Doughnuts Under a Crescent Moon, Vol. 1

Asahi (dark-haired girl on the cover, love interest) is a new girl crush; she's so charismatic. And Hinako (main character) is so adorable. Both of their personalities meshed really well together, in the way that opposite personalities sometimes just click.

My one gripe would be how the portrayal of Hinako's insecurities was executed. There were a few times when the monologues about her struggles didn't make sense. Hinako kept reiterating how she's ‘different' and wishes she wasn't so, but... how is she different? It seemed like a convenient and contrived attempt at adding conflict for the sake of her character development. In order for me to empathize with a character's struggles, I need it to actually be understandable.

But aside from that, this was overall a pretty cute story.
