maybe i'm liking this manga a bit way too much than i expected. it's a story about self-discovery, self-acceptance, and falling in love. also meeting your soulmate. innocent adult love life. i've always dreaming of a love so innocent i just want to spend the rest of the day with the one i love by just go out together, talking about our interests and our day, holding hands, sleeping together just to keep each other warm by cuddling. typical of innocent and sweet love. the manga hits close to home.

from the moment hinako pushing herself to fits the society norm. wearing make up just to look pretty for inviting guys' attention, going on a date just because she wouldn't feel lonely, and act like she's always looking for a love in a man. just for the sake of "not being alone" she's way too relatable in so many ways. to know that she grew a lotㅡmakes me so proud of her. she went from being afraid of being lonely to telling others that it's okay to be alone and accepting herself just the way she is. she became so brave at saying no to others, doing things on her way, and accepting herself more. that time when she realized even she bought those make ups and skincares were just showing up pretty in front of others, those are still things she chose to have, and the things that gave her happiness. the moment when she realized that was so beautiful.

her change was also encouraged by the sweet words someone (now a lover) said to her. i think that's lovely.. when asahi adviced hinako to clean up her room for the starter and that's where hinako's life changed by each days. from the littlest thing managed to encouraged hinako to do other big things to change her life. even until the end she changed her life and keeps her room clean, making herself satisfied with a clean room and become kinder to herself everyday.

the moment they had lunch together for the first time.. i still remember it clearly. the whole part was wholesome it tored my heart into pieces. hinako was so stressed out by the omellete she thought she messed up because she mistaken sugar for salt but a second later, asahi came to eat together with her and happenee to prefer omellete with sugar rathen than salt so she ate hinako's omellete and complimented her for it. saying it's good just the way she likes it. i'm.... crying..... imagine stressing out by something you think you messed up but someone says they love it because it's their style...

asahi is so kind and such a nice character. she favors the life of being alone and she's pretty. with her words alone, she can manage to changed other person's life. with her words alone, she can give someone warmth and comfort. those tender touches on each others's hands.. the warm hand holding of them two together.. perfect.

this manga made me cry, i'm just all crying reading this manga.. so tender, so soft, and so pure. so many moments making me cry, like how asahi been living her life for subaru and won't ever fall in love because of that, where these two spend time together and they love every single time they spend together, when they held hands.. ;__;♡ i think they are so adorable.

i love this kind of story.. this is my kind of story.. yes i love it when the main couple being lovey dovey, i love that kind of romance too. but this kind of romance just hits different. exactly what i want to find in love. those days to spend the rest of the day with the one i love just to talk to them, holding hands tenderly and sharing lovely words, being with each other for a long time. such a dreamy adult love. this is exactly why i love yuri.. always so beautiful, so perfect. taught love in so many ways.

so thankful for this manga to exist.. we need more representation of asexual characters. def recommended. especially those who favor slow burn and innocent love.

i have so many words for this one right here but all i can say is i love this so much. no words could ever define how much i love this manga. x
