Beziehungsstatus: Es ist kompliziert! by Chia Teshima

emotional lighthearted medium-paced

i've got this  book gifted by my partner and tbh i don't really like the art style at all.
the faces are just so tiny while the female eyes are super big. 
this book has two stories and none of them were particularly deep. i liked the first one better because it has some similarity to what my realtionship at the time felt like and i was able to identify with the innocent girl in the story.
but. even at that time i saw it's really flat. the protagonist Yuha is so naive you may want to hit your head on the table while reading. it's sometimes cute but often times just boring and annoying. it's all about true love and her first relationship even though they don't even do anything. it's a typical middle school realtionship. i'm not a huge fan of it. i don't understand why it's marked 15+ either. i was 17 when i read it the first time and it was kind of boring because you grow out of this whole naivity that the protagonist shows.
in conclusion i only like this book because it has a special meaning to me. the story and characters are too bland for me personally.
