I decided to read this manga since I wanted to read a manga about adults, after mostly reading mangas about teenagers and their high school lives. I mostly go for slice of life manga, and this seemed like something that I could relate to, and I'm glad that I picked it up! I thought that it was nice to see people in relationships where people accept and adore each other for who they are. It's something I can relate to as someone who is neurodivergant in a relationship with another neurodivergant person. I think it's so special to be with someone who understands you and who can relate to being different and having nerdy interests, and it's just so nice to read stories about that kind of relationship.
Overall I enjoyed the story, and it was fun to read about the author taking inspiration from stories told by her real life friends, because I think that made the stories realistic and relatable. I thought it was funny that Hirotaka is a gamer like my boyfriend and Narumi likes anime and manga just like me so I could recognize myself in the story because of that. It was so cute to see them sitting next to each other while doing thier own thing, I think that's something that a lot of couples do and I enjoy seeing the everyday ordinary stuff represented in love stories.
