The first volume was sweet, adorable, relaxed and cheerful. I really liked it. It was like breath of fresh air. It was kinda slow, but I guess slice-of-life manga are slow in general. I loved all the character relationships and want to read more about them. Overall, I'll continue with this one.

Actual Rating: 4.5. Awwwww this was really cuuuuuute!!! Its exactly what I needed right now!

This was just a really wholesome, sincere, and funny little manga about two people getting to know one another. I really like the message behind this and think the art/writing conveyed that effectively.

The only reason I took .5 off is because some of the female characters were a little stereotypical, and there is some not-amazing gay jokes thrown in for good measure. Honestly, that’s kind of par for the course for manga in this genre so it didn’t bother me too much, but I wanted to note it nonetheless.

I will definitely be reading more of this series!! This was super cute and I am now incredibly invested in these characters!!

I recently watched the anime and I loved it so decided to pick up the manga as I've been told the anime skips over a lot of content. And it really does! There's so much more in the manga - will definitely be reading more! A new top 10 for sure :)

I guess from what I've seen about this book, I'm clearly the unpopular opinion here.

I'm not a huge fan of Miyamura, his characterization is kinda weak.
Also, I didn't like the choppy timeline.

I know I took a while, but that wasn't the book's fault.

I watched the anime first, so of course I had to read the manga. I liked it! Can't wait to read book 2!

Not sure about this series, I’ll give the second volume a go and see if it grows on me. I was told by several people that I’d love this because I love Yotsuba, but I can’t see how the two are in any way alike to be honest? I was expecting the tone to be similar, at least, but it’s not.
