The pacing is so quick and developments are so forced that it feels less like a proper story and more like the author went through a checklist of bullet points to get through for fast progression.
Don’t get me wrong: I’m no fan of manga teasing their readers for dozens or hundreds of chapters of very little progress, but this is a romance story without any romance. To put it another way it’s the characters heavy-handedly telling each other (and us) that they like each other but not actually showing how or why they like each other in any meaningful way. They blush, they kiss, but that’s about it. She likes him because he let her use his shower and didn’t try sexually assaulting her, and he likes her because she’s cute and cooked him breakfast? Are standards really that low?
We haven’t been given time to see romantic developments actually happen. Instead it’s just “Oh I’m afraid of men but I’m okay with you for no specific reason.” and everyone in their lives encouraging them to date and telling them they like each other when the core issue of her fear of men hasn’t even been resolved? Now there’s a teacher saying to assault her if need be because she’ll like it and an elementary school sister telling her if she doesn’t kiss this boy (that the little sister has known for all of an hour) then she’ll tell their parents she’s not hanging out with a girl?
It feels exploitative at worst and like it’s made with a heavy and naive male gaze of someone who doesn’t understand irl relationships at best.
