we all know that it's common in shoujo mangas to have a male lead that is a huge red flag. however, kazehaya shota have set the bar so high. he is so ideal that i cannot even find a well written character like him in other classic shoujo mangas before.
this manga doesn't solely focus on romance but the male lead is someone you'd wish to be your boyfriend. he is the type of person that would choose to communicate to you first before believing what he heard from other people.
they are so young here but the fact that both characters are so well written and is both a walking green flag, i couldn't wish for more. the male lead here is one of the most mature partner you could ever have. HE IS THE STANDARD.
if your love language is words of affirmation, this would make your heart flutter. they are both supportive and is always willing to assure you. aside from that they represent what it means to have a communication in a relationship. their relationship is the definition of HEALTHY.
their relationship is mature, the pace of their relationship is so ideal, slow but is continously progressing. if you are into romance that doesn't rush their relationship or is more on the mature adult relationship, you would like this.
who cares about your physical appearance, if the person loves you they love you for who you are. this is the definition of their relationship, i like how the male lead never made a fuss about the female leads appearance like the other characters did. he loved her for she is, he did not judge nor made fun of her interests.
even though i find the female lead to be abusive (her kinks is funny but forcing someone to do it for you even if the partner is uncomfortable about it isnot something i'd turn blind eye for/ also the fact that she bullies someone, it may be a joke for her or something the other party disregards i don't think that's okay) i gave her a chance because somehow when she's with the male lead it is bearable, she has good qualities that you may find likeable. BUT MIAMURA IS THE STAN
the male lead is the kind of person who reads the room so well, he is very considerate, appreciative and caring.
