This story had a very promising set up, but I’ll admit, stories with short guys can be a total win OR they can fall really flat if they don’t get over the height difference. Like dude, the girl likes you as you are - you’re making this over complicated by not bothering to communicate and making assumptions for her.

Unfortunately, this story did fall into that worry of mine.Chitose treats Tomo as more like an idea and a sexual-light object. And so while, I really enjoyed the character design, I would need more character development and MUCH better communication before I continue the series.

Also the boob pressing gags got old pretty swiftly. I’d prefer them replaced with better communication. I always have hope for this trope, but for this one, it didn’t pan out.
