Really really loved it.....
Each character in the story were well fleshed out and there was a sort of human-ness(I dont think thats even a word) to them....Its just that to me, even the ones that seemed like bad hearted characters didnt seem so bad at the end and all our main characters were too damn lovable.There were small arcs for each character which made me clise to these characters. I felt like I was watching over their growth.
I came here for some romance which wasnt much but I'm still fine with how their relation panned out.
Every person in the world is talented in one way ... or the other, you just have to keep going at it.
This was for sure a bumpy ride but im happy with how it ended...

Tetsugaku Letra is like that piece of cake that you want just one more bite.

The story reels you in, every single chapter. It’s so painfully realistic, without the frills and bells of school life manga, while being so wonderful warm in its simple storytelling. To be honest, I fell in love quickly with the characters. Fujimoto, Ichinose, Kikuchi, Ishikawa... loveable dorks who try their best in ever way. Echoing the fact that it’s very realistic: all our protagonists have something they feel bad about, something that makes them feel like trash. This manga doesn’t offer a solution. There’s no character arc or anything, like where ... a character overcomes his shortcomings and learns from it. Their struggles may resonate with you — it’s simply a manga about a group of boys slowly working towards their goals, nothing more. A short story of some average boys in everyday life.

You’ll notice this isn’t tagged “romance”. That’s because it isn’t. I did expect some, but came out disappointed. That’s because the “love interests” have mutual respect but not to the point of romantic love. I think their relationship could develop more with the help of more chapters, but this manga is a story that stands without romance.

The art style with all the inky lines have an old 90’s anime style to them which was lovely. Character designs are also good! Overall it’s very clean and pretty.

This manga is good, but I wasn’t fully satisfied. It’s like taking a walk through a charming little garden, or having the grandest dream but then waking up. It’s a little snapshot of daily life, and even though the details are hazy in my mind, it’s gives such a warm and comfy feeling. Read this, get up and stop feeling sorry for yourself. Let’s all work earnestly towards our goals like these boys.

This is my first review and it won't be detailed or good either.
I chose to write this review to show how disappointed I'm in this manga. I went in expecting to read a romance manga about two peculiar characters who overcome their trauma, instead, I got quasi-dancing manga(who to be honest didn't really represent that either) with flawed side-characters and their trauma which itself wouldn't be so bad if they weren't so damn pathetic. From "cuckolding" and cheating to enabling toxic relationships.
(spoilers) Now to the main story. The premise presents the mc and the female lead having an important encounter that ... defines the entire story. The part that I really hate is that the main characters are like two parallel lines that never met. I hoped to the final chapter that they met and talk about their lives and such, yet it's like a bad shounen/romance anime with annoying tropes and cliche.Really disappointing(for me).
