I was hesitant to read this at first, mostly because the cover made it look like the female lead is seriously annoyed by the male lead, but the reviews looked good, so I gave this a go.
My, oh, my, do I not regret giving this manga a chance.
The female lead is smart and genuinely likeable and the male lead is such an adorkable guy. Seriously. He's heartwarmingly sincere, which, I suppose, is what won the female lead over.
The art is cute but the characters themselves is what got me to give this a 10.
It's the type of story where I can see them telling their kids about how they fell in love. Where the female lead is shaking her head with fond exasperation as her husband tells their kids how he won mommy over with his everything.
The female lead is an actual decent human being and it's so depressing that that's such a rare thing in typical shoujo manga. The male lead is an earnest person, and neither of them are jerks. Seriously.
They hit a few bumps and react like any teenager would, but the story remains light and earnest. I ended up laughing out loud at some parts, which was a huge huge plus.
I was pretty teary at the end while smiling like a crazy person. Perfect ending. This was sweet, funny, and all in all a great read.
