deserved the axe:
these love triangles rarely work as a good story;
her objective was childish, but way too dramatic at the same time;
the story also seriously lacks in Reiwa energy, using old tricks to lengthen the story, like suddenly meeting some girl who just happens to be in love with you to make the other hoe jealous; these cliches are just too old now, done 100 times already; no kiss, not a single chapter where they're dating, just all the old issues with "romcoms";
I also do not consider any manga with less than half of its chapters with the main couple IN a relationship to be tagged as Romance; stories that end on confessions are merely SOL manga, not Romance
final score: 3/10
