This was a such an amazing series. I read the 6 volumes in one day and some of them while I was at work. I did not want to stop reading.

I am looking forward to watching the anime. I may even buy them all because I loved it so much.

There was some heartbreaking moments especially the last few volumes with Banri and Kaga. The mystery with his memory and his relationship was something I loved watching the progression of.

I wish there was more of it. I was looking for a college romance and I found one that will means a lot to me.

I will recommend this to all my friends looking for something different.

That ending… I’m sobbing. I can’t get over how well written this story is!!!!!!

I give this series a 5/5!!! I loved it! I loved every character. I loved the writing and the art. Yeah, there was some fan service but it wasn’t nothing too pervy. It didn’t take away from the wonderful story. If you were avoiding reading this series because you think the cover art is pervy, GIVE IT A CHANCE! And don’t judge a book by its cover…duh lol
