This manga is growing on me more and more.
I live in Japan and this reminds me of when I was walking out of the train station and saw a high school couple walking hand-in-hand up the stairs. The guy was just average to look at, while the girl was a real beauty. His face was flushed with innocent, sincere happiness while she looked at him fondly. Manga come to life. If my mind's eye were a camera I would show you the picture. Good for them.
