Short and sweet chapters

With each chapter usually only four to five pages long, each skit is easy to pick up and put down, which is a bit of a blessing and a curse - if you immediately know what is going on, you can get into it quickly, but sometimes the situation, pun or joke is less apparent and you're just sort of plunged into it. The use of slang terminology also seems a little bit above what I'm used to, especially from 先輩, but it's overall fairly day to day high-schooler talk (apart from occasionally having to parse if the main characters are merely acting like how characters are supposed to act) and is thus relatively readable. Above all else, it's extremely fun to read! Just watch these two dorks flirt!

/edit I've finished the series now (7/6/24) and while I enjoyed it I have a few notes I want to make. The main thing is I don't think the comic panelling/storytelling is particularly strong, so if you lose track of the dialogue it's difficult to get back on course. Secondly, the story ends somewhat abruptly though at the same time in a better place than if they had tried to draw it out even further than it already is. Still a worthwhile read in my opinion but don't be discouraged if it sometimes seems a bit non-sequitar or hard to follow.
