Short and sweet story. Although some of the writing felt like they tried to stretch the story.

Sometimes it was hard to follow as some paragraphs shift character povs. One of the chapters was just comparing about each other’s breast??

The romance was very wholesome. Mishima’s writing is also good as always. Nice summer read

This book's description of the female body is... weird, to say the least. It gave me the ick every time the author tried to remind us how male and virile Shinji is. Like, wtf is a "male silence"
