Yagyu and Satomi start to make plans for Christmas and they head into their first Valentine’s as a couple. Tatsukawa, who works with Satomi, is looking like he will interfere with their relationship.

This series is perfect if you want some low (well, more like “no”) angst romance. The main couple is cute and precious but other than young people being in love for the first time, there isn’t a lot of conflict here so, it’s very slice of life. Cute but a little fluffy for my tastes. 3.7 out of 5.

Yagyu and Satomi are still happily dating and go to a couples event at the cultural festival at school. But Tatsukawa, another student, sets his sights on Satomi, making Yagyu jealous.

It’s looking like Tatsukawa is going to be a real threat to Yagyu and Satomi’s idyllic relationship. I did wonder if any conflict would come into the story or if we would just watch the couple be perfect and cute the entire time. That’s not bad but it could end up repetitive and boring. We’ll see how this new guy factors in. 3.9 out of 5.

Satomi and Yagyu are dating after Satomi had the courage to make good on the promise to herself to be honest and confess to the source of her crush right away. Things seem to be going well until Yagyu’s little sister, Juri, insists on tagging along with them and wants her brother all to herself.

Even with Juri bringing in some conflict, Satomi and Yagyu are too perfect. Not that I need high angst in my romances but this doesn’t feel like low angst, it’s no angst. Juri isn’t the type of character you love to hate, she’s just annoying and unpleasant to deal with. In general, I didn’t feel there was enough going on to enjoy this volume, even as a slice of life manga. 3 out of 5.

Satomi is a first year high school student ready to have the high school crush experience. She had a crush on someone in middle school but never told him, something she vows won’t happen again. On the way to school, a pervert tries to grope her but she is saved by Yagyu, a boy in the same grade as her. Now Satomi is given her chance to keep the promise she made to herself to make sure she confesses her love.

If you are in the market for a lighthearted, clean, cutesy love story, this is a sweet read. It’s simple and to the point with all the best parts of this genre. 3.5 out of 5.
