btw this is one of that kind of shoujo manga that can comfortably read by both gender, my other recommendation is: Taiyou no Ie, Tonari no Kaibutsu kun, Nijiiro Days, Takane to Hana.
I adore this series - and I am glad to see that it is starting to pick up the pace with their relationship. Although I'm pretty certain that they'll feel super awkward and nothing will happen!
