This is absolutely my favorite manga of all time. I remember the first time I read it. It was just starting to be scanlated and I was always checking in with the team who did it. I was obsessed. I wanted to read it so badly. Reading about how she falls in love and about her trials. I felt I could relate. As I had experienced a love like that with beautiful, painful and embarrassing moments just as Shina. I was in my last year of middle school (just like her) and I had this one male classmate that I fell in love with it was progressive but when I acknowledged it. It became intense. I had never felt such feelings. I became so aware of him and I just that Shina was the same as me. Unfortunately, I was never able to confess. I regretted it. I remember the last time I saw him I watched as he slowly walked away. So when I read this story I loved the strength of Shina to confess her love. She was young and it allowed her to impulsive. The readers may get annoyed with her emotional outbreaks but it’s part of her impulsiveness and her ability to express them without constraint. As we grow older we tend to keep emotions locked in due to society pressures or just to save face. And she acknowledges this at the end that she wouldn’t have been able to do it if not for her younger self.
I recommended this story from the bottom of my heart as it makes me feel emotions that I keep locked up.
