Sonea's manga / #student x student(8)

Super duper cute! Also relatable, because dogs!! The uke's overthetop avoidance of intimacy was kind of annoying by the second half of the first volume, but the seme's absolutely amazing attitude and effort to communicate weighed it out. Second volume was in my opinion even better, and what merited an upgrade from 4 to 5 stars

I love how much thought went into this! It really was two people falling in love at different speeds and learning how to be in each other's lives. The fact that several 'loose threads' were left that way really appealed to me. We got to glimpse a hint of how things might develop, like how MC's mom gave him food when he moved out, but we never experienced that family conflict fully resolved. We are left believing that somehow, things just worked out.

So passionate! Everyone had something they were doing their best at and a goal they were pursuing! It's seriously cute and uplifting. Also loved the wide variety of characters. What I perhaps enjoyed most was the vivid personality of the MC - sensitive, hardworking, lonely but cheerful. Favorite scene was the part where he picked up the ML at the end. It kind of made me feel like 'yeah, that's being happy and in love'
