Update: Not that old of a review but it got picked up for an English translation so I guess I'll be rereading this one too. Probably won't read the spin off in until Seven Seas state that they're doing that one as well.

This is the most disappointed I've been about a book that I want to buy, am going to buy, and will read the spin-off of.
It started out really cute, I love both Sanjou and Shouya and how caring Shouya was towards Sanjou. The blog thing was incredibly adorable to me, not sure why. Something about reading Sanjou’s entries was just cute in a way where if I came across someone tumblr or line blog written like that I would absolutely follow.
However, I think around chapter 2 or 3 where we got our first sex scene, it just kind of went downhill? I don't think this story really needed any sex scenes in general but if you just *had* to write one it would've been nice to had held out until chapter 4 or 4.5. Despite how caring Shouya was, neither of them brought up the option of just waiting. Even if it was just for the 1st scene, having Sanjou back out from being scared and Shouya recognizing and respecting that would've been so good! I kinda understand why, though, Sanjou would keep pushing himself to do it because of how his personality is but we really didn't need 4 sex scenes.
I did find out that there's a spin-off that's I'm less interested because I didn't really like Ryuu or Ayumu from the time we had with him. I have a feeling that the author just wrote them together just because. Just because their friends are dating each other so now they have to date each other. I don't think there's a rhyme or reason for them to be dating and while I'm not down for that, I'm gonna read it. Might drop it but I will read it.
