[Page 9 - I love how the romance develops within the friendship in this story. The miscommunication between them is natural, and not overdone. 3*] [Page 45 - The younger of two childhood friends refuses to hide his feelings, and the elder is relieved to go with the flow. Cute and simple. 2*] [Page 64 - Night and day students become friends due to candy left behind in the desk. Romance ensues. 3*] [Page 98 - Bromance develops into romance just as these friends are inevitably parted. Sweet. 3*] [Page 116 - Four leaf clovers and kindness form a connection between a chronically ill student and his energetic classmate. Love it. 3*] [Page 154- I love the family in this story. They're so welcoming to a stranger, yet hands-off his decisions. It's lovely. I also enjoy how gradually the relationship develops, too, and the ways they interact with each other. (Add in a gorgeous musician, and I'm guaranteed to read this again and again.) 4*] I always enjoy the art, pacing, and emotional flow of this artist's stories, even the most basic plots.
