I guess I read a little too many Mangas with unbalanced pace, so I'm actually surprised the author had it balanced it here. It started fast, was fast in the middle and ended fast as well. Nice!
I mean, there were still slow moments, so it's not like it was constantly going back and forth. Overall the pace was balanced, without spending too much time on unnecessary drama.
There were still lots of misunderstands, but got cleared up quickly.
I also imagined the story a little different. I thought it would be typical Manga comedy with thousand chapters, where the MC desperately tries to approach their crush, but just ends up failing in a hilarious way. Basically what I think of when someone says "rom-com".
While there was still basic comedy of AniManga with the nose-bleeding, for example, the author did not "waste" many chapters on the approach. They actually go on a date already in the first volume.
But I'm not disappointed at all. It was a fresh breath for the genre.
What I didn't entirely like was that the main couple doesn't have that much chemistry... it's not non-existent or anything, but you probably wouldn't guess right away that they're together, if you were in a room with them. But that also kinda makes it more realistic?
On the other hand, the side couple was nice. Also a bit unexpected, as they had main-couple-energy.
It was cool overall tho. And cute. Recommend it.
