I am so weak for the domestic moments Kusakabe and Sajou share. It was great getting to see how they came to terms with their relationship changing as they prepared to walk their own paths in life and figure out a place for each other in their plans for the future.

That being said, I'm not exactly a fan of boys negatively saying they're "acting like girls" or "turning into girls" just because they're dating boys and having emotions and caring about each other, as though boys can't also feel or act that way. It's really weird and unsettling the way I've seen it handled in manga like this, but... the story between these two kids is still very wholesome, so I can let it slide because it's not so bad that it comes across as sexist or fetish-y like in some other series I can think of.
