Sasameki Koto is a classic and all but I think I actually like this series better. All the sharp observations of relationships and slice of life comf, much less of the over-the-top Rumiko Takihashi slapstick / misunderstanding vibes.

Sasameki Koto was torture for me. I actually dropped it about 20 chapters in because I thought nothing would ever happen. I'm glad I thought of it again after it had finished and looked it up, but I couldn't have handled reading the thing as it was released.

That manga just has no sense of narrative flow, everything is either gruelingly slow or happening to fast to keep track of.

This manga on the other hand always makes me smile

Tbh its all depend on the individual who reads it. I understand it perfectly fine. Imo the pace is quite right, there's not a lot of unnecessary drama and the comedy is on point.... I like this manga but Sasameki Koto is still it for me. (Again this is my opinion)

I was worried 'cause I misread that conversation at the beginning. I thought the director was firing them because Wako was a lesbian, but he was in fact going to use her as a marketing tool if he knew before hand. Don't actually know which one would have been worse...

Also to throw my hat into the ring.

I'm gonna have to disagree 'cause the pacing of Sasameki Koto was fine aside from one or two completely out of nowhere drama spike near the beginning, but then the rest of it afterwards was perfect.

The only time I felt the story came to a screeching halt was that second last volume that has two completely unrelated stories, one of which I believe was a completely different author and was also het. There's nothing wrong with that, other than it being in the middle of a serialized yuri manga.

I like how Miho trusts Wanko enough to let down her fake nice personality around her, and Wanko has learned to not take Miho's salty remarks personally. It feels like they've become actual friends over the course of this manga.

Not that those vehicular agents of death ever respected traffic signals in the first place.

I had to rethink the relationships too for this chapter.
I think it's Wanko <-> Sakuma <- Ataru <-> Nemori ?-> Mirei
I think I have that right?

Had to go back to the chapter where Ataru and Nemori first met, but I dont think they had anything going on aside from the drunken one night stand :)
