god i really wanna love this manga bc the art is so cute and the flow is nice but somehow.. i feel like saeko and miwa just dont have that chemistry to keep them together??? the lack of communication is really.. hm..
That's gonna be the point of this manga though. Assuming they'll break up in the end like the one-shot, the author is dragging us through this whole relationship and explaining/showing us why they break up and it's painful to go through but it's also a wonderful exploration of a relationship that started out of opportunity rather than genuine mutual interest and never grew enough for them to stay together, part of the culprit being the lack of communication which is frustrating to all of us, which means the mangaka is most definitely succeeding in what they want to accomplish with this manga. It's pretty difficult to have likeable characters in an unlikeable relationship but have it balanced and written well enough for readers to stay engaged in a good way, and have both characters take about equal blame and draw equal dislike for their wrongdoings
If a manga makes you uncomfortable, that doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. Sometimes its purpose is to do so, with a greater cause/message ofc behind it
