Has Ninako lost her chance with Ren? Or will they find a way to be together?
4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT

MY REVIEW:

When I first started this series, I never expected to enjoy it so much. I thought that Ninako would continue to be an idiot and that Daiki would never confess to her until way later and that there would be a whole bunch of stupid misunderstandings before the couple finally got together.

I was wrong.

The characters grew and matured and their backstories made their motives and decisions easily understood. And their earnestness and honesty and confusion just made them even more endearing and real.

So yeah, I definitely recommend it for people who enjoy character-driven stories because this series is more of a slow-paced, slice-of-life romance with small outbursts of comic relief and adorable moments.
