Why aren’t there stories that are simple and straightforward like this? Every time I get to find myself a simple story they make the plot more complex. I'm not saying it’s not a bad thing but just a simple storyline would be nice. This manga is just what I was looking for (my criteria of simple, it might be different for you guys) and exceeded my expectations. This is truly an unappreciated manga, so this is why I make this review. Although it’ll be short because it’s only 13 ch in. This story revolves around a couple Subaru and Asahina ,who are a normal couple until forsome unknown reason Subaru turns to an elementary schooler and now lives with his girlfriend, who the people around them think are only siblings. Now Subaru needs to hide his identity and try to act like an elementary schooler while finding a way to return to adulthood.

Although it’s a cliche story, the way they made the situations realistic was well written. Usually in strange situations where reactions, dialogues or development come out bizarre, out place and unrealistic making the story really dislikable. In this case it does not happen but actually fits in with the story, where the main protagonist does things of who he is (an adult). The pacing of the story is great, it doesn't have any time skips and it doesn’t unskip details of the story. Although it’s a slice of life type of show. It is quite sad how hard the Subaru tries to return back to normal, so it can hit you with the feels.

The characters are really well written, it has realistic feelings to it, so that’s a 10/10 for me. The side characters are pretty fun and not annoying even though some are trying to be annoying to the protagonist, they are pretty fun and wholesome to watch.

The art of the manga is really unique, mostly the character designs where you can tell if the hair is straight, wavy or curly, it’s really noticable and well drawn. The lighting and shading are well made, you can tell if it’s day or not when they're in a room. I have to say Takahashi Natsuko has a gorgeous artstyle.

Although it’s only 13 ch in at the moment I’m really liking the characters and story. It’s a hidden gem and I can’t believe it’s so unpopular. I would love to hear more praise of this manga and the author. Although it’s a light slice of life story, it has some sad, heavy moments. Read it, you won’t regret it.
