I don't even remember adding this my list but okay. I love the authors previous works but this wasn't for me. This was just a little too weird, the idea of seeing my parents romance playout through his thoughts and feelings sounds like decades of therapy.

This series was weird. On one hand the slice-of-life parts are cute and the characters are well flesh out and likable. On the other, the story is all over the place and unfocused, with the premise promising some kind of closure or revelation that never comes.

It sounds like you didn't reach the part when Suzuki starts mixing his parents' love live with his own, and he ends dating a girl who is essentially his mom.

Respectfully, I find that odd. I get you can end up with person like your parents. This comes across like the bleeding effect in AC2, creepy. This story is just not for me and that's okay friend.

That was my point. If you were creeped out just by the flashbacks, you were not ready for how much this series delves into the oedipus complex without becoming flat out incest.

I think what we feel is missing is a couple scenes where the mc perceives the change in himself. Like his decision to invite Ninomae out feels sudden.
I think if we had read it one month at a time, where there’s a pause after his realization that they’re not in the same class, it wouldn’t feel as sudden.
On the other hand, emotional incest syndrome is an under-discussed topic even in American psychology.
Riichi has a weird gift for “going there” gently. Like an otaku Murakami Haruki.

I feel bad for Minoru-kun to die in a few years. 😜
Thanks a lot for the effort to give back this series.

God damn it. Never told anyone about the flashbacks. Hate it when mangas have that sort of thing where its never shared in the end to anyone.

At least it was good to finally read it to completion.
