It's a simple manga, like everything that Go Ikeyamada writes. Very fun to read, full of tropes of manga and romance in general. I like the main characters and the romance is very simple, so if that's what you looking for, go for it. Full of nerd stuff like everything that the author usually does. Very fun to read, the characters are funny and you usually cheer for them.
Though, if you dont like cliched stuff, I suggest you to not read anything from Go Ikeyamada.
Her art its waaay too ....Idk how to explain, its too much sometimes, but its cute if you like it. ...
I like her works, so for me its fine, but I can understand why some people wouldnt like.

I'm familiar with Ikeyamada Go's writting style and I'm very pleased with how much she grew over the years. This manga is much more mature and better written throughout. The fact that it tackles something very real in her life (and her staff's lives) are probably factors that helped in improving the quality of this manga she wrote.

I started reading it without expecting much because I considered Ikeyamada Go's ideas to be very repetitive, basic, sexist and outright problematic. I'm very happy to say that my expectations were 99% wrong and therefore this was much more enjoyable than what I initially thought. There's still ... problematic content but it's almost non-existent.

There are two main stories that are happening at once: the brother's story (Mitsuru) and the sister's story (Mego). Initially they are handled 50-50, meaning both are given the same amount of spotlight but eventually Ikeyamada Go focuses a lot more on Mego's side of things. This upset me because as someone familiar with several of her other mangas, this character and story mostly felt repetitive and unoriginal after chapter 24. Mitsuru's story for me was so much more interesting and I always wanted more spotlight on his side of things.

At the end it becomes obvious why Ikeyamada Go decided to portray Mego's side more often and in a more detailed way compared to Mitsuru's story. However, since I was really into the brother's side of things and the sister's story felt boring and bland to me, on a manga this long, it's unavoidable that I didn't enjoy reading several chapters.

Regarding characters, I think Mego is a copy paste of Ikeyamada Go's previous heroines. However she did an outstanding job with Asuza and her character development. I was also pleasantly surprised how some really big plot moments happened in the most epic way throughtout the story. Really memorable stuff that's definitely worth reading.

However a big flaw of Ikeyamada Go is her terrible habit of spoiling things before they happen and that occurred a few times unfortunately.

I definitely recommend people to give this manga a shot and stick to it because it's so worth it. The best compliment I can give is this: when I started reading, my expectations were as low as they could possible be because I disliked Ikeyamada Go's works prior to this. However, it immediately hooked me up in a way I never expected. I stayed up late almost 3 hours past my bed time because I just couldn't stop reading chapter after chapter. Now that I'm done with the whole manga, I can surprisingly say that I'm a fan of her work now. It took several years to get to this manga but I'm really happy that I decided to give another work of hers a chance.

It's full of tropes of manga and romance in general like everything that Go Ikeyamada writes. It's very fun to read and this manga is my favorite of all the manga that Go Ikeyamada writes, it's better written throughout. It may sound or look like boring/cliched stuff and nerd stuff like everything that the author usually does. There's lots of romance in it to enjoy, and sad moments too... I kind of feel relatable to Azusa's character a bit, I found the story very enjoyable to the point where I was laughing and getting the great heart-throbbing feeling I love getting from shoujo manga and ... anime. I loved to read this manga very much, and definitely re-read it. I suggest you do not read anything from Go Ikeyamada. Her art is basic, cute, sexy, etc well some of it was all ecchi/sexy stuff... i can't thank Go Ikeyamada enough for making this manga, hope that i can find more manga like this and very enjoyable like this one again.
Thank you.
