It's a very cute romance story, but despite it focusing on middle-schoolers there's a much more emotional and dare I say literary focus, especially to the internal dialogue of a lot of the characters. I found myself able to follow a lot of the spoken dialogue (though not all) but ran into a lot of difficulty with internal monologues etc. (The fact that two chapters start with literal dictionary definitions was no help either). No furigana, by the way. Still, it was manageable at my current level, if rough going.
