Good art and composition. Terrible writing.
This is the kind of comment I never quite get. I can imagine reasons a person might criticize the writing in this one, but I don’t see it as self-evidently awful.
Can you be more specific about what’s so “terrible” about the writing?
"My love is different than your love", "We're dating but not dating", "I love you, but I don't know what love is". Basically author is already draging this story by using stupid plot elements.
Oh hell no it real life for you it kindda like more than friend less than lover. I know because the same happen to me ( yes it kindda like the manga). It just that the other was not ready and wasn't sure about what she felt was love or just like.
What I was trying to say is that what Kino doing is being nice because she like a kid just grown into adulthood, it overwhelming enough and she experience a lot of complicate emotion. Just give her time to develop and grow because you can't say yes no if you not even understand enough about yourself.
