Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Are we fans of slightly chaotic groups of friends? Yes, yes we are. Especially if we make it gay. Right from the beginning, the characters in this are easy to like, and while parts of it are light-hearted, there's a tone of more emotion underneath. Of course we get some drama in this slice of life, but it also didn't seem like it was too over the top. 

The art really helps in bringing the characters to life as well. The budding relationship between Ritsuka and Mafuyu is heartfelt and emotional at its core, and I am here for it. Honestly can't wait to read more about these characters and 100% prepared for it to get emotional.
