I have a palpable amount of respect for romantic stories that focus entirely on the two mcs and their individual development as well as relationship development, need not throw in any extra love rivals or ex-lovers just for cheap drama's sake, and somehow still manage to stay engaging the whole way through (▰˘◡˘▰)
This manga really went above and beyond just being a romance, it legit teaches you life lessons about connecting with others and getting out of your comfort zone and stuff ╥﹏╥
