3.0

Pros: 
  • Good character design. 
  • Nice, clean art. 
  • Strong humor focus.

Cons: 
  • Fast pace makes for sometime confusing timeline. Not helped by the fact that numbers signifying chapter changes are often hard to spot. Learning this manga started life on Twitter does go a way towards explain some things, though.

Things that might give pause: 
  • Main romance is between an 18 year old and a 28 year old which would have been considered illegal in Japan at the original time of publication in 2019. At one point, the younger character even uses the age of majority law as a playful threat towards the older character.
  • A couple jokes rely in the humor of one character punching/slapping/kicking another which may read as abusive to some readers.
