This series was so sweet and so fun. I truly had the best time reading it. I feel like this ending was perfect for the series, and I loved the little time skip that we get. It truly felt satisfying.

[Katie❄️ · Rating 4 out of 5]

The transition on this one was kinda odd. From career change to out of the blue wedding plans.

[Peppa · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was sweet and soft and barely even flirted with drama, which honestly was kind of refreshing.

Their dynamic is peak wholesome. They really are the definition of “my person,” always cheering each other on and just getting it. I also cackled at someone calling it a light case of twink death, accurate and hilarious😭!!

Honestly? Cozy, cute, low-stress. Loved the whole vibe.

Sono così triste che questa serie si sia conclusa, però felice allo stesso tempo per come sono andate a finire le cose per Meguru e Wako!!
L'autore alla fine del volume ha espresso l'obiettivo che si era prefissato per questo manga, ossia che fosse un'opera leggera da leggere anche nei momenti di stanchezza e che portasse felicità. Devo dire che l'obbiettivo è stato centrato, mi ha tenuto davvero tanto compagnia questo manga.
Meguru e Wako mi mancheranno tanto

This series was cute. And finally something different. I loved how brave Meguru was in the end with their decision. Really heart warming.

I love all the characters after the first volume I didn't know if I'm gonna like it but I love this sm

So sad that it’s over now, loved the series tremendously. This volume was pretty rushed to wrap everything up. It could’ve used one more volume tbh especially for the wedding :/

[Vee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Woooowww!!! I won’t lie, I had no idea this would be the end of the series!! It’s okay, because it’s such a cute and fun storyline, and I’m very happy where it ended. My only slight qualm was that even though 99% of the characters are shown as “androgynous”, both male and female, there were no gay relationships. My yuri!!! So close to being canon!!! And it wasn’t!!! I mean, I guess it’s okay, but I really really wanted yuri.

I’m so glad I finally finished this. I wish Meguru-kun and Wako-chan a happy rest of their lives. 💕

What a beautiful ending to this story! I wish there were hundreds of chapters of their life but I am satisfied with just this much!

[Kary Pez · Rating 3 out of 5]

I rate it three stars not because on anything on the mangaka, it simply felt like this series was getting axed and tamekou had to hurry to tie up the loose ends together . A lot of character developments felt rushed and I don't feel as if this is in any way the fault of the author . Two of them dating doesn't seem to be given the amount of weight it should , as does the nuances and struggles that the couple themselves faced . Some endings are left ambiguous and with no further clarity , Sasame , and Sakurako are examples off the top of my heads .
I would rate it higher if it felt like the ending truly came from the author and not the pressures of serialisation .

3.5 stars
Dieser finale Band hat mir Gott sei Dank echt nochmal ganz gut gefallen. Finde es gut, dass Meguru seine Passion erkannt hat und diese nun auch verfolgen möchte, egal was das für ihn finanziell und auch berühmtheitstechnisch bedeutet. Und die meisten hatten auch Verständnis dafür. Wenn jemand seine Passion kennt und diese ausleben möchte und kann, finde ich das nämlich echt schön. Die Unicorn Boys kamen dadurch auch zu einem Abschluss, den sie gut gelöst haben. Und auch für Wako gibt es eine berufliche Veränderung. Und dann die Hochzeit, die echt schön und süß war. Generell muss ich sagen, dass ich den Rep in der Reihe soweit gut finde, es manchmal aber doch sehr over the top und einseitig dargestellt wurde. Außerdem fand ich Wako manchmal einfach echt kindisch, vor allem in Bezug auf ihr Fangirl von Meguru sein, was mich als Partner doch gestört hätte. Aber Meguru nicht, da er Wako so liebt, wie sie ist, was auch eine tolle Message ist. Die Reihe ist gut, das Thema ist mal was anderes und alleine dadurch würde ich sie schon empfehlen. Jedoch haben mich die Sidestories oft ein wenig zu sehr von der Hauptstory abgelenkt. Mal was anderes, nicht schlecht, aber auch nicht herausragend.

