I have been waiting for the English translation to be released and am so glad it’s here!

This is a Romeo and Juliet take on high school romance. Rintaro is such a great character and I love his developing relationship with Kaoruko. 

I absolutely love the art style and the character design. The way the mangaka draws their facial expressions is amazing and it really brings you into the story. I also just love how adorable Kaoruko is and all of her outfits.

I have already pre-ordered volume 2 and cannot wait to read it!

librarian-ing this series as of writing this because Storygraph doesn't have (but soon will!) all the volumes listed but oh god I just needed to shower my love for this series because it's so... soft.. and fluffy... and comforting.. <3

this isn't a groundbreaking shoujo romance story. it's tropish and almost formulaic but it uses ALL THE RIGHT TROPES!!! preppy girls' school vs. frowned upon boys' school, shy but secretely foodie girl X gentle giant delinquent-looking-but-actually-cinnamon-roll guy, jealous best friend who actually hates herself but learns to have friends, feelings realization, summer festivals and fireworks, teenagers being teenagers,, just . it's like all the fluffiest and best ao3 tags combined into one manga with a beautiful - and although very shoujo-like, unique - art style.

it's just so satisfying to read a love story between two people who actually deserve and care for each other, yk? it shouldn't be that hard but honestly most romance manga are either "harem of hot girls for an average-looking horny dude" or "dumb miscommunications and 8538493 chapters for The Confession and another 23349859 for The Kiss Scene" so i'm just glad that this author is a cultured person who knows what the good stuff is <33

i read most of this at 2am to calm down because i actually have a college decision coming up today and this outdid the job so well... love may not exist irl  but at least it's manga like this that makes me all giddy and happy inside lmao
