Our Precious Conversations

Boku to Kimi no Taisetsu na Hanashi is from the same author who created Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun or My little monster, It's a beautiful short story about a couple, starts with when our female lead Nozomi Aizawa confesses her feelings to Shirou Azuma. Shirou Azuma is the series' male lead; he is a bumbling airhead who is still popular in his class; on the other hand, Nozomi Aizawa is very adorable and is head over heals for him, you'll come to like every character in the end and the story flowed so beautifully. I loved this series because- - The romance was not rushed, not dragged. - Notdeep like other shoujo manga. - No serious love rival. - Side characters were super cute. - Art was Beautiful. I loved every page of this manga, and liked every character, especially Aizawa, she was so freaking cute lol, I wanted to define every side character in my review but I wanna keep it short. It was a great Shoujo manga. This series was shorter, but it ended in such a sweet way. I loved the characters throughout the series, and the ending was great. I enjoyed it sooo much. ;))

When I started reading this one, I was faced with the unnecessary and wrong insults about women. My initial thought was: "Is this a red flag?", however, I realised that it was just a part of the conversation the characters were having, they are discussing, in a way, how men and women act and their views on it, slowly understanding and learning from each other. To be precise: the mc is trying to understand girls and the fc is trying to understand boys. They definitely have more sensible and better conversations than most adults, the female lead especially, she acts very kindly and maturely towardsother people too and, imo, she is amazing! I am also glad to see that she always stands up for herself and always answers to Azuma's (mc) generalization of women (which he picked up from his family/friends). All of that makes their relationship (semi)realistic and I love the way it just progresses and deepens as the chapters keep going. It's very interesting to see the change of mc's feelings. I guess they just left me lingering for more - I wanted to see more of their relationship, of their romance, true feelings, being actually serious with each other. That's where this one falls short, for me. I also love how everything is revolved around a novel/literature in this manga, it's imbued in whole story and the title of the manga is very fitting and nice! However, I'd like to adress the thing I absolutely didn't like here: It's the relationship between Azuma and his aunts (that he keeps on mentioning). It's very problematic and weird. There's even a part in chapter 23 (I think) where he remembers his childhood when one of them offered to show him her b00bs. I understand that it was supposed to be taken as a joke or just comedy, in a way, but it didn't sit right with me.

"Our Precious Conversations" knows what it wants to be, a romantic, feel-good, shoujo manga about 2 teenagers loving each other. The story does not drag on with the premise (unlike some other feel-good romance manga) and concludes it when it needs to. The story makes you feel warm, side-characters do not get as much attention as, say, Kaguya-sama, but the story makes it clear it does not want to use the characters more than what they are meant to do. This review might make the manga sound a bit "safe" and "conservative" to which I say, it absolutely is. Characters are extremely entertaining, if not a bitgeneric. The main girl, Aizawa, is a typical beautiful airhead in a romance shoujo manga and the main guy, Azuma, is a typical foul-mouthed incel protagonist in a shoujo manga. The side cast functions as a way to boost the main pairing by providing them with interactions that function as a deeper look into their characters and how they act. The weakness to this story is exactly what I said before; the story is nothing new and you can probably find 10 manga with a similar premise by just going into a bookstore. Our Precious Conversations is a manga that knows exactly what it wants to be, and excels at that. You might have read the story 10 times over without actually ever picking this specific manga up but if feel-good shoujo romcoms are your favorite, then this read will be one of your favorites.

This is a tough one to review. Who should read this: If you are looking for a chill slife of life school romance with likeable characters, a fair amount of cuteness without being overly cringy and great art go for it. The premise is fun, a confession goes wrong but it leads them to actually talk naturally and get to know each other, and share their often different points of view. It's interesting to see the difference in how boys and girls view various situations / arguments. With that out of the way I'll talk about what this work is weak with which is... well.. on paper.. basicallyeverything. The pacing is fairly slow. The character progress is virtually nonexistant. It's very difficult to understand why they would even be in love with each other as the manga starts straight out with a confession but the reasons that lead the girl to be in love are pretty damn weak. I could understand if she somehow liked him but here we are talking full on blind love. The settings are really monotonous and the main love story gets put on hold continuously to give space to side stories that kind of break the pace. Yet despite all this I gave it a damn high score because.. it's been a very pleasant read. I never really felt bored or annoyed, the situations and arguments were entertaining, the side characters, while kinda out of nowhere, were fun and welcome, and it doesn't really overstay its welcome. So you get a solid, pleasant romance story with a proper ending in 7 volumes, and the art earns it an extra point. I do feel like wrapping everything up in 4-5 volumes instead of 7 would have brought this among the top, as the latter volumes drag with what often feel like (and probably is) just making up excuses/reasons to make an extra volume. The author paused the main romance to introduce two different extra couples by the very end and that honestly was quite annoying. It would have been much better of just concluding the main story and making extra volumes later. But I guess you need something to lure in readers. Overall a pleasant read with no drama and great art 7.5 would read again, rounded to 8 because the art was amazing
