10/10 Made my heart skip bruh Loved it because romance sucks but this makes me wanna get into it Naruse best boy 9/10 in looks so hot Main girl was a bit annoying but she's fine as heck too The misunderstandings were the worst got me jumping on my bed and rolling down the wall I hope they make this an anime lol imo Shou is hot hot hot I simp Ion wanna write more. Fine. Hated how it got dragged on to after high school and hated the fact they introduced the worst kind of "boys" I also hated the fact they made them all fall for the main girl like noooleave some for me. The other girls were a bit annoying plus main girl shouldn't be so worked up over everything just let him kiss your lucky @ss.
Being the eldest child of a large family, Yuki Machida was forced to become the responsible one of her many siblings at a very young age. Accustomed to making sacrifices for them, she is all too familiar with disappointment and the pain of suppressing her true feelings. Though expecting nothing to become of them, Machida becomes the basketball club manager in order to be closer to her crush. But at the start of the new school year, Shou Naruse joins the team. He is extremely talented... and has taken an interest in Machida. Stoic-faced and cold, she is unfazed by his advances, despite how relentless he is when it comes to winning her love—from kissing her with no warning to asking for permission to grope her. Keeping her cool and focusing on basketball becomes a much more difficult task when Naruse makes no effort to conceal his desires. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
Why I have mixed feelings about this one? Well let's start with the good part. - Good part: Naruse is a good ML who is persistent even after all the backlashes from FL. The author has shown some really good moments, good comedy, good intimate scenes and the way they grow up together since high school. It tries to entail all hardships that a couple goes through and get out of them. - Bad part: The author did not develop FL character throughout the manga. She never learns from here mistakes, does stupid things and is frustrating a lot of times. There are times when authorforced difficulties in their relationship where it was not at all needed. It is a good read but gets a bit repetitive over time. Really liked the side couples in the story.
Yo, I ain’t a reviewer and I have never reviewed a manga before but this manga pissed me off so much that I had to write about it. First of all, Yuki, (the female protagonist) doesn’t take any of Naruse’s (the male protagonist) feelings in consideration. Let’s say if you had a partner, and a friend of the opposite sex just kissed her or hugged her. How would you feel? How would you feel if your partner talks about things that they should be talking about with you to that friend. How would you feel if that friend has conveyed their feelings to your partnerand your partner is still in contact with them? Every chapter is always the same shit but it gets worse. First someone hugs her, then someone kisses her. In the end, the male protagonist doesn’t do anything about it and Yuki continues to give that “friend” attention. Along with this comes with a sense that Yuki thinks she’s “changing”. I may be speaking from personal experience, I may be insecure and have trust issues. But Yuki annoys me so much. Naruse deserves better. If she saw Naruse get hugged, or even kissed by another girl. How would she feel? Terrible right? So why can’t Yuki put herself in Naruse’s shoes and try and understand what all these things make him feel. If you wanna read this manga, get ready for a terribly written, but sometimes wholesome manga. Also, if you have had past relationships like this, I completely understand.
So late on this manga but I finished it yesterday and absolutely loved it! The artwork is nice and progressively gets better, I loved how fast pace the story was. usually, we need to wait a bit longer for the romance to begin but the ML was straightforward about it. Need a bit of patience with the FL as she can have some very annoying moments, but the whole point is their growth development and them navigating their relationship all through high school :) some moments were frustrating but overall the story is sooooo cute and I'd die to have a boyfriend like Naruse :3<3 so excited to read the last few chapters releasing this March!
I'm honestly not sure how to feel about this one. The first quarter of the series is great. The characters (in theory) are amazing. The concept is very enticing and I feel like I blew past the first part of this series. The second quarter builds up a lot of expectation, but nothing ever happens. The third quarter is an absolute repetitive pit where ideas to to die. It was almost unbearable to see a protagonist that refuses to change, refuses to get better, to learn, to become kind. She has no dreams, nothing to look forward to (not even the LI). I fell in love withevery single character of this series but the lead ruined the entire story for me. I have to say the author actually did something decent and finished the series in a very nice and original way that made the nightmare of those 40-something unbearable chapters feel like a dream of the past. I guess I'm glad I read it but I'm also glad it's done and I don't have to go through this again.
