I love this series so much. All the characters are so sweet while dealing with their own insecurities. But the love and care between them shines through. I own the first 8 or so volumes.

The art is very reminiscent of OG mangas from the early 2000. Light, cute and very straightforward in it's intend. Making it feel personable and refreshing. (WHICH I LOVE, THERE HAS BEEN A DRAUGHT OF SUCH MANGAS).
I came directly from the anime, as I loved everything about it. 
The characters are so lovable, and I feel like I am transported to highschool, even though I didn't experience the most conventional life.
The manga makes a good show of how a person best traits can also become their worst attribut in certain situations, which results in main conflict of the story. 
I would like to add while the conflicts

(The main characters emotional struggles and past trauma from human interaction

are just a measly 20% of the story, it contributes to the overall feel good feeling of reading the manga, when they are resolved. 

I found myself loving the philosophy of the series as a whole, that our  relationships which last the longest (platonic and romantic) can only maintained if we try to observe ourselves and work on ourselves. 
It's something that I resonated deeply to as aspec, since people seem to undermine non-romantic relationships. 

And I'm just grateful for the Mangaka for giving us the joy of introducing the character of Nao-chan to this world and single handedly making one of the best, openly trans-rep in the recent history of mangas
