Sep 07, 2026This sweet romance will have broad appeal to readers who appreciate stories of exploration, self-discovery, and emotion. Mangaka Hayakawa deftly conveys two teenagers constantly battling a balance of embarrassment and showing attraction through simple cartooning and sparse lining of the characters.

Their outlines determine tone and match the characters’ emotions, while at times their shading also carry weight that change the entire feel of a page. Readers who enjoyed I Hear the Sunspots or My Love Mix-Up may enjoy this single-volume story. Read Full Review
