100% an all time favorite, everything about it is just so cute

too short, characters had no real chemistry, felt too forced, love interest bordered on abusive for no good reason but was immediately forgiven and the way things developed past that felt unsatisfying. love interest was supposedly conscious and regretful of his mistreatment of the mc but since the mc forgave him automatically there was no point in doing that. cute in theory but asinine in execution. good art though.

the best part, to me, was that wataru wasn't a doormat at all and actually set saeki straight over his disappearance. they had great chemistry and it was really refreshing to see wataru not be reduced to emotional mush begging for him to come back, it made his response feel more realistic, like we could actually clearly see all of the emotional whirlwind he was going through. meanwhile saeki didn't get away with abandoning him without a word without any consequences. this one definitely makes me want to reread it again and again and again.

cute but extremely typical

i was pleasantly surprised by how deep and emotional this got without becoming too miserable or shifting the tone too jarringly. loved their chemistry and honestly never wanted it to end

easy 5 stars, the relationship felt very natural and you really got this sense that they were perfect for each other, and the issues between them were handled in a satisfactory way that didn't feel forced at all. perfect for a heartwarming read if you want fluff upon fluff upon fluff.
