A Redemption arc without needing iseki or time travel feels rare and productive discussion in order to clear up misconceptions without 50 chapter of nonense feels rarer. Enter Anata no Sasageru. Not exceptionalor innovative but pleasant and entertaining short read. the plot is based on miscommunication and misinterpretation but I support any manga that clears up issues realistically aka in one lifetime. It falls apart toward the end and has some tropes that seem unnecessary but overall cute.

Art is good. Again, nothing innovative and unique but beautiful none the less.
Character strengths: more multidimensional than anticipated and most show growth even in the ... few short chapters. The only unpleasantly outlandish character is the dad

It’s only 18 chapters, why not try it?

Art (6)

Unique but not too unique as to where you might accidentally consider the story good. The lines were clean and the panel spacing was deliberate enough.

Characters (???)

I can say without a shadow of a doubt that absolutely none of the characters make sense… This is, of course, bad; but so so entertaining. Random plot points are pulled out of the ass of nearly every single character, which they BARELY manage to make work and is so obviously shoehorned in to make the ending fluffier. If any of the characters thought for half a millisecond then the story would have ended on the first chapter. ... Which again is obviously bad but I cant help to find it hilarious.

There were only three characters I particularly enjoyed, one of them was the comically evil dad and the other showed up in maybe 2 short scenes, thats not exactly a great look for a character-focused story.

Story (4)

If you're looking for something relaxing to read look elsewhere, it nearly felt like there was a plot point in every single chapter. That speed can have its advantages but in here about halfway through it feels more like the adrenaline wore off and you were just waiting for the end. Even with the pacing the writing must have been the biggest contributor towards ruin, instead of showing romance it's more like they held up a sign saying ‘romance’ and we’re just supposed to go along with it… that could have been excused if this wasnt literally a romance manga.

All in all, this is the kind of manga you can forget within 30 minutes of reading it, which is for the best since remembering it will just give you a headache.
