I was probably starting uni when I first read this and my immature perception on romance made me root for Sensei that time. Now, probably 7 years later, reading this again made me see that Daiki deserved her from the very beginning. He was patient. He respected her boundaries and he showed how he genuinely cares about her. This kind of love is beyond their time back in hs. It's what adults usually long for a partner. Definitely a gem and I'd still keep on using Suzume as my ava xd
