An enjoyable shojo manga with main character Sahoko initially swearing off love but slowly opening to the possibility as she gets to know Jpop star Kouta. Sahoko's experience was relatable and you were rooting for her. It was refreshing to have a considerate love interest who is able to communicate their feelings and is open to criticism without being overbearing. Natural pacing, nothing felt too rushed or inexplicable. The ending was a bit of a cliffhanger, look forward to Volume 2 explaining more of Kouta's side of the story.

As someone who has been a fan of shujou manga since I was like 10, I definitely think this one ticks all the boxes. What I really like about this, though, is that the male romantic interest doesn't act super mean or emotionless. Instead he's very authentically an emotional yet optimistic guy. Cute!
