5.0

I’ll be honest, after chapter 1, I was concerned that this was overhyped. But once you start getting backstory in chapter two, it only gets better from there. After I finished Volume 1, I stayed up until 4am reading all of the online comics. I haven’t experienced this much pure, unadulterated, fanperson joy since reading my favorite fluffy fanfictions of my OTP in 2016. This made me feel like that without the already established feelings that you have going into a fanfiction. It’s fluffy and wonderful- but actually hits on tougher topics (including realistic questioning and discussion of bisexuality). It deserves all the hype it has gotten and more

Update: I reread it again after watching the show and I am completely in love with the series. It is my entire personality now and I regret nothing.
