My thoughts on it after reading all of it (contains spoilers)
This was definitely written for women, probably by a woman.

I liked the FL (Niko) but not the ML (Leon), because he stars of pretty rapey, he forcibly steals her first kiss and many more afterwards until she falls in love with him. That's like being raped in a dark scary alley but then you realize the guy raping you is handsome, rich and somewhat nice so you fall in love with him and because of that it's no longer rape... this is absolutely ridiculous.

He is a actually a nice guy with good and bad traits, but he never felt like all that good of a guy because of his pushy/rapey behavior and he fooled around a lot with a lot of other girls, he never felt serious, also he admitted in the beginning he was only interested in her because she wasn't interested in him, that's pretty selfish/self-centered and childish behavior.

The translation and probably the original text too was subpar. There were many times when things just didn't make sense, they were contradictory, words were in the wrong order, or missing, or too many.

This manga was short so it didn't cover anything about school life except for the play, no studying, no school trips, no career plans, no graduation.

The FL almost has no friends either, the FL only had 1 friend it seems who showed up like 5 times for brief periods and even that was not a close/true friend.

And of course there has to be an almost break-up moment, that could have been and should have been avoided with a simple text or call, but wasn't for very stupid reasons. Because it was so easy to avoid this felt forced and out of place and it pretty much ruined it for me.

It ends in a happy ending but pretty abruptly with a 10+ year time jump.

There are more details about the characters in the last short omake/epilogue than there is in almost the entire manga, that's not how you do character development.

Overall i guess i enjoyed it, there was lots of kissing and the FL was kinda unique with her anti-rape combat moves, it was fun to watch her restrain the ML and make him say Uncle.

Rated 5/10 also there is no smut in this, hell there isn't a single panty-shot or a nipple in sight, not even breast outlines, even Pokemon is sexier than this, visually that is, the kissing does get pretty hot a few times.
(PS. you can find this on Nyaa)
