I love this manga!!!

When I first started reading it a few years ago, the plot really struck me. I found it interesting, but ended up dropping it because I had my own gender biases at the time. Interestingly, about 2 weeks ago, I started thinking about this plot and wondered about the name of the manga. I ended up finding it while looking up other mangas to read! I was thrilled to have found this manga again, and actually finished it in a week!

Regardless of your nationality, it might be hard for some to understand the imagine how the stereotypes depicted in this story could ... be possible. However, I can testify that the biases, social norms, and social pressure to act according to your own gender is no joke in some places around the world. Because of this, I am thankful for Kanno sensei for bringing this contradictory issue to light. It is not only important to those who face discrimination to be heard, but also to those who have no idea of their own subconscious biases to read about a different point of view.

This manga has taught me a lot about how to stay true to yourself and love yourself while you love others. All the characters were lovable, and the relationship between Asuka and Ryo was epic! The ending was also very satisfying!!

This is the third manga/anime I am reading by Ueda sensei, and to be honest, the progress of the relationships are very similar if not the same. Although it was interesting to see that there is a high school that specializes in marriage, there is nothing more to add to how the characters encountered different events in this school, as compared to characters in other settings in sensei's other series.

I think I was disappointed in how repetitive the plot was in regards to how there were always mishaps and misunderstandings between the two main characters before they got together. There was also always an annoying ... second female lead, and the second male lead would come out to save the day or something... I think I got bored of that storyline after reading/watching it over and over again. The art style also did not change much, which kind of shows the inflexibility of the mangaka as well. I wish this series would have been more dynamic because marriage is a topic that is treasured by a lot of girls.

One thing I did enjoy though was the relationship between the second couple! I was surprised how things went, and I definitely shipped them more than the main couple lol.
