I do not understand why so many manga have protagonists who are shit pies. I don't empathize with shit pies. I don't aspire to be a shit pie. I don't aspire to be a former shit pie.
The story had its ups and downs, but Nao-sensei's art was great through and through, definitely worth a read if you like her art style (also recommend her recent collab with Okada-sensei on Araburu Kisetsu!).
