Honestly, after that it was different from what i expected. But this series was unpredictable for me to some degree. That's probably another reason why i liked it so much, without giving to much away.
I also founded the other friendships to be healthy and wholesome.
Another Part of why I liked this manga so much is because of the main girl. Hiroka was really clingy with everyone. She's head strong and kinda "awkward" when it comes to love or to say it better Hiroka didn't understood romantic love or how it feels. She was definitely a breath of fresh air for me.
I particularly really enjoyed the "side story" because it was something different and very interesting to see the development.
So the story is really cute and funny. definitely a change from other romance manga series.
All in all, the development, the characters, were all really solid, and the artstyle is beautiful.
I really recommend this series.
