This adorable shoujo was one of the cutest romances I've read all year. After breaking up with her ex for cheating on her, Sawa is suddenly confessed to by her classmate Sakura. He's really not her type at all, but she finds herself falling for him hard and fast. 

Sawa and Sakura are both adorably shy, and I loved seeing their relationship grow! If you're interested in a romance in a high school setting, I cannot recommend this enough. It was just super cute, I loved how forward Sakura was while still having his cute moments, and seeing Sawa struggle with learning to accept affection based on her bad experiences was really nice to see.
