Nina herself is earnest and impulsive, it is clear from the start. He calls her Kasuga-san, though, but seems to be very kind and caring, going so far as to get out his mobile, although that's forbidden, when Nina manages to feel she was too forward in asking for his phone number. You can see that this mangaka has quite a few volumes under her belt, because the pacing is impeccable: we get introduced to the love confession on the first page (before we know who these people are) and then it's days later on a school trip where Nina's friends are totally amazed that she replies in the affirmative that she's together with Koga-kun (Can I just say thank you, dear German translator and editor, that you decided to keep the honorifics? It's pretty rare in German manga). This is isn't a reinvention of the shoujo school romance, or one of its superior examples, like Kimi ni Todoke, but it is a charming story, which gives itself time to slowly develop connections between the characters, after the initial set-up. I quite liked the cover and I thought I'd read scanlation of manga from this mangaka before (browsing Goodreads it turns out that was true - Caramel Milk Tea, for one). This was a bit of an aimless purchase, just having been lead to browse and see what manga have been licensed in Germany that haven't been licensed in the US.
