All this time I sufficed that the anime, the fan-made videos, and fanart brought the best of this, Sasaki and Miyano: First Years made me love the work even more!

This short novel introduces more lovely story strings of the main characters and their adorable quirks that you end loving the entire friendship too much.

Heart-crushingly good!

This novel is great expansion into characters that we don’t get to explore that much in the main story. As well as giving different perspectives of the main storyline; and showcasing the different emotions that each character had during a certain scenes. I would 100% would recommend this novel for any fan of the Sasaki and Miyano manga.

I really enjoyed this look at the story of Sasaki and Miyano from the point of view of characters other than Miyano. I especially liked getting story of not just Kuresawa and his girlfriend, but of how Kuresawa and Miyano became friends. I also appreciated that Tashiro was included, sans any romance. Though I did wondered if there was going to be something with him and the ping pong captain but that didn't happen. The best part for sure though is getting a clearer picture of Sasaki and what he is thinking and feeling as he develops feelings for Miyano.

Collection of cute stories involving a bunch of characters. While I wished it was just Sasaki and Miyano it was nice to see stories about other characters.
