When I started reading this one, I was faced with the unnecessary and wrong insults about women. My initial thought was: "Is this a red flag?", however, I realised that it was just a part of the conversation the characters were having, they are discussing, in a way, how men and women act and their views on it, slowly understanding and learning from each other. To be precise: the mc is trying to understand girls and the fc is trying to understand boys. They definitely have more sensible and better conversations than most adults, the female lead especially, she acts very kindly and maturely towards other people too and, imo, she is amazing! I am also glad to see that she always stands up for herself and always answers to Azuma's (mc) generalization of women (which he picked up from his family/friends).
All of that makes their relationship (semi)realistic and I love the way it just progresses and deepens as the chapters keep going. It's very interesting to see the change of mc's feelings.
I guess they just left me lingering for more - I wanted to see more of their relationship, of their romance, true feelings, being actually serious with each other. That's where this one falls short, for me.
I also love how everything is revolved around a novel/literature in this manga, it's imbued in whole story and the title of the manga is very fitting and nice!

However, I'd like to adress the thing I absolutely didn't like here:
It's the relationship between Azuma and his aunts (that he keeps on mentioning). It's very problematic and weird. There's even a part in chapter 23 (I think) where he remembers his childhood when one of them offered to show him her b00bs. I understand that it was supposed to be taken as a joke or just comedy, in a way, but it didn't sit right with me.