« Mon petit-ami Genderless » est une déception progressive. J’ai aimé suivre le couple Wako/Meguru et voir l’affection qu’ils se portent l’un pour l’autre. Les questions de genre et les critères de beauté ne sont cependant pas autant abordés que ce que j’aurais voulu mais surtout, ils ne sont pas nuancés. A trop vouloir nous proposer une histoire légère, Tamekou reste en surface et passe complètement à côté du sujet principal de son récit. Elle en vient même à transformer Wako en un personnage agaçant et obnubilé par la beauté de son copain. C’est fort dommage car elle avait toutes les clefs en main pour proposer quelque chose d’unique et pertinent.

[Cassandra · Rating 3 out of 5]

I think I was expecting more romance but this series is much more slice of life than romance. This last volume was my favorite. Meguru and Wako are both having career changes and their support of one another was really nice. I liked how this volume wrapped up most story lines and gave us a happy ending for our main characters. The wedding was very pretty.

I think I was just hoping for more cute romance moments than I got.

[Lee · Rating 5 out of 5]

So freaking CUTE!! I love short and sweet stories and this wrapped up perfectly in just 5 volumes. It's nice to see stories that teach lessons I couldn't have imagined have made their way into manga already, like, a completely cis-het couple that has a dynamic not considered "normal" to society? I'm so happy. The art is gorgeous, the story is simple but really does a good job at introducing all kinds of different types of relationship dynamics. NEED TO OWN!

[Dario · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sinceramente non mi aspettavo questo finale, sono molto contento.

Ho apprezzato particolarmente questo volume finale, soprattutto perché i precedenti erano stati un po’ noiosi: vedere Meguru che scegli di seguire i suoi sogni andando contro le aspettative degli altri è stato un respiro di aria fresca.

[Autumn · Rating 5 out of 5]

An amazing conclusion to a wonderful series. The art is still stunning and the story still interesting. I love Wako and Meguru. Their relationship is just one big green flag. We get to see both of them adapting to job changes and growing as adults. I also loved the side characters and how their stories developed. Highly recommend.

[Carmen · Rating 4 out of 5]

I don’t think this series needed to be longer but the pacing still seemed rushed in this one to close up the story. I like where it all went and it’s really sweet happy ending, especially the last page that jumps 5 years in the future but kinda wished this transition was paced a bit better in volume 4 so the change wasn’t so immediate in volume 5 🤷‍♀️

[Irene · Rating 3 out of 5]

Caruccio. Senza infamia né lode, è stata una serie carina e leggera. Bella lo parte in cui Meguru abbandona il lavoro di idol per dedicarsi a qualcosa che ama davvero, ma niente più di uno spunto interessante senza particolari ramificazioni

[Courtney · Rating 3 out of 5]

Oops, no wonder I was confused, I accidentally read this before volume 4
I was still confused by which character was which and it also seemed like the TV show (?) they were starting just disappeared?
But yay for happy endings and beauty

[Nikki T · Rating 2 out of 5]

I'm happy for a happy ending, but this was honestly a really unimpressive ending and final book. It just seemed like they're both still just obsessed with external looks... where the hell was the character progression?

Honestly can't recommend this series.

[Elettra Petricola · Rating 5 out of 5]

Volume finale di una storia adorabile, le vicende di Meguru e Wako scaldano il cuore e posso solo consigliare di leggere questa piccola serie di cinque manga.

[Kpopper98 (IG labibliotecanelcuore_2.0) · Rating 3 out of 5]

L'ultimo volume è rimasto in linea con tutta la storia, non ha apportato nulla di più e nulla di meno. Purtroppo questo manga in generale mi ha un po' delusa

[AF · Rating 2 out of 5]

Volume way too rushed... why? Pretty disappointing.

This was such a fitting ending, and I loved seeing him older in the end! Very cute.
