This manga gripped my heart in all the right places. I loved the art, the main character easy to relate to, the story interesting and heartfelt.

There's no real plot, just Seto and Utsumi sharing pieces of their lives with each other in the most casual way, through conversation. What I love about manga is that dialogue really drives the story and I loved reading the two of them get closer and just weld together as friends. The art in facial expressions was beautiful and there was so much atmosphere in it all.

It's different and I loved diving into their lives, being a part of the conversation somehow. The lack of direction made for casual conversation, which felt light and uplifting to me.
This was so...awesome!

I really enjoyed this manga.
The artist is really great as with character design, as with the enviroment. I really liked that.
This is not an average "slice of life", I can even say it's closer to a seinen, but not even that serious.
It's great how Katzuya made a routine conversation between 2 teenagers so interesting and catchy. There's a big load of nostalgia and comedy (japanese comedy, maybe if you are not used to read manga or watch manga you won't be able to enjoy it)
I want to read the rest of it badly.
