its incredibly cute, def not what id consider a great romance though . i know this will end with them both being in love, but a part of me wishes yuu won't actually feel the same and they end up in more of a queer platonic relationship. either way, its cute.

UPDATE + overall series review : 

okay, you got me. this manga was pretty good. despite the beginning, their relationship Does progress into something more fluffy and cute. i like that the manga didn't shy away from touko's identity problems and intimacy issues. i also appreciate their complicated dynamic. i'm considering maki as aroace rep-- which-- points for that too. 

only issue i have with the series is probably the sex scene at the end. i don't wanna see a first and third year doing that, thank you. otherwise, it was an incredibly compelling romance.
