 Don't mind me logging and rating my mangas that I forgot to log. There are a lot of mangas that I haven't logged. I remembered to log because I log most of my reads on Notion. Shout out to Notion.
I remember binge-reading every volume of this on my phone. Sawako is so adorable I want to keep her in my pocket forever. Sawako and Kazehaya will always have my heart. The friendship between Sawako, Ayane, and Chizuru is just so beautiful and heartwarming. I cried and laughed a lot while reading this. Good memories. This manga has been my standard in shoujo mangas for a long time.

This is pretty much what I was expecting “The Wallflower” to be like.

It’s a super sweet shojo that I would recommend to anyone who is interested in shojo manga and doesn’t mind creepy/disturbing images. (It’s not that bad, it’s actually pretty funny but I know some people don’t like those things.)

This is full of cliches (ex. Love interest is the “prince of the school”) but handles them well. The art is dated but bearable and can be super sweet.

This is one of the cutest, sweetest animes and the manga looks like it's going to be the same. I cannot handle how well done this one is.

A good introduction to the series, I found all the character are loveable and I couldn't put it down.

This was cute and fluffy. I like Sawako a lot and LOVE how positive she is. Yoshida and Yano are cool too, and I like their friendship dynamic with Sawako. Kazehaya is a nice character, but I feel like he's a "too good to be true" shoujo protagonist. Despite that, he's an overwhelmingly positive influence for Sawako and I enjoy their interactions.

I'll probably read the next volume just to see where the story goes now that a lot of the cast is established, but I'm not 100% committed to the series. That being said, this was a nice start and I recommend people give it a shot if they're looking for a cute, fluffy shoujo recommendation.
