Interesting, enthralling, but difficult
This is currently rated at Lvl19 (even with my latest gradings) but I think it is much more difficult than that, primarily because of the amount of introspection on the part of the main character Takkun. While on appearances it seems like a basic romcom, this complicated relationship between two movie-loving childhood friends - an older girl in high school and a younger boy in middle school - is more concerned with questions like: what does it mean to love (or even like) someone, anyway? How much of another person can you actually know? Even though the vocabulary is relatively simple, in that way this manga actually feels more literary and novel-like than other situation-based stories and thus felt quite difficult for my current reading level. I will return to it when I feel more confident.
