fucking hate The Time Skip or "I'll work out my flaws on my own" trope in many stories, this is such an unrealistic bullshit to do with one you love and serves no reasonable purpose, I get it's some sort of "test of love" or stupid "being together will hinder own growth", this just doesn't work.

There's another universally praised story with numerous love interest that got this trope, one was separated by families because it would hinder their growth (stupid as fuck), another went out because she reached the limit of passing down the knowledge and went out teaching some perverted noble, another gone on the decade long journey to become worthy to protect her lover in case of danger which made him on depression arc with suicide attempts. Despite all the separation rejoined happily... But there was one realistic love interest who instead going on that kind of journey, found someone else who shared relationship hardship and got not only engaged but also made a happy family with kids...

But back to the story...


Grandpa still holding the grudge to Osamu and cutting off Eiji despite seeing exactly the same thing with Eiji and Aoi was such a let down, hopefully his family business got torn apart by shareholders. Was hoping he will support their love and decide to help his grandson with his work...

Aoi taking over (?) or working at Sweets Haven was very nice character growth, would be great if they decided to follow the same route as Kyouko and Osamu, giving The Finger to both families tho'

Shame we didn't get Hikari and Shigeru getting together BEFORE Aoi and Eiji, this would be a fun thing to make, showing their relationship didn't need a 5 years of "proving own worth" and working out their flaws together.

Well, at least Aoi and Eiji got engaged... so there's that.

Overall, with all the cliché and tropes it was a good meal, could be longer story but the axe was too sharp it seems...

7/10 is a fair rating I think..

I swear 50% of mangas that are tl by toruscans are getting axed
Thank god that isn't the case. We're currently working on 22 series (and 2 more in a subgroup). Idoltonari ends at chapter 15, unfortunately, and we'll finish that one off. AFAIK, we only have three that ended prematurely. Idoltonari, kiraboshi, and shy & poor otaku (this one).
