No matter how much time we spend together, I’ll never become special to you. Childhood best friends. Two halves of a whole. The cool, smart one who’s good at almost everything, and his average, dorky friend who struggles to do anything right-Yamato and Kakeru. Always by the other’s side, but not together in the way they truly want to be. No matter how hard they try, their hearts cannot reach each other…

Not much to say except that the series is beautiful and it made me so happy. I've tried to read manga in the past but the format didn't work for me. This year it just clicked. It also happened at a perfect time because it's been another incredibly stressful year at work, however, when I was reading this I was able to truly relax.
Ahhh I picked this up on a whim, and now I feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside. This story was so cute! I'm a sucker for slow burns and intense pining. Kakeru is adorable, and I feel so much for Yamato! Poor Yamato, who is so misunderstood by his best friend ;__;
I'm looking forward to vol 2 ♥
Ahhhh what did I just discover?? This is so cute and heartwarming! This manga follows two best friends, Yamato and Kakeru, who have known each other since childhood. Now that they have reached their teenage years, things are getting a little bit awkward between them, as they both wonder if the subtle-not-so-subtle hints that the other might have feelings for them are only in their heads. Kakeru is the outgoing type, not exactly good at school, and a bit of an airhead. Yamato, on the opposite, is shy, introverted, a straight As student who doesn't have many friends, but holds onto Kakeru's friendship for dear life. While Kakeru is getting flustered by the situations that Yamato and him find themselves into, Yamato is clearly pining for his friend but doesn't think that there is any possibility that it could ever be reciprocated. This coming-of-age story explores unrequited feelings so well! Yamato has to go to great lengths to hide his feelings from Kakeru, and Kakeru, in turn, is stuck with many questions without answers. It's so cute, so cozy, and it's perfect for its age-range, following the two boys and their friends in their everyday life. If you enjoyed this manga, I would recommend [b:Associate Professor Akira Takatsuki's Conjecture (Light Novel), Vol. 1: Folklore Studies 64007860 Associate Professor Akira Takatsuki's Conjecture (Light Novel), Vol. 1 Folklore Studies Mikage Sawamura https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1679452485l/64007860.SX50.jpg 73355906], for an equally heartwarming vibe and unbreakable friendship.
