I’ve been reading this manga online for a while and am so happy it’s getting an English print! This is one of my all-time favorite shoujo mangas, with a pretty big cast of characters, but all of them are fun and endearing. Akane and Yamada are adorable, and I really appreciate how they get together early on (without rushing the feelings), with the story following their relationship (and their relationship with their friends) closely in a wholesome slice of life. This manga explores different types of relationships and portrays people realistically. The gamer aspect is relatable for the current generation and is fun to read about. I’ll be collecting all the volumes!
