I used to hate love polygons, but this series converted me. It will make you laugh, it will make you seethe, it will tug at your heartstrings, it will fill you with warm fluffy feelings.

There is drama. Oh boy, there is drama. But it's the fun kind of drama that makes you pull out the popcorn. Under the comedic tone and cute art, there's this very genuine, relatable story of teenage angst. Puberty can be a confusing time. Each of the characters is still growing, feeling their way around, and exploring love in their own way. Sometimes they make bad decisions, sometimes they jump ... to conclusions, sometimes they hurt each other. But it's through all the bumps and scrapes along the way that we learn and grow into our best selves. Sometimes, you just have to trust each other and talk things out.

In no particular order, I was quite fond of Eiji, Naohiko, Koharu, and Izumi by the end. Taichi and Ikezawa I wasn't as emotionally invested in, but they were also likable. With no spoilers, things started to feel a little rushed toward the end, but overall, the story was handled well. Overall, this was a fun read, and I recommend if you enjoy complex love polygons.
