A delightful little read and it was nice to finally read an LGBTQ+ romance that wasn't fetish-y asf. The main two girls are adorable in their own ways, Kirara being a very sweet and very gay panic character. Charming and trying her best, it's fun to watch her try and win over our blunt and grumpy Takebe. The story isn't meant to be bombastic, large and in your face - it's a slow burn, a pair of morons trying to figure out their relationship and it's meant to be a read that makes you feel warm and fuzzy. Also very good to get back into manga/animewith, beats any of the Shonen you could tell me is the best thing to ever grace our little planet
During her high school years, Takebe was the top dog at her school. But with her old friends now living as happy riajuu, Takebe was faced with an impending sense of crisis. Takebe thus resolved herself to quit delinquency, but the result of that was a fated meeting with her old rival, Soramori. Losing a fist-fight against Soramori, for some reason or other Takebe was now dating her. What kind of relationship did the two of them have back in high school? And would Takebe ever manage to graduate from delinquency...!? (Source: Kadokawa, translated)
Looking for an enemies to lovers that starts out right at that transition, and is a slow burn that's still binge-able and will keep you up 2 and a half hours past the time you planned on going to sleep because you just need to work your way through and see how it's going to end? If so, no you're not, you're not looking for it now because you've found it, and it's this. Granted, this is one of those manga that a lot would be solved by just communicating, but it's established early on that their communication styles (and general growing up) are differentthan average, and how it's affected them. That's the only gripe I have though, the rest is quite relatable and pretty damn cute most of the time.
