For the most part, very cute, very sweet, but I left this with a low 4 star feeling. 3.5 to be honest. I thought the pairing and the story was cute, I did find "thinking the handwriting belonged to a girl" a bit annoying. I wished Sumito's friends got to understand and accept Kokuma throw out the story. There could've been more emotional scenes of them together instead of 4-5 sex scenes that felt like it was more important than fleshing out a damn character. And then there's the ending(?). That ending could've been everything. It could've made up for the stupid amount of sex scenes that only felt like were in here to keep your attention. But to have it cut the way it did just to give us an extra with more sex pissed me off. I didn't even know if that was actually the ending because of how messed up the uploads are on here. I had to do a lot of googling to see if that really was the ending.
But the art. Oh my god the art! It's pretty normal most of the time, but whenever there's a genuine heartfelt moment and/or someone smiles... I am blinded by the non-existing beams of light that I can see so vividly. The soft moments that you get from this author's art is the main and maybe the only reason I want to read more of their stuff. I've read 2 books so far and I feel that their lack of character development and plot are gonna annoying me and have me asking questions. But I also know that their art in general and the imagery of when someone is genuinely happy will stab me multiple times in the heart and I will thank them.
So, yeah, I think This Wonderful Season With You did this story better..
