this is adorable. I'm all for whatever way the story progresses because the characters are super adorable.

This is an absolutely gorgeous story about 4 people falling in love.
Thank you to Manga Mogura on Twitter for hosting the contest and yay for me being the winner of it! I have been looking forward to this manga for a while now and I finally have the chance to read it. Yay!
While I am normally not a fan of a love triangle/love quartet, I have to say this one was well-written and that I enjoyed it. This is a very rare occurrence so well done to the writer/mangaka. Since the blurb already tells us what is going on there were no revelations, but I am still happy with how things were shown throughout the story. How we see Futaba fall for Toma, how Taichi helps Futaba… and falls in love with her. And how we see Toma and the girl who I don’t want to know like them and confess the feelings they have for Toma and Futaba to each other. It was so well done. I never once felt that it was too much or too annoying or too argghhh. I was rooting for everyone in this one.
I especially loved seeing Futaba grow. She was quite mousy and quiet in the beginning of the story but grew more and more as the story went on. She was still a bit silent, but she did try her best so so much. I was rooting for her. And while I was a fan of her with long hair, short hair also looks very adorable on her.
And seeing Taichi go from feeling annoyed with Futaba to starting to like her and getting feelings for her was just wonderfully written and I loved seeing the realisation appear on his face when he figured out that he liked her. But he couldn’t tell her as he had promised to help her out confess to his friend, Toma.
I wasn’t a fan of the black-haired girl at all. She was just so rude, so mean, so horrible. I had a feeling why she was acting this way, but I am sorry to say, this doesn’t excuse her from almost going violent on another person. She kind of ruined it for me a bit. Up to the point it was all good, but this…
I had a laugh at Taichi’s friends and how they just stood out from everyone in the school. Though at times it just felt a bit much especially since no one seemed to look like them and it just felt done on purpose.
The art, HOLY WOW, that was just so gorgeous at many points. Especially when we got close-ups of the characters faces and their expressions. It was just so beautifully done.
All in all, an amazing read and I definitely want to read the rest of the series as well. Sorry for keeping it short and to the point, I have been trying for almost 2 weeks now to write this review, the words are just not coming out easily which happens sometimes when I just love a book too much.

There were so many adorable and cute little interactions in this. I love the way some of the characters are drawn to show their state of emotion. I know it’s not completely new for manga, but since I’m new(er) to reading manga, it has such a hold on me.
And that ending? Um. Have ordered Volume 2 & 3 right away.

Advanced reader copy provided by the publisher on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I wasn't sure what I was going to get when I started this manga, but after finishing it I realise that not only is it completely my style and the type of manga which I want to read, but I absolutely can't wait to read the next volume and find out the secrets of the main characters! I would say that I did struggle to read this manga for the first 20 pages. I tried to read the manga twice in those 20 pages, but I just wasn't enjoying it so I would go and read/do other things. It wasn't until I sat down with the full intention to read the book that I really got into it and read the rest of the manga in one go. I would have finished the manga regardless, but did end up really enjoying my read as opposed to pushing myself through.
One of the main reasons why I like this manga is the fact that you have the main character helping his friend who is a girl to get noticed by his popular guy friend. I like the set ups and the obstacles the characters go past. Despite the fact that this book is focused on romance, I think the best part of it is the book and I think it is one of the main reasons as to why I will continue on with the series. Especially because we see one of the friendships form in this manga so we can be more attached to it as opposed to a friendship already established prior to the book starting.
The plot is very fun and entertaining once the introduction of the characters have been made. The main plot is the engineering of the romance by the main character for his friends, so you have some created scenarios and well as some organic situations and I really liked those scenes of the fake coincidences and genuine connections.
Overall, I really enjoyed this manga. My favourite part was the friendship between the characterss. It made the characters become alive. I would definitely recommend this manga to anybody, and especially to people who enjoy reading shojo mangas.
