This might be my first middle school romcom?
Man Kaede is so cute haha. The way he berates himself to the point of conjuring up an imaginary future father-in-law. The way he overthinks how to word things and ends up using the worst option. The way he appreciates his mum.
It was very sweet watching Mie gradually cultivate a friendship, then a crush on Kaede. I feel like you could see how she gradually went from being a child with no interest in the other sex to a teenager. And the way she teased Kaede was super cute. I really wonder about the whole premise of this series sometimes though. As someone with bad eyesight, probably as bad as Mie, I don’t see how she could not realise that she had forgotten them LOL. I suppose she is a rather air-headed character, and sleepy too, maybe she sleep walked to school so that’s why she didn’t realise haha.
I found it quite interesting how Mie’s parents allowed Kaede to stay over even if they were in separate bedrooms. I guess I always thought parents would be more strict about those kinds of things? I liked how Kaede’s mum was cheering him on haha.
The side story about Azuma was sweet as well. I kind of wished there was a bit more about Kaede hanging out with his friends. And Mie with her friends as well.
I feel like the roll-out of chapters of this was so slow that I ended up taking a huge break between the first 70% and last 30%. I feel like I would enjoy rereading this again via tankobon. But it’s probably fairly low on my priority list (SQEX books are expensive…)
