+ childhood friends to lovers! nothing much,, just two best friends who fell for each other—well, there was a one-sided pining from ML
+ i think it was cute? it was just a typical highschool love story HAHSHA i guess what i liked about it was ML's sincerity :)) he never deflected or declined his feelings for MC ᐠ( ᐢ ᵕ ᐢ )ᐟ
+ the pacing on MC's part was kind of fast, ngl i think he fell too fast? but i also kind of get it because they were literally stuck together ever since~ he probably just realized he also had sights for ML and never actually acknowledged it
+ overall, it was a wholesome read ^0^ no miscommunication or annoying conflicts just two friends who fucked around (not literally) and found out they were better off as boyfriends (⁎˃ᴗ˂⁎) art is pretty too

+ best friends to parents to lovers !!!! hehehe ૮(˶ᵔᵕᵔ˶)ა i haven't read about this kind of trope yet (i think?) AND I'M SO HERE FOR IT this is actually one of my delusions,, because how awesome is that to take care of a kid with your bff ???? THE DREAM! (don't judge) also, why is this so underrated
+ the MCs dynamics as parents though SO ADORBS !!! mako's having the time of her life inside of that fun household their personalities and goofiness make up a loving home ( ˶ˊᜊˋ˶ )
+ i love how they were probably both pining for each other, but because of ML's past, he never realized that he was actually in love with his best friend :'(( i love how mako was acting like their counselor LMAO! she saw right through them their conversation as a family was very emotional,, i'm so happy they got their happy ending
+ GUYS! the time skip we need moooooreeee !!! they were soooo freaking wholesome (◞‸◟♡) mako grew to be such a beautiful and mature young lady >< while the two lovebirds are still as in love as ever i love them !!! i want what they have !!! the art is gorgeous too i wish there were more stories with this kind of trope & dynamic (◍•ᴗ•◍)
