A new anime domain name was recently registered, so we're now awaiting the announcement.
I was originally following this a bit after being intrigued by relatable topics and challenges they were facing, but now that it's been all resolved I've more or less lost interest I guess

its a fun 3 minutes every week (im up to date) but I'll have to say that I don't really have any idea where the series wants to go.
It feels like currently it is doing a slice of life approach while gradually building on the relationship but at the same time, it also tries to be a sports manga. And the author just introduced 2 new characters while also writing side relationships so there's the romance main plot and side plot going on too.
It's a bunch of stuff but it doesn't feel messy at all. It's just....a nice slow burn romance slice of life and it feels like the author has all intentions of making this series last pretty long.Good things I can say about this series:
1.Great character writing and pretty realistic (by shounen standards).
2. Beautiful artwork.
3. Characters are well drawn and not your anime G-cups below 18 year olds.
4. Good relationship writing so far (falls on some parts but still good)The one or two flaws I can think of is that the sports side of things is whatever (which is a waste seeing how the author can draw that well too) and I have no idea whether I am supposed to take it seriously or that it is supposed to take some sort of spotlight. Other is that there is some padding/drama that people might dislike but I'll argue that this is an adolescent manga and I've seen much worse both in real life and in fictional works.
If the anime is good, this will blow up. At the very least, this is a breathe of fresh air from stuff like Nisekoi or literally any other shounen romance. I don't think anyone here will actually love this series though considering the target audience but...I like..typing stuff, I guess.

Yo TMS! This is nice quality. Remember to put some love into Conan too, ok?
