2.0

The premise behind this book is promising, but the execution was very poor. The story is rushed and incredibly confusing. There is hardly any chemistry between the leading couple. Readers are told they are in love, but we do not see it or feel it. The science-fiction elements are not explained in the slightest, leaving the reader floundering for explanations that can’t be found. The time-traveling method is nonsensical, and the converging timelines are so tangled together that it is difficult to tell which characters are from the past/present/future and which time they are currently in. It’s a cute story, but it feels half-baked.

This was okay. It felt rushed and there was barely anytime for character development. It also felt like they were trying to do so much that it probably would have been better as a series rather than a one shot.

I feel like there are other manga with the same vibes that do these themes a lot better: Tokyo Revengers, Orange, The Tunnel to Summer, and Your Name. I’d recommend those series.

But the art was nice and it ended on a happy note. It was a fast read so I’m not mad. I did enjoy my time with it but it won’t be staying in my collection.
