My ratings:
Story is 6 (fair).

Art is 8 (very good). I like the art style; it's clean and cute

Character is 8 (very good). The other two members of the student council shine to me! I love them and their roles. I also like Miyu herself, because she is earnest and doesn't shy away from hard work. It's Kousei who I have hard time actually liking.

My personal enjoyment is 6 (fair). I liked how it started but felt very uncomfortable halfway in, because I don't like how Kousei treated Miyu, even though I get that he's in a difficult position.

Overall is 7 (good).

This is a really nice, cute, & simple story that had elements I really enjoyed (protective shielding hands over eyes, bffs leaning back to back) and needed (a MC female whose character is credible, dignified, and Not a crybaby). There are so many stories out there that just tell me that two characters are best friends; whereas there are actualy signs of it here, and flashbacks and a childhood photobook (!!! ❤️)

There were some times when I thought that the MC male should've been gentler, but I think it was more of the mangaka's way of showing that Kaede grew up to be ... a strong man, and not intending that he was too physically rough with Rii.

I'm giving this an 8 because if you take it as it is and don't compare it to anything else, it's just a short, simple, and sweet story of how a pair gets together. There was no fuss, no rivals, and no overly-extended drama, which is exactly what I was looking for and needed when I stumbled across this manga.

Breakdown:
6 for story because it's very plain and straightforward, and nothing really mind-blowingly new.

7 for art because it's fine. Not terrible, not strikingly beautiful.

8 for characters because I like them well enough. Female MC is caring and...actually, male MC is caring, too, in his own ... dual behavior way.

8 for enjoyment (more like 8.5). I'm just personally very grateful this piece exists, because I needed a story without a super dense MC, rival that likes one of the MCs, and beating around the bush to reveal an identity.
