A gentle and emotionally rich series, this story is one that's left me with a whirlwind of feelings, some of which are difficult to put into words, and others that are quite bittersweet. With just four chapters, it seems that this tale leaves me pondering many things.
Narugami, the character, is a truly good guy. I am overjoyed that he's the kind of person who can bring happiness to Eiko's life. What's more, he deeply cares for his closest friends and wants nothing but the best for them. He's remarkable in his ability to see Eiko for who she is, just as Moe mentioned to her,
...
"If there's someone who truly understands you, they'll be head over heels for you." He possesses a unique perspective and isn't swayed by superficial appearances.
To be honest, as I read this story, I couldn't help but question, "Is this just friendship, or is it love?" I know it might sound cliché, but when I read the thoughts and actions of Moe towards Eiko, I couldn't stop wondering, "Could she be in love with her?" I understand that this story isn't a yuri tale. I know that.
I truly cried when Moe expressed her wishes for Eiko to be happier than anyone else in the world, to see her radiant smile, to make her happy, and to keep her from being sad or shedding tears. But she can't give Eiko a boyfriend, she can't give her the joy of being with someone she loves, and she can't provide her with the happiness of marriage and having children. "I can't give you those moments of happiness," she said. I know this is a deep and profound friendship, but reading these lines melted my heart and set it ablaze. I love her thoughts for Eiko.
I was genuinely saddened by something, but when I saw Eiko happy and read Moe's thoughts, my emotions became a mix of sadness and joy, much like how she feels. It's a feeling of not wanting your friend to leave, yet desiring her happiness.

I absolutely adore this manga series. The moment I laid eyes on it, I was impressed and delighted by the vintage art style, which left quite an impression on me. Given that this art style and the way manga is drawn are personal favorites of mine, I've grown extremely fond of reading this manga.
One of the aspects I particularly appreciate about this manga is the undeniable chemistry between the main characters, our "odd couple," Mit and Ito. I truly admire their friendship, even though it's not always explicitly highlighted in the story. You can still sense it through their actions and battles together.
Moreover, the comedic
...
elements in the story have often had me burst into laughter as I read, even during those late-night, sneaky reading sessions. Mit, a character with many flaws, still manages to lend a helping hand to friends in need. I'm especially drawn to the hilarious and mischievous facial expressions the artist gives Mit. This, in my opinion, is a major plus for the series. Mit's character truly elevates the manga, making it more enjoyable and fantastic. I appreciate how he interacts with everyone and how, despite his mischief, he doesn't harm anyone. His actions of stepping up to protect his friends are a big plus for his character.
Additionally, Itou is quite an admirable young man. His sincerity and kindness, particularly in his relationship with his girlfriend, have made me think of him as a cool character. While he may not excel in fighting like Mit, he still tries his best to protect his friends, enduring blows and standing firm. This contrast in their personalities doesn't hinder their friendship; in fact, it seems to strengthen it. They genuinely care about each other. Among all the male characters in the story, Itou is my favorite. I acknowledge that he doesn't appear as frequently as Mit, but I really appreciate his character.
It's not just the friendship between the two main characters that I admire; I also have a great deal of respect for the bond between Yasuo and Imai. They are like two peas in a pod, looking out for each other, protecting one another, and having fun together every day. I'd love to have such a close-knit friendship in real life, if I could make a wish. Imai may have a tough exterior, but he's actually very gentle and kind-hearted. Yasuo, who I don't yet understand as much, but I admire his unwavering trust in his friend Imai. His way of thinking and looking out for Imai is truly impressive. He is undoubtedly a kind-hearted individual.
If I were to talk about how I came across this manga, it was by pure chance when I stumbled upon a live-action clip online and fell head over heels for Kyoko, who is a charming actress. In the live-action, she made such comical facial expressions and portrayed a highly impressive character. This led me to seek out the manga as I wanted to see more of the romantic development between Ito and Kyoko. Although the manga has some differences, I am still extremely fond of the character Kyoko. However, my favorite female character remains Riko. She is strong and endearing. I am slightly disappointed that I haven't seen Mit and Riko's romantic relationship develop further, but the head pat he gave her near the end of a chapter was somewhat satisfying for me.
If you enjoy a manga that combines action and humor, this is the perfect series to read for entertainment after a tiring day of studying or working. I have a deep love for this manga.

