In 2012, I remember watching the anime and really liking it, despite the crazy idea that involved the exchange of saliva between the characters, the anime was very romantic. I read the manga after the end of the anime, but I didn't finish it out of laziness, as it took a long time to come out. Then recently I remembered to pick up the manga again to read and I reread it from the beginning until I got to where I had left off (around ch.63) and finished it.

Overall, the manga is very enjoyable, despite being very episodic, with the topics starting and ... ending in the same chapter, with rare exceptions such as the school festival arc, where Tsubaki and Urabe participated in the production of a film, which lasted long chapters. The most interesting thing is that many chapters seem like poetry, there is always symbolism to represent the characters' emotions, which is something well elaborated. The "connection" that they mention so much is something I understand very well, as it is something I have with my wife, I believe it is the pattern of when you find true love.

Visually, I found it very beautiful, with lots of details, in addition to the art being very different, which gives the work a more particular look.
I remember that I liked the anime's soundtrack so much, that while reading the manga chapters, I would mentally fit the songs into some scenes to give it a little more effect.

The ending was decent, I think, a little disappointing in some ways, but Tsubaki's explanation at the end made some sense, although for me, it was mere cowardice. But that's okay, the characters are innocent young people, as is common in romantic mangas.

It's just a silly short manga about teenagers doing teenagers things.

The principal relationship does progress but only a little and the male protagonist is just a little too dumb and but at the end he gets a little less annoying.

This manga is for you if you only want a light thing to read and not pay a lot of attention, in total I think it's less than 2 or 3 hours of reading.

And the main couple progresses fast at the start so the annoying period of romantic manga where they don't confess even though they know their feelings isn't here.

I don't consider this a must ... read but at the same time it's isn't anything bad per se.

The anime is better btw, it makes the male protagonist a better character and gives it relationship a little more flesh so if you want first watch the anime ans then read the manga.
