This manga is really good. However, if you're looking for a fluffy, cute romance, this isn't the one for you.

Hey, thanks for sharing your thoughts! I really appreciate you explaining what worked for you and what didn’t, and I totally respect your perspective

I do think some parts of the story might have been interpreted a bit differently than the way they were intended, so I just wanted to clarify a couple of things. The phone call in Chapter 4 isn’t really meant to spoil the whole direction of the story. It shows where Eri and Kyou-hei are emotionally at that moment, not where they’ll end up. The following chapters are about them untangling misunderstandings and learning to communicate better. Their choices can feel frustrating or “illogical,” but they line up with their personalities—Kyou-hei being awful at expressing himself and Eri misreading him because of her insecurities.

There actually is character development, but it’s a slow burn. Kyou-hei’s growth shows more clearly later when he starts facing the consequences of how he handled things. Iyo and Kiseki also get more depth as the story moves on, though it’s true the manga doesn’t focus on them as strongly in the early chapters.

A lot of the messy decisions are intentional. The story leans into the idea that love makes people act irrationally, especially teenagers who barely know how to communicate their feelings. The chaos feels frustrating at times, but it’s part of the theme rather than a sign of weak writing.

For me personally, the reason I enjoyed it is because the emotional messiness felt grounded and human. I liked that the characters weren’t perfect or instantly likable, and that their growth came from stumbling through misunderstandings instead of magically fixing everything. The later chapters made the earlier frustration feel worth it, because you can see how much the characters have been shaped by their mistakes. It wasn’t always comfortable to read, but it felt honest, and that’s what made the story resonate with me.

I definitely agree with you that Chapters 20 to 23 are some of the best. They bring the characters’ mistakes, confusion, and emotions to a point where things finally start to move forward. The earlier frustration becomes more meaningful when you see how everything comes together.

Either way, even if we see some parts differently, I’m glad you still ended up having a good experience with it. I’m curious to hear what you’ll think after the last three chapters.
I went back here because I saw that it ended and uh... yeah as expected it was hella anticlimactic. I think that last part at the observatory was nice but overall the fact I already knew what was going to happen really lowered my interest with the story.

I can say that Eri and Fuyuki's character development is definitely very good. That's easily the best thing about this manga. Seeing them go through all of that and change as people was very interesting.

I don't really think it was that entertaining though, classic soap opera drama type shit that gets boring really quickly.

It also feels like everyone else but the main characters feel so forgettable. I can barely remember anything Ryouhei or Kiseki did after just a month after I initially read this.

Overall I think it might just not be for me, since I do think there's a good story in there. I just don't think it hit me. I would say that it's a 50/50 if you asked me if I would recommend it.

A true masterpiece. The ups, the downs, the character development, the unique art. A top 5 out of the 90+ I’ve read
