unexpectedly good

I always have a degree of skepticism when I read these kinds of stories, but it is refreshingly well written and paced. I feel like the timer in the sky is relatively unique. The colors and lighting feel very nostalgic and summery which I really like, and the dialogue doesn’t feel forced. I like romances in which the involved characters feel like friends before they become love interests, it really makes you feel much more charmed by the whole falling-in-love experience (in my opinion). I feel like the entire story doesn’t rely on romance, and if they were just friends it would be just as heartwarming, which I also like a lot. It’s a good read, and the artist is exceptionally talented at expressing the kind of atmosphere needed in certain scenes. I might be a little biased because I’m so drawn to these kinds of summery nostalgia vibes, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. It’s coming to an end soon, but I'm confident in a satisfactory ending in any case considering how consistently good it has been

    Leo is very similar, and I also would consider I Love Amy as well (although it is a yuri). The Summer Hikaru Died is also an option, cause it definitely has the vibes, but it’s not exactly a feel-good manga like this one :^) I’ll probably have to make a list at some point. Hope I helped
