Kill Your Darling's manga / #Romance(163)

The main couple's story is a simple and sweet slow(ish) burn (considering it's a pretty short story) with an engaging enough conflict. It's all it needed to be for what it is. They don't get the healthy relationship tag cause while they're ultimately fine, they did have their faults, particularly Yukino's handling of Arata's feelings. That's not a mark against the story though, since it made sense in context. I'm glad the side-couple were put together in the extra story. Their implications of a low-key master-servant D/S dynamic was interesting and makes me wish we got to explore more of their situation. It was a very casual portrayal of that sort of thing and I found it conceptually intriguing. As always with these short "the goal is getting together" plots, I wish we got just a little more time with them post-relationship rather than just calling it done. Overall, it's a good low energy read, the art is pretty, and the characters are cute.

Main story is short and sweet, but very simple. Poorly translated. The second story is mid.
