This manga is absolutely perfect. It’s got such a great cast of characters and feels so genuine in its intentions that it puts a smile on my face with every episode. There's an overwhelming kindness to Skip and Loafer that permeates every inch of it. Characters that would have been a one-dimensional antagonist in other mangas have their struggles explored and become whole, realized people. All of them are such imperfectly perfect, deeply human characters, each with their own principles. it’s so relatable. I’m completely in love with this story; every chapter is crafted with such love, care, and maturity. It just resonates with me on such a profound level, and has moved me to tears multiple times. Barely any other manga has been able to capture my heart like this. It’s an utterly beautiful masterpiece.
And the female lead truly has my WHOLE HEART. Mitsumi’s sincerity in the way she lives is almost emotional to witness. She’s so earnest and driven, and she always faces life and its challenges with such kindness. She was raised in a loving family, and she’s unafraid to show love, both to others and to herself. It’s such a simple trait, but it makes her an incredibly compelling character. She’s not only lovable, but also mentally strong in a way that quietly inspires other characters and even me, the reader. Just by being herself, she manages to empower those around her in the best way. I also just adore how unapologetically dorky and quirky she is. It’s incredibly healing to watch her fully embrace the kind of weirdness I used to hide away. She has her character flaws, but she always finds a way to rise through them and that only makes her more endearing.
