It’s only the first volume, and there’s been a lot of nonconsensual behavior. I don’t really get Touko & Yuu’s dynamic, and Yuu’s motivations and actions confuse me.

There's an unconcensual kiss in the book which made me kind of uncomfortable and I'm not the biggest fan of nanami yet because she seems a bit too pushy and manipulative with her "I'll make you fall in love" / continuously pursuing the MC even after her telling her she isn't going to fall for her. I read multiple reviews saying that the MC reads as an asexual character and i agree. I do find the story enjoyable enough to read on.

its incredibly cute, def not what id consider a great romance though . i know this will end with them both being in love, but a part of me wishes yuu won't actually feel the same and they end up in more of a queer platonic relationship. either way, its cute.
UPDATE + overall series review :
okay, you got me. this manga was pretty good. despite the beginning, their relationship Does progress into something more fluffy and cute. i like that the manga didn't shy away from touko's identity problems and intimacy issues. i also appreciate their complicated dynamic. i'm considering maki as aroace rep-- which-- points for that too.
only issue i have with the series is probably the sex scene at the end. i don't wanna see a first and third year doing that, thank you. otherwise, it was an incredibly compelling romance.

This was such a cute first part, I need to pick up the next ones asap. I thought the relationship development was adorable, if a bit fast on Nanami's side. I wonder if Yuu might be demi? I'm excited to see where their relationship goes, and I'll definitely be checking out the anime.
