This was a very simple story, with a cute but simple concept. A pair of next door neighbors slowly fall in love with one another before getting together. There is also the entire thing of Nagi sleeping in the same bed with Yu while Yu is passed out drunk, and Nagi sneaking out before Yu ever wakes up which is...odd. But it's played as a cute romantic thing but I still think that's kind of weirdo behavior. There's also just nothing really to this story. It moves from pining to romance a bit too quickly for my taste. I just like a little bit more substance to characters or at least some more building of a relationship before it jumps to being in a committed relationship with [spice] scenes. The art was beautiful, and I did enjoy the character designs.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review
