❤️First Love
What I Liked
1) The art style was really cute. The shot of their date was absolutely beautiful and the illustrator really shows their chemistry.
2) Them being neighbours and showing up at each others door remind me so much of She Loves to Cook and She Loves to Eat which is one of my favourite mangas
3) The experience of navigating first love and sex gives such Heartstopper vibes
What I Disliked
1) There is a situation where the MC ends up sleeping in the love interests bed when he takes him home when he's drunk and looks after him and its just a bit weird consent wise. However, it is shown later in the manga that it seems the love interest was aware that it was happening and was fine with it. It still was just a bit icky to me though.
Thank you to Netgalley, Kodansha Comics and Machi Yamashita for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.
