The synopsis sounded interesting and I was intrigued by the story, I thought it was going to be a short but angsty read seeing that it's only 9 chapters long. After reading it, I wonder if the author meant for the story to be longer but it had a bad public reception and it got dropped, IDK but it wouldn't surprise me if that was the case.
SPOILERS AHEAD
This manga is filled with dumb tropes and the way it's paced is atrocious. The main characters aren't even properly introduced, it felt like: so this is Matsuoka and now he's in love with the MC and this is creepy Miwa and he was friends with the MC and has always liked her but you wouldn't know because by their first interaction it didn't seem like they ever talked to each other before.
Plenty of plot holes.
Ayase's family being too OK with two boys that like her, basically living in the same house, felt a bit unnatural. In what world teenagers would just proclaim their love in front of their crush's family like its nothing and the family would just be a little surprised and then encourage them to hit on her? This probably was supposed to be seen as comedy, but it didn't feel funny at all.
Both boys are soooo unlikable from the start, Matsuoka being rude and emo, and Miwa being a creep, didn't make me root for neither of them. At least Matsuoka got a bit better development and became a kinda better character, but his conflict felt too forced and his growth too quick and sudden.
Miwa's conflict was just straight dumb shit and he never stopped acting like a freaking weird creep. I seriously never understood if he really liked Ayase and I don't really understand what his character added to the story besides being the third person left to form an unnecessary love triangle.
Ayase was a boring dull character, kind of the typical frail and kind female lead that has a strong side, but it just came out as a very dull character with basically no personality besides "being too scared of boys". TBH, all of the characters were pretty dull.
Honestly, reading this was hard, I generally always read at least 3 chapters just to give stories a chance, but I wanted to stop reading on chapter one. After chapter 3 I kept reading because I just wanted to see how much more absurd some plot lines would get, and at least I was not disappointed in that regard, it really got worse as it kept going. By chapter 7 I was just a few chapters away from the end so I just kept going, and the ending was just as bad as the rest. Pretty boring, very predictable and soooo not exciting.
Al in all, this was a waste of time for me.
