Hear me out okay. I really enjoy the dynamic of their relationship and the manga is actually really cute. The characters standalone are also quite cute in personality and design, I love the artstyle and think it's adorable. HOWEVER, it might just be a personal thing but I hate hate hate the type of stories like this where I feel likethey've made the characters siblings for no reason, I know they're technically not siblings but it gives me the ick. In my mind whilst reading this manga I feel as if I have to simultaniously make them out to just be childhood friends or something ... in my mind as to not feel kinda uncomfortable. The manga is solid, I just hate the whole "siblings but not siblings" shitck.

While I stay unsure on what to feel about the ethical implications of romance between two people who grew up thinking they were siblings, ignoring that makes the manga quite an enjoyable read.

At its core, it’s really just a simple, cute high school romance manga that provides sufficient (comedic) entertainment and cuteness for anyone into the romance genre. Beyond the romance, though, there’s the occasional wholesomeness from the twins’ friendships with others and the subtle mentions of careers and the future. The manga makes it a point to also show us glimpses of the relationship between their two friends, which is always a nice break ... from the main romance.

Plus, good god, that art is cute as heck. Definitely an easy recommendation for a chill manga to binge. (I do look forward to whether or not it’ll pick up a semi-serious plot with regard to careers and the future, though.)

I'll be honest, I'm not too hot on love-triangles or squares or pentagons or anything like that. I'm very much so someone who's biased towards manga and shows that have a obvious main couple and lack a harem. However that being said this manga isn't too bad.

Beyond the whole "sibling" thing the actual idea that relationships feel real isn't that big of an overstatement. The romance parts feel real enough without feeling too real to the point where it's bland and the actual interactions between the main cast is real fun and interesting to watch.

There is this weird love-triangle diagonal cross thing going on and ... though I'm not too ecstatic about that I see this manga ending in the typical main girl + main guy and the two side characters and I can't really complain.

Also the perceived antagonists are pretty good, they're not shallow enough to be mad at a loss but have some real motivation to get in the way of people like Kouki.

Not a masterpiece, but pretty mediocre in my eyes.

It's cute, enjoyable, with a solid core of characters, realistic teens, alive, steadily developed thorughout the 90 chapters. Still, the story is very typical for the genre, nothing that unique, no element of it was entirely new. I liked the arc on Kouki's sport, a bit of a pity that it stayed so isolated from the following story and the theme didn't come back. The artstyle is simple, almost essential, fits perfectly with the story.
The ending was rushed, extremely so for a story that went with a very slow and relaxed pace for almost 90 chapters. I didn't even realise that was meant to ... be an ending before seing the "End" banner on md.