I am deeply impressed by this comic series; it is a masterpiece. I feel a profound connection with the main character, who has led an incredibly sorrowful and painful life. All he wants is to be understood, but why do things turn out this way, where nobody can truly understand him?
I am filled with emotion for the character Itou. He inadvertently pushed the main character onto this path. He didn't want this to happen to the main character, and in the end, he cried. It's truly horrifying. Like the main character, he too wants society to accept his true self. Thanks to the main character,
...
he achieved that, but he couldn't foresee the impact of his actions on the main character, who now seems psychologically affected. I am in great pain because of this. I understand that he didn't mean to do wrong, he was just afraid of how his family and society would react if he revealed his true self. I don't want to excuse his actions. I both feel sorry for him and angry at everything he did to the main character. He cried at the end of the chapter, showing deep regret for his actions. I know, but I'm still angry with him.
The girl in the story is also quite pitiful. She, too, like the two characters mentioned earlier, tries to hide her true self and, in the end, has to leave. However, that is what ultimately led to her liberation. She no longer need to hide, as well as run from the world.
Killing a child can even be seen as a positive outcome. I'm not condoning child murder, but looking at it from a different angle, it might be a better outcome. No child should have to endure this, and no one should face society's discrimination based on their appearance rather than their true selves.
Our main character, to be honest, I'm not quite sure what emotions I'm feeling after finishing the series. I feel uneasy, conflicted, and sad. The feeling engulfs the room. I seem to think I can understand the main character, but at the same time, I can't understand him. He even makes it so that I can't understand who I am. The scene where he smiles and waves in the final chapter seems to make me want to cry but I can't. He's someone who needs saving but also doesn't want anyone to save him.
The ending of the story makes me feel like I'm lying on a bed, drifting in a vast ocean with warm air around, but my heart is incredibly painful and uncomfortable. I love this manga, but I can't read it again. I think I'm afraid of this manga, afraid of the emotions it has brought me.

To be honest, I initially thought this manga was going to be a great romcom story between two characters, and I was looking forward to the development of their relationship. It made me think, "This looks promising, definitely worth a read." But things took a turn for the worse when various other characters started interfering with the main romance.
Firstly, the third wheel character was quite predictable from the beginning, so I didn't find it too bothersome. In fact, I thought they might help the main characters' relationship develop further. However, things took an unexpected turn when the author introduced even more characters into the mix,
...
not just three but four. This was the point at which I started to think, "Is this manga getting worse? Should I drop it?" Despite these thoughts, I continued reading, believing it might lead to better character development for the two main characters.
Secondly, the constant infatuation of the supporting characters with the male lead and his one-dimensional, uninteresting character made it increasingly annoying. The other female characters continually falling for him while he remained unimpressive and lacked any qualities that justified the attraction from anyone other than the female lead.
Thirdly, what ultimately pushed me to "DECIDE" to drop the manga was the appearance of the female lead's younger sister and her inappropriate actions towards the male lead. Her behavior towards him, knowing that he was her sister's husband, was extremely distasteful and absurd. Other female supporting characters displayed similar behavior. There was even a scene involving the main character's wife's younger sister in a bath, which I found utterly unacceptable. This was the point at which the manga's quality took a nosedive for me.
In conclusion, I really enjoyed the manga's beginning, but I decided to drop it due to several factors I couldn't stomach. If you can overlook these issues and enjoy it, that's your prerogative. However, this is my negative perspective on the manga, and if you want a more in-depth understanding, you can still give it a read.

This manga really gave off a bad feeling. Throughout the entire manga, it seemed like frustration covered my mind.
Firstly, the main character Takashi, he is a loser and pathetic guy. Why could he just because of an outsider, yes, that was Sasaki, because of her he could push all his relatives, family, and even his best friend into misery. like those? they cried a lot, so much that he still said that it was worth sacrificing for her, Sasaki. So what about his family? Is he crazy or just a S.I.M.P guy?
secondly, the female character, Sasaki, I know her is the victim but can't she
...
see that she is wrong? I know how many people fell into fear, depression, injustice, and tears just because of what she did. Why not confess everything? Is she also a victim? Why let Takashi and his family bear the brunt of all the injustice suffered for so many years? If she hadn't done that, life would have been better and Takashi and his family and friends he wouldn't have to endure years of trauma.
Third, as the eldest sister in the family, I really cannot forgive my younger brother if he does something for a girl, causing the family to suffer all the trouble, even having to drop out of school. I would really hate him and not be like the older sister character in the story. The sister character is so wrong.
Finally, when reading the story, I really wanted to jump in and slap and hit the main character. Besides, the one I want to k*** the most is Sasaki.
DON'T ANYONE TELL ME THAT SHE'S JUST A VICTIM
Why do you do those just for a girl?
