I'm really amazed that I'm enjoying this as much as I am. It's not a deep story and even two volumes in I can tell this series will be drowning in shoujo tropes, but it's a fast read and pretty fun to boot. I like how expressive the characters are and I really like the artwork/art style. The characters are fun, albeit a little shallow, but fun nonetheless. This series is a nice, light, fast read if you want a break from all the woe sorrow of heavier series.

I like how 'real' these characters are. The way they interact with each other feels genuine and relatable with how teenagers behave. Futaba and Kou being class reps is a cute way to have semi-forced proximity (they volunteered, but still) I am still loving their banter, it's cute.
The love triangle was predictable. But I like how it's being handled.

I'm writing this review a little late, as I've already read up to vol. 5. Full series review when I read them all.
