I really like the characters in this manga, they are complex and make mistakes and grow. And because they are so well written, their relationships are also really good. For the main 4, I really enjoyed all different constellation and how they interacted with each other. And the side characters, too, are really good and had their own storylines and opinions going on and interacted so nicely with the main charaters.
This manga has some really good messages and some of them hit me hard, even though I've been out of highschool for years now. I think, that is a sign of a good coming-of-age story.
I also like how the manga handeld the queer themes, how different queer charcters viewed their identities and how their relationships were affected. And while it did show negative sides, it was overall more positive and I'm really glad there's more and more happy lighthearted-ish queer stories out there.

Oh wow, this is such a great introduction to the story and the characters! I can’t wait to get more into their feelings and histories with each other, and I wonder how things will progress.
