Bye-bye Mitsubari

It’s rather short so you can finish it in 20 minutes or less.

The manga is rather cliche about a boy and girl who were/are childhood friends are reunited once they’re teenagers. Low and behold after a few interactions, they like/reveal that they like each other.

The story isn’t bad, but again it’s nothing I haven’t seen before. Despite that the male protagonist is rather enjoyable especially with the facial expressions.

Beside that I won’t say anymore to not give much away beside the major plot (but you can see that from miles away) to leave it up to anyone who wants to give this a chance.

TL;DR: I reiterate, this is a quick read and I do recommend if you don’t mind it being a bit cliche. Also if you end up enjoying it, great. Don’t be surprised though if you feel like it ends rather abruptly.

This is a really nice, cute, & simple story that had elements I really enjoyed (protective shielding hands over eyes, bffs leaning back to back) and needed (a MC female whose character is credible, dignified, and Not a crybaby). There are so many stories out there that just tell me that two characters are best friends; whereas there are actualy signs of it here, and flashbacks and a childhood photobook (!!! ❤️)

There were some times when I thought that the MC male should've been gentler, but I think it was more of the mangaka's way of showing that Kaede grew up to be a strong man, and not intending that he was too physically rough with Rii.
