Rereading it made me realised their relationship progress way too fast, and I didn't remember Yamato being so チャラい

This is a nostalgia driven 5 star read for me for sure but I forgot why I loved it so much and it didn't disappoint me at all. There is something so sincere about the writing in this and I am so glad I picked it back up this year for a reread.

I saw this anime when it aired last year, I absolutely loved it, so you can imagine how happy and how much I bounced around when I heard that Kodansha would publish the manga in English!

And now it is here, and I can honestly say, the anime did a great job. The manga pretty much is the same as the anime, but it is still enjoyable and fun.

I love Mei, she is a cute character, though I think it is a shame that she gave up on friends and such, never tried it again. Though I know the feeling, girls can be very mean towards each other. If you have too much boobs they will bitch at you, if you are a bit too tame they will run over you or use you. But I am happy that she met Yamato, and that he is there for her and led her to a life with more happiness and fun.
I also love how kick-ass at times she was. Defending her new friends? Roundhouse kicking Yamato? Awesome girl. :)

Yamato, ah, Yamato. Sorry, fangirling here. I absolutely love him. He has a lot to learn about girls, but I think so far he is doing an excellent job, and he is really sweet with Mei. I love how defensive he is about his friends or people he cares about.

Then we have the romance, ah, swoon. I loved it, there is a big amount of kisses and romantic moments and I cannot wait to see how this will continue and grow. I cannot wait for the moment that Mei will speak those words: "I love you." to Yamato. :)

The art-style is at times a bit weird (stick people or chibified people), but at most times the art is gorgeous, I love the big eyes of the girls and I love how the characters are drawn.

I pre-ordered book 2 to 4 and will also continue pre-ordering and reading this manga. And I would really recommend it to everyone who needs some romance and comedy in their lives.

I remember reading a lot of this series when I was younger. The first volume was cute enough, though it has its cringy moments.
