[spoiler warning] such a bad pacing anime, idk about manga but this anime sucks. the bonds and relationships look so fake, u can't feel any closeness among characters, they talk once and next moment they're best friends, the story buildup is really bad, the plot is all over the place, the characters lack personality so they tried to make up for the lack by giving different hair colours to them which is so lame. everything about this anime sucks especially hori, she gets on my nerves she's a fkg MASOCHIST & forces her bf to be a sadist against his will, people who call this the best romance anime really need to watch some more animes cause it's one of the worst romance anime I've ever seen. REALLY POOR WRITING!!! there are so many characters, everyone is in love with someone, like every new episode will have someone new who either happens to be in love with the main or side character or happens to be a really old friend or someone known from the past, like initially male lead was unknown to everyone and suddenly every person recognizes him or is in love with him, while his gf hori is toxic asf, she gets mad at him cause he's liked by other female classmates, she doesn't listen to him and gets mad at him for no reason at all, every couple has a forced relationship in this anime they're no match for each other, the dialogues are poorly written like , "i've have only known her for 3 yrs but i can read her face pretty well" ehh??? it's fkg 3 yrssss
