Not sure if this is true of all editions (I read the newly-released LOVExLOVE English version from Tokyopop), but I was disappointed with this. If you've watched the animation previously (I think I first saw it in 2019 after seeing it mentioned on Tumblr) then this manga is just a different format of the same exact thing. In fact, the animation actually is better because you get more minor details that do not come across in the “manga”. And here the classification as a manga is very loose - it's just screencaps of the animation put in order with some dialogue boxes. You're not getting any of the nuance and emotions that the animation provides. Further, the animation has some scenes you're not seeing here. In order to really appreciate the relationship between these two people, definitely watch the animation along with the bonus content not in this book and just use this as a sort of companion guide. If you're only reading this and accepting it as is, you're missing out.
