I always forget how much I love these characters until I return to this series! 😭

Natori is bae. I’ll never get sick of saying it. I love that man! He’s not perfect, but it’s pretty close 🥺 What a man! Asako is also a sweetheart 💖 Her looking at cute lingerie for the first time? Slay. Most of their interactions during her birthday were also so cute! My heart melts. That whole scene in the perfume store was lovely ✨

Asako and Natori are living together now, and it sure doesn’t come without complications. Although I couldn’t fully understand Asako’s problems with what was going on, it all clicked more into place once she and Natori were forced to hash it out. I was surprised to see her passionate outburst, but it ultimately lead to good and healthy communication. That’s the best part of this series. It’s not that the characters don’t have problems, it’s that eventually they really do talk about them to resolve them ✨
