I put this at mixed feelings not because I think that it is poorly written, but because it's a bit strange- for a romance manga. If you seen the author's other works, most notably "The Girl I like Forgot Her Glasses", and you liked that and wanted something like it, then stop and go read something else. This is very different from that, I'm not sure if the author usually writes in this way, because, I only saw the anime for the first title (haven't gotten around to finishing the manga). However, the character writing in this actually surprised me. In a lot of romancesthe characters can be a bit stagnant at times. I think for a cute romance it isn't a necessity have really deep characters, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much the two main characters grow in this, especially the ML. That said, overall the story had a more "realistic" tone. I don't usually like when stories try to be as realistic as possible, because it is often at the expense of the story, yet I think the character writing and dynamic between the two leads saved it a bit for me. As a warning, I will say the ending made me feel a bit conflicted- a tad bittersweet. But it didn't go the full mile of making a needlessly sad ending and I felt left their relationship at a promising note. Meaning I don't think that their was a "goodbye" mentality, if you get what I mean.
