Tbh the story wasn't all that bad... Nice storyline, Good portrayal for the characters, and ofc the stuttering representation was great.
Still I wouldn't say it's a good read, defo worth it because of the lesson about stuttering which is a disability type, the story made us understand "trying to help isn't always a way to show caring but also acceptance". BUUUUT lets be honest, the romance build up is a bit wonky.
Him admiring Takashina, is very understandable since Ruri does have a hard time smoothing out the way he talks. He defo likes talking but gets too self conscious cuz of his past trauma as well as his stuttering condition, which I'm glad he found Takashina to talk to. Suspiciously, if Takashina is the only person he befriended w/o the judgement (I would like to give Ruri a hug!!) then he shouldn't have seen him as a Lover. I'll tell you more after I analyze about Takashina.
On the other haaand, WHEN DID TAKASHINA like Ruri? did we miss something?? okay let's say he did took interest in Ruri when he invited him home. but uhmmm that feelings is too weak. Okay lets also again say his love grew when they spent more together, alright understandable. ANDDD then he labeled (basically jumped) Ruri into making his "new friend" title into ,"i like this guy" just cuz they kissed...
Frustratingly enough, that problematic villain girl was sooooooo DISTRUBING?!! In their day and age as a working adult, And she chose to be a bad bitch (literally). I get the whole work crush but the shit she did and the shit she received IS SOOO WORTH IT?!! Still I'm goad she did apologise in the ending.
Yeahh The only lacking is the romance potryal and also a cliche problem issue as a hindrance to the romance. Still author did achieve on making us hate her!!
