Character
Strong character development:
No

Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Still quite awkward between them... :')
They do hang out more, but Shimamura keeps being oblivious and Adachi rarely can form a sentence.
And that one rivalry trope... Nothing new, but rivalry with a kid is a bit of an awkward trope in romances... I mean, I kinda get it, since people are usually really sweet with kids, so it’s easy to get jealous, but... still kinda weird to go as far and call it rivalry, in a romantic way.

I'm confused why the bonus chapters have a different art style + same story as the previous chapter, except with a different perspective and sometimes different places as well. I do prefer the bonus chapter routes, though, as they are usually less awkward.
I did like that one chapter, where Shimamura stopped a mother talking bad about her child behind their back (Shimamura wasn't part of the conversation, but she heard a mom and their friend making negative remarks about the mom's kid's behavior). Some parents don’t realize how toxic they can be, by just saying stuff like that. It was a good message.
