Cute yuri, vaguely reminds me of やがて君になる with the whole "can I make myself fall for you?" thing, though this definitely doesn't have the depth or tension that series does. In fact there's rarely any sense of tension, even when there probably should be. This starts to change in later volumes, but even then things are rather clumsily executed.

If you're in the mood for a fluffy yuri where everything conveniently just works (mostly), and the tempo moves along nicely, it's an ok read. Most names have furigana, and some words here and there, but that's it. Definitely lots of contracted speech, dropped particles, etc.

The series gets better as it goes, but as I said, the execution is a bit clumsy, and the supporting characters are a bit underdeveloped (outside of their relationship to the main characters), until later volumes. This is particularly to the series's detriment with a student-faculty not-quite relationship that isn't treated very realistically until later on.

Overall I enjoyed it enough to read the series straight through, and I liked most of the characters. The character design and visuals are often very nice too.
