First of all it opens on a time skip in the year 2030 and we see the FL alone reminiscing on her past in high school with her group of male childhood friends in high school. This is where the main story plays out starting in the summer of 2020. Like our 2020 there is a pandemic going on school events being cancelled and the group of friends and trying to peruse the glory days of their youth while in it. Because of the covid factor the typical high school shojo tropes / activities are not taking place which makes this stand apart while also leaving the reader sad for the group.
The writing is really good at making every one in the friend group loveable and the FL is sweet. You can feel the love everyone has for each other both romantically (even in the early stages) but also platonically. This time skip is a bit stress educing because as a reader you want to know who she ends up with if anyone?! It feels like there an impending doom reading it for some reason.. There is weird foreshadowing for something more dramatic than a break up among childhood friends. On the fun side there is an ikemen Olympics happening in this manga. Seriously beautiful art work and writing.
