5.0

I've read 4 (5?) volumes of this manga, but I can only find one here so...

I absolutely love this manga, I think is one of the best shoujos I've read. The relationship between the characters is just amazing, is realistic and Kai is absolutely incredible. He is not your typical shoujo manga main, okay, yes he is kind of a womanizer at the beginning but he is never mean, arrogant or manipulative. He has a kind heart, he is honest, he is a good friend and more than anything, he is respectful towards Riko.
It's also cute to see him as the main POV, usually, you see the girl fall in love with the boy and all that jazz, but here we see -almost- everything from his perspective and it's adorable!.

While we have a few clichés and over-used prompts, they are well handled and amazingly written. THE ART IS LOVELY! I find really hard to read a manga when the art doesn't please me.
I would recommend everyone to read this, mostly because I'm tired of seeing the same kind of problematic and toxic relationship in mangas, this one is a breath of fresh air.

I can't wait to see where Kai and Riko will guide me x
