The following review is in English and Spanish (translated with the support of DeepL)

The version read is the Spanish translation by Oppenheimer.

The series is originally uploaded on the artist's Twitter until it receives a serialization, hence it is quite short in length in general and in the same chapter, on average each one doesn't exceed 10 pages. Its core remained constant throughout its story, cute reactions from its leading couple to inspire tenderness in the reader.

When reading the first chapters you know what you are getting into, it is an idealization sustained in tender expressions, in the course of the episodes there will be no ... deepening or complexity beyond a few obstacles in the establishment of their relationship, which are resolved almost immediately, in line precisely to get to the “important”, continue to enjoy their funny reactions.

It should be noted that it is not only the girl who has these reactions, the boy is not exactly a perfect guy, on numerous occasions he will also have some monologues to highlight his doubts as well as being just as expressive. Even when the couple has numerous advances in the course of the story, each of these new steps is still accompanied by those marked blushes.

The drawing is simple in approach and detail, there are no particularly outstanding panels for positioning alone, the main thing is the reactions, which even being the same in terms of intention do vary in expression, relieving a little wear and tear. It should be noted that several chapters are in color in pastel tones, achieving a nice finish, in line with the intention of the work.

Yet there is a difference between a series seen on twitter occasionally, or in a magazine on a weekly basis, than in a continuous reading. Its main feature is readily assumed and its more feasible to end up exhausted of the same idea presented in the same way, even if it has some variations in its presentation and context.

I especially consider it a pity that it had not been reused, from time to time, its idea present in the title, the “Sanpaku” eyes. They constitute a certain Asian myth that for the purposes of the narrative is simplified as “scary”, and it's so during the first episodes, but in the course the idea is completely left behind, wasting what would have been a welcome comic relief for one or another episode.

Its lessons get down to shoujo platitudes, about loving while thinking about the present rather than dwelling on what may be in the future, reflections you're used to if you frequent the genre, but this time accompanied by some especially amusing and heartwarming reactions.

Spanish

La serie originalmente es subida en el Twitter del dibujante hasta que recibe una serialización, de ahí que sea bastante corta de duración en general y en el mismo capítulo, en promedio cada cuál no supera las 10 páginas. Su núcleo se mantuvo constante a lo largo de su historia, reacciones lindas por parte de su pareja protagónica para inspirar ternura en el lector.

Al leer los primeros capítulo sabes a lo que estás entrando, es una idealización sostenida en tiernas expresiones, en el transcurso de los episodios no habrá profundización ni complejidad más allá de algunos cuántos obstáculos en el establecimiento de su relación, los cuáles son resueltos casi de inmediato, en línea de precisamente llegar a lo “importante”, seguir disfrutando de sus divertidas reacciones.

A destacar que no es únicamente la chica quien tiene esas reacciones, el chico no es exactamente un galán perfecto, en numerosas ocasiones también tendrá algunos monólogos para resaltar sus dudas además de ser igual de expresivo. Aún cuando la pareja tiene numerosos avances en el transcurso de la historia, cada uno de esos nuevos pasos sigue acompañado de esos marcados sonrojos.

El dibujo es sencillo en planteamiento y detalle, no hay paneles especialmente destacables por sólo posicionamiento, lo central son las reacciones, que aún siendo la misma en cuánto a intención sí varían en expresión, aliviando un poco el desgaste. A destacar que varios capítulos están a color en tonos pasteles, consiguiendo un bonito acabado, en línea con la intención de la obra.

Aún así hay una diferencia entre una serie vista en twitter de forma ocasional, o en una revista de manera semanal, que en una lectura continua. Su principal característica es prontamente asumida y es más factible terminar agotado de la misma idea presentada de la misma forma, aún si tiene algunas variaciones en su presentación y contexto. 

Especialmente considero una lástima que no hubiese sido reutilizado, de vez en cuándo, su idea presente en el título, los ojos “Sanpaku”. Constituyen cierto mito asiático que a efectos de la narrativa es simplificado como “aterradores”, y es así durante los primeros episodios, más en el transcurso la idea es completamente dejada atrás, desperdiciando lo que hubiese sido un agradecible alivio cómico para uno que otro episodio.

Sus lecciones llegan a los lugares comunes del Shoujo, sobre amar pensando en el presente en vez de atormentarse en lo que tal vez será un futuro, reflexiones que estás acostumbrado si frecuentas el género, pero está vez acompañadas unas, especialmente, divertidas y enternecedoras reacciones.

Well this is as wholesome as it get's folks...

this is a story about a girl with sanpaku eyes with some romance, cuteness elements to it... that's about it

I really don't know why I like this, maybe it's the reason that this the girl is acting so cute every time especially when thinking or being with her boyfriend

the're really isn't anything I can say about this series because is just that, a story of a girl with sanpaku eyes with her boyfriend being cute everytime, so to sum it up a slice of life, romance, comedic, WHOLESOME series.

This is the romance manga you've been looking for. Tired of getting blue balled by the author and needing to wait 200 chapters to see the main characters call each other by their first names? Not here. It likes to set up little romance tropes like that, but ACTUALLY follows through on them usually in the same chapter they're set up in.

I have literally nothing to complain about when it comes to this manga. The chapters are short enough to be easily digestible (usually around 10-15 pages or so), the art is beautiful, and the story is incredibly wholesome. 10/10 all around.
