Gets better with every reread.It is more of a documentary illustrating adult love and its derivation of struggles attached to it than strictly a manga.It has little to no redundant variables to stretch out the plot or add drama.A typical Ryouta's work which has its nuances in the dialogues and its delivery without blatant exposition. The main characters are Ageha and Tsutomu, college students of same year.Both of them are cut out of similiar mold.They are a dynamic duo who has their ups and downs rather than follow a linear path, which in turn made it relatable and realistic. The manga is dividedinto two portions ; first where it deals with Ageha's insecurity and second with Itou.
Both had a precondition which made them fear falling in love .Ageha fearfull of her age gap,the years she lost and the conduct she is expected to have in front of the younglings, runs away once she falls in love dreading their future together.He chases after her . Trials and tribulations ensues and they vow their love for each other.
Tsutomu due to his condition(impotency) overcompensates more often than not.He wants to be the man who would stand toe to toe with his older girlfriend.He is confident about his academics but fails to get a job owing due to him losing a year .To make matters worse Ageha gets pregnant and now it's time for him to feel cornered.Suffocated he runs away and reconciles later on ending with both of them marrying and shouldering responsibilities .The circle of friends around them were very impressive supporting the duo.They weren't just there as catalysts.A few of them had their own interesting stories to tell.
All in all a fabulous read and recommended for someone looking for serious romance with interesting set of characters without a contrived plot
