3.0

Picked up this teen romance manga to fill up my 2023 reading challenge. I’m definitely not the target audience and the drama is very teen-focused, so I did catch myself rolling my eyes quite a few times. But you can’t deny how cute and heartwarming first loves can be! So equal parts childish and charming…which means I’ll probably finish it as an easy read.
