Secret XXX

TLDR: This manga is a wonderful short read that I'd highly recommend to anyone who wants something that's cute and doesn't mind a moderate amount of smut. Story: 8 I'm not gonna say anything specific about the story since 1) others already have/the synopsis does a fine job and 2) I went into the manga not knowing much at all, and I think it was better that way. Overall the plot was quite good, nothing too crazy EXCEPT for the second/third chapters. I don't want to spoil or allude to what happens, but for me those chapters were my favourite part. The rest is still good, butwow was I thrown for loop during chapter two/three. I'd also like to mention that I loved how characters' pasts were explained and everything felt resolved at the conclusion, with no loose ends.The story flowed nicely, was never boring, and I felt the relationship between Shohei and Mito was developed very, very well. Art: 10 What else can I say other than it's simply BEAUTIFUL. Seriously! It seems like a lot of care was put in to every panel to make it as nice as possible. Something about the art felt really refreshing and I found myself constantly admiring it. Characters: 9 I can't think of a single thing I disliked about the characters. Shohei and Mito were wonderful mains, with Mito in particular being quite fascinating. Their dynamic and interactions were constantly entertaining (and adorable, for the most part! I'd say what it was like in the smut scenes but you'll have to see for yourself ;) ) and I really loved seeing them grow as people and have good conversations together. Now, I seriously have to mention that there's one character I couldn't get enough of and who, though I really didn't like him at first, surprisingly became my favourite. Is it a spoiler to mention him? Maybe? Well at the very least, I'll confess it was Minato. I really want to say why but for the sake of not spoiling, I won't :) Really though, I was planning on reading Therapy Game anyway, but now I'm extremely excited to read it and see more of him. Enjoyment: 10 There really is nothing bad I can say about this manga (other than it was too short, and only one volume >.<). I had a lot of fun reading it and fell in love with all the characters and their lives. It made me laugh, smile, and gasp. I'm so glad there's a spin off, because I'd feel so sad if it all ended here. So yeah, I love this manga. A lot. I definitely recommend it! But do know that it has a fair amount of smut, and it's very graphic. If you can tolerate that/if that's your thing, and you want a cute manga with a fun story, then you should totally read this little gem :)
