Kaede kinda got the shit end of the deal, and I was hoping for him to end up with her. I guess him realizing his feelings late in the manga, and the age gap kinda threw me off. It's still a good pairing, but for most of the manga I was rooting for Kaede and thought of Sakaki as more of a guardianish older adult friend to Nao than a romantic partner. I guess the age gap can be blamed for that. I'm looking forward to anything else from this artist, and I'll definitely read her previous series.
