I'm familiar with Ikeyamada Go's writting style and I'm very pleased with how much she grew over the years. This manga is much more mature and better written throughout. The fact that it tackles something very real in her life (and her staff's lives) are probably factors that helped in improving the quality of this manga she wrote.

I started reading it without expecting much because I considered Ikeyamada Go's ideas to be very repetitive, basic, sexist and outright problematic. I'm very happy to say that my expectations were 99% wrong and therefore this was much more enjoyable than what I initially thought. There's still ...

It's a simple manga, like everything that Go Ikeyamada writes. Very fun to read, full of tropes of manga and romance in general. I like the main characters and the romance is very simple, so if that's what you looking for, go for it. Full of nerd stuff like everything that the author usually does. Very fun to read, the characters are funny and you usually cheer for them.
Though, if you dont like cliched stuff, I suggest you to not read anything from Go Ikeyamada.
Her art its waaay too ....Idk how to explain, its too much sometimes, but its cute if you like it. ...

I kind of feel relatable to Azusa's character a bit, I found the story very enjoyable to the point where I was laughing and getting the great heart-throbbing feeling I love getting from shoujo manga and ...
