First off, this is a romance, so you know that Takaya and Yurina are going to have something, but the past keeps getting in the way. Takaya doesn't remember a thing about the bullying until Yurina tells him up front, and while he is sorry, he can't erase the past. What's more, he is in love with her. Yurina is dead set against liking him at all because of what he did to her in the past. It's something that she believes is unforgivable. What's really great about this manga is the character development. Yurina has to come to terms with her feelings about the pastand face the present while also recognizing the person she is now as well as who Takaya has become. I didn't cry during her troubles, but every time she thought about how she felt, my chest hurt a lot. Yurina was constantly battling her bad memories and she couldn't see why Takaya could love her now. I think the feelings that arose from being bullied at a young age were depicted very well.

Personally I am not a fan of love at first sight, but the way Takaya was portrayed really did make him look like he loved Yurina. He was a sweetheart. I would rate it higher, though, if it didn't seem like he was infatuated at first by her appearance.

There is a slightly crazy conflict in the manga that I won't reveal here, but it's another reason why I won't rate it higher than an 8/10. I really did enjoy reading it, though. Even though it was short, it was extremely satisfying and kept me going to the next chapter.
