➷ plot: ★★★★★ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★★ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ this is so good ㅠㅠ i never expected the plot to be deep with a slight angst~ i regret not reading this sooner >< it's been sitting in my want to read list since last year lol anyway back to the plot, its very unique since i've never encountered a tailor x yakuza pairing esp with the whole conflict as well as a love triangle !! i did have an inkling that adachi was the one that itabashi will end up with but i'm indeed happy that the author quenched our thirst for 2nd MLs ^^ adachi seemed like a strict and mean person but deep inside hes like a sweet and clumsy puppy who gets all shy around itabashi >< itabashi is such a strong character, he really loved his town and the tailor shop that he did his best in convincing his friends even though he knew that his life could've been in danger since there were mobs involved :> their pacing and development felt natural since they already knew each other since they were kids and i really saw how itabashi's feelings grew for adachi ❣️ their friend group is so cute and i love how shinagawa wasn't even shocked abt the two hehe i wish we got to see more of them in italy >< i wanted more of their couple scenes and being all domestic but i'm pretty happy with the ending esp with the adorable after stories overall this was such a good read !! a hidden gem i must say ^^ the art style is pretty too though i have one comment bc the characters seem to resemble each other which made it a little bit difficult to distinguish but other than that everything was good this was a great read !!

➷ plot: ★★★★★ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★★ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ another fluffy read omg >< i love this~ their relationship is so wholesome ㅠㅠ toyohashi is such a sweet guy <3 literal green flag right here while takatsuki is the cutest and softest babie to ever exist >< the pacing of their development is so good !! i really felt their feelings grow for each other the plot was pretty simple, i've encountered a lot like this but this stood out to me bc of how fluffy it was <33 of course there were some small conflicts but they talked it out and the misunderstandings didn't go out of hand ^^ i kind of sensed that maybe toyohashi had already dated men before but it was hidden well by the author~ takatsuki's friend is so cool she looks gorgeous :D i wish we got to see more of them after being together but i think there was a sequel to this so i'm looking forward to seeing bits of them there <3 overall this was really cute and fun to read ❣️ i enjoyed the fluffiness and the hidden meanings between the dialogues~ it had a light concept but it still had some depth !! (i came back from reading the sequel and i just wanted to add how adorable it is to find out that both toyohashi and takatsuki feel inlove at the same time :(( they both realized their feelings for each other at the scene where takatsuki was throwing his trash and toyohashi saw him >< idk i just had to add that bc i found that so endearing and adorable ㅠㅠ) also the art style is adorable this was a great read !!

➷ plot: ★★★★★ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★★ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ this is so freaking good omg >< literally the fluffiest thing but it also had some dark and painful bits to it~ the plot is not your typical school life genre bc there were some adorable unique details added like their interactions through the window ^^ i rarely see those scenes so i found that unique <33 i like their dynamic too :> an adorable bubbly puppy MC and his cold yet sweet and soft ML ^^ (also the MC and ML are not the positions lol just calling them based on their roles on the story) i love how chitose never dug into seno's past, he respected him even though he was the noisy type of person :)) he never asked seno abt his past and he really waited for him until he was ready to tell him everything ♡ he always thought of seno's feelings, even the little things he would always ask seno if that's what he liked or if its okay with him >< i just love chitose pls hes a caring fluff ball :< literally the standard for green flags i love his inner monologues and dialogues, its full of adoration and affection as for seno, hes such a sweet person too <3 even though he was a victim, he thinks more of others rather than himself :> i like that he never pushed chitose away and he even opened up to him bc he knows that chitose is genuinely cares for him ♡ i just love the both of them so much pls esp sensei and chitose's family they're so supportive pls !! i love the cute interactions between seno and chitose's family >< i also love sensei's advices and support towards the two <3 esp his comments on their drawings pls i just know that "he knows" ^^ i almost forgot to mention how cute chitose's friends are !! they're so fun to be with and i just know they're going to be very supportive when chitose and seno tells them abt them ❣️ overall this was a masterpiece !! the plot is well-made even though it was simple ^^ it had the right amount of fluff and angst~ all the characters are so lovable and fun to read (except kido of course, we dont talk abt kido~) the pacing and development of their feelings is good too !! i really got attached to the both of them <3 they're both so adorable and domestic pls >< their cuddles and little lunch dates at school, i'm envious :')) i had a lot to say abt this one bc its so good >< definitely will reread this ❣️ also their interactions are just so funny esp on the extra and at chitose's house lol i love them ♡ i also love the constellation reference, i really felt chitose's inner monologue abt seno's burn marks :(( i'm so happy that seno finally got someone who's going to make him happy for the rest of his life >< i'm pretty satisfied with the ending too !! but i wouldn't mind a time skip extra or maybe a volume 2 for uni life hehe~ anyway i need to shut up now kshdhd the art style is very pretty too esp their chibis and dog drawings of chitose >< this was such a fluffy read !! literal masterpiece that's full of sugary sweets
