Season 1:
It was actually quite cute, although I found them getting together rather rushed. 30 episodes, it took forever for them to built up a friendship (which was understandable and realistic), but then they became a couple so quickly, which was rather unrealistic, I think. Then again- I’ve never been through this, so who knows, maybe you do get together after the whole confession pretty quick.

Apart from that, I loved how they handled that religious & homophobic Christian friend. She was annoying at first, but she had a very nice character arc/growth. I really liked her at the end actually. It was handled very well by he author; there should be more of that.

Season 2:
I think I enjoyed this season more than the previous? Not sure, lol. I guess I just prefer to read about couples that are already living together, in opposition to all the confession-stuff before getting together.
I loved that there wasn't as much drama as I feared there would be, lol. That new character, who got to be the antagonist of the main couple, was handled pretty well actually. Not so cliché as in all the other romance stories. It was nice to see a change, and to have characters, mature enough to srop themselves from causing unnecessary drama.

Of course, since our main couple wasn't as dramatic, the author had to put in a second couple. I can't blame her (why does our society have to be into those things?), but I found it a bit unnecessary or at least rushed. I felt like the author mostly did that for drama purposes (which worked, I suppose), but other than that, didn't really planned much for the characters' future.
It involves our religious friend. And I did love it again, how her character was handled. I really love her growth throughout the series. For example, when she stood up to her mom, when her mother was being homophobic. It really shows how much she has improved.

Overall:
I loved how some things were handled very maturely and there wasn't unnecessary drama or toxic behavior that was romanticized. No wonder it isn't so popular, because apparently people these days only prefer toxic relationships...
Well, if you're like me, who's sick of all the toxicity, then do check this out. Plus, the humor is good.

I didn't want to read it all in one sitting, but I guess I did~

It was pretty cute actually, although it did annoy me at times that the MC didn't completely respect the girl's (that the mc was persuing) boundaries. On the other hand, I did find it remarkable how long she kept pursuing, even after getting somewhat rejected. (It wasn't that long, but I probably would've given up.)
The hetero scenes annoyed me the most tho, so that above was fine actually in the end.

It's really sad that the author can't continue the comic, just because the chinese government is homophobic, but I'm glad we got at least a bit of fluff~ and a few kisses~

The humor was also nice; in some scenes, I really laughed the hell out of my belly lol.

Ahhh so cute!!!
I love them and their story!! And how healthy their relationship is!

I also love time travel and it was nice how we got to see both perspective; her future-self in the past and her past-self in the future. It was a lot like in “your name”, since only their minds/souls time-traveled, not the whole body.

It would be interesting to know how it was possible in the first place though? Since time-travel wasn’t a technological/normal aspect in their future.
Hm, perhaps just a miracle like in YN? But then again, her future-self did seem to plan it and know exactly when and why she time-traveled. Or it was like in YN, when Taki drank the sake to purposefully travel back in time, not knowing it might work but bc he remember the body-switching, it wasn’t strange to him? Yeah, maybe something like that...
It also reminds me of "Hello World", since in both stories, the MC goes back in time to save their ill partner/love. But, "Hello World" is still very different and I wouldn't compare them. Besides, I don't find it a bad thing, that they have some similarities!

Anyways- back to the review.
What I also really loved was the fact that her future-self, when she went back in time, already knew Yuanzi, so the whole getting to meet each other for the first time and dating process didn't really happen (well, in the original timeline they haven't really met in high-school, so getting to know each other still happened, but not as dramatic or slow as it normally would). I really like that about time-traveling, lol.

As for the antagonists or love-rivals... I hated them at first, especially the guy, but when he apologized, he kinda grew on me. Still, very annoying (and it makes me wonder even more, how people ship hetero couples), but I did like their friendship in the end.
The second one, a girl, I'm glad that the main characters stood up to her and were clear about their feelings, so it wasn't that dramatic and both parties could move on.

But overall, I really did enjoy it, especially all the fluff! I hink I loved them in high-school more; probably because the main story was located there, the main action about changing the future was there after all. But it was also nice to see them getting closer. Ahhh, yess, the fluff had me squeezing!! I love them so much!!

A MASTERPIECE!!!!!

I can't believe how few likes/comments there are on Tapas; that's criminally shocking and unbelievable. Go read it, now!

Loved it!
Full review can be found on the 3rd book!
informative lighthearted slow-paced

I really liked it! 
It was quite random how they started their relationship, but oh well... XD

Yes, it's smut, but not much. They mostly just kiss. It's also slow-burn, so it takes a while until they do "more". There's also a story, not just kissing, although that's the main thing. 
I also like how that one background character helped them, sort of. And how she made sure they understand the importance of communication. 

And the types of kisses, plus the meaning behind them, was actually quite interesting and informative. XD

I wonder if there'll be more, since the last chapter (12) said "the 2nd series is now finally able to start". Or was it just this chapter, sort of like an epilogue? Well, I hope there'll be more, but if not, thanks for these 12 chapters, plus some extras!

Hm, idk.

I don't really like Chiyo much.
And if I were Hana, I would end this contract. She said it herself that she regrets it, so... better end it before you make it worse. Besides, there are much better people out there, than Chiyo, Hana's unrequited love. Don't waste your time like this, y'all.

I'm probably gonna continue the manga, but I don't have high hopes. The cliché would be that Chiyo ends up developing feelings herself, and letting her lesbian side finally awaken. That's fine, as long as they won't get together – which will likely be the case though.

C'mon.. we live in 2022, why are there still so many stories with the whole "i guess it doesn't have to be the opposite gender"-arc?! -_-

Apart from that annoying thing, I really liked the new character, Setouchi. I also loved her story and that she was involved with both a man and a woman. It's nice to have older characters in stories like these; because usually the older ones need to learn from the younger ones, while in this case, the younger one learned from the older one. That was nice. ^^

I really hate how it started with heterosexuality being “normal” and anything else is considered as “unnormal” or even “messed up”. That honestly disgusted me. Almost makes it seem like the manga was written by a homophobic.

I love the little sister of Satou-san though! She’s the number #1 fangirl of them, and I’m all here for it~
