Before reading, rip the book in half and throw the first part away. Really, it's for the best. With no interesting way to resolve the book, the author resorts to a stupid and cruel method to spice things up for the final volume, pulling in not one but two of the worst tropes in storytelling
I was so enraged by this tangent there was no way I was ever going to enjoy what followed. And it makes me reconsider my opinion of everything that came before, retroactively making me like the whole series less.

The last volume 🥺 That was a roller coaster ride for my emotions. It started cute, then the disappointment with the typical shoujo manga trope, the big shock, and then the very slow realization. Yep, I didn’t see that coming, completely fell for it 😂
This manga series will always have a special place in my heart!

No tengo ni palabras para describir lo que este manga me ha hecho sentir. Sólo sé que todo este tiempo sentí un abrazo en el corazón con cada capítulo que leía.
El amor que se tienen Ida y Aoki es tan puro y precioso que me ha hecho llorar demasiado. Ver su relación es ver todo este proceso de un primer amor que nace desde lo desconocido y cómo ellos van descubriendo lo que quieren juntos y a su ritmo (QUIERO LLORAR DE NUEVO 😭).
Hashimoto y Akkun son tan preciosos y me alegra poder leer más de ellos (porque me vi primero la serie) y así enamorarme más de su historia. Y ni hablar de la amistad que tienen los cuatro, son mi familia 🤧💖.
Toda la historia la sentí muy reconfortante, super soft, and im living for it 🤧💖. Ayyyy estoy como Ida, Kieta Hatsukoi me hizo creer en el amor ajsjaksjaksak
No puedo creer que ya me haya acabado el manga, en mi corazón aún quiero más y nunca dejarlos ir. Sin duda, esta historia estará siempre resguardada en mi corazoncito <3

A cute conclusion to the series but that fake out? The author will be dealt with for that. I genuinely believed it like a dummy lol
Anyways, I would definitely recommend this series. It’s super cute and funny.

from beginning to end this series was so amazing. i wish it was longer :,) i'm glad everyone got the happy ending they deserved
January 3, 2024
I am devastated to say goodbye to these characters I love so much but the happy ending was worth it (even though the author did some really evil twists and turns in this volume to get there)
5/5 for this entire series
ugh!!

I can’t believe I’ve already finished this😭
While yes I’ve read this whole series in no time, I feel like I’ve really got to know these characters and getting really attached and eager to see how they’ll develop and grow. I had so much fun reading this even if I sometimes got frustrated with how they’d act or think. But at the end I’d realize that this is how most of us think as well.
Overthinking, agonizing and getting paranoid while getting to know a person you like for the first time is normal and happens all the time.
One thing I wished would’ve progressed a little, was how Aoki reacted to being close and intimate with Ida. I mean at first it was understandable, they both had never been with anyone before, so seeing how Aoki got flustered every time was normal. But then after more than a year of dating, I would’ve liked to see him getting more comfortable with Ida and not freak out and jump every time he would get close.
The art style was really cute and some of the scenes were so funny it got me laughing out loud.
AND THE DOG!! Mametaro was the cutest thing ever!! I loved how attached Ida was to him and how involved he was in the story. His little thoughts and comments were so adorable!
SPOILERS🚨🚨
With all that being said, I still hate the little amnesia prank the author pulled. I literally believed that it happened and was so upset and angry that the author would choose such path for the story, for them to have it as It was all just a dream. I felt like it was just a poor excuse to fill the last volume with something that will supposedly add drama to the story. Like it didn’t even affect the characters and nothing came out of it.
If it wasn’t for the way I had fun reading this series in general, that would’ve made me really hate it all and have such a bad aftertaste for it.

What can I say? Aoki is adorable and Ida! OMG Ida is the most clueless boy ever!
This is a fun series to read as a comfort read.
Highly recommended!

Ay, son demasiado hermosos! Yo pensaba que solo me iba a reír y a pasar un hermoso rato con este manga, pero lloré también, algo que no esperaba, pero ahhh, es que las inseguridades de Aoki me pegaban fuerte! Pero en general es una historia muy hermosa, de cómo todos nuestros personajes van descubriendo el amor, aunque obvio nuestra parejita principal pues es la que tiene más desarrollo y me gustó mucho verlo. Todo se sintió muy natural, cosas que harían adolescentes que no saben mucho de la vida y menos de las relaciones románticas.
Ida es hermoso, me encanta que siempre le tuvo paciencia a Aoki, es un personaje demasiado puro y bonito. Los quiero mucho a todos y claramente es un manga que releere.

¿Por qué es tan cortito este manga? Me ha encantado.
Al principio los tomos son muy graciosos, y poco a poco van siendo más profundos y adorables. Me ha gustado mucho la historia, los personajes, la evolución de estos y el dibujo. Un manga sumamente entrañable y que si bien me ha dado algún susto, me ha ganado de principio a fin.
De hecho, espero que hagan un spin-off para ver el día a día de su vida adulta. 🥹

I'm so sad this is the last volume! It's good that the series ended on a high note and didn't go on for too long, but I wish there were more volumes. It's sad saying goodbye to these characters :(
Original Review
I can't believe this series is over :( This series was so cute and I didn't want it to end! I didn't love all the chapters in this volume (the dream sequence was pointless) but overall was really satisfied with this as a conclusion.

— toda la serie.
AAAAA es muy lindo y dms divertido, en general desde el inicio es una historia entretenida y en ningún momento la vas a sentir pesada.
Aoki es quien ayuda bastante a que la historia sea divertida de manera natural, aparte, es de los pocos protagonistas bisexuales que hay 😿😿😿.
El apartado romántico de la historia esta muy bien logrado, en ambas relaciones, aunque no pensé que Aida y Hashimoto quedarían juntos, son una pareja muy linda.
Es en definitiva una de mis lecturas favoritas del año.

Ein toller Manga, der die Oberschüler durch ihre Schulzeit und darüber hinaus begleitet.
Es war ein perfekter Mix aus Romance, Freundschaft & Zukunft. Der Humor war super und durch gelungene Zeichnungen noch lustiger!
Ich konnte die Manga kaum aus der Hand legen. Es war so spannend und dennoch musste ich Pausen machen, da die Gefühle Überhand nahmen.

Ho amato l'intera serie davvero tanto, e anche questo volume non è stato da meno.
È una serie leggera e carina da leggere perciò la consiglio, è uno dei migliori bl che ho letto fin'ora ❤️
Sono molto contenta per com'è finita, mi mancheranno molto tutti i personaggi 😭

Dieser letzte Band war nochmal sooo schön und emotional 😭 Auch wurde ich auf eine ganz schlimme Achterbahn der Gefühle geschickt. Well done!
Ich bin richtig traurig, dass es schon vorbei ist. Ganz sicher habe ich die Reihe nicht das letzte Mal gelesen.

AME!!! Me encanto esta historia, es de esas historias que te llenan el corazón, es tan bella, sencilla, divertida ....es maravillosa.
Si bien es triste que acabe puedo decir que estoy satisfecha con lo que la autora y la ilustradora hicieron , los personajes maduraron de una manera increíble y se les agradece la forma en que hicieron el viaje. Quisiera saber más de ellos, ver cómo les va en la universidad, como enfrentan las situaciones, pero incluso eso ambas nos dieron un final a doc para la historia
Aunque no voy a negarles que ese viaje años después me espanto un poco.

It’s time for the ugliest face game in manga to go gently into the night, as Aoki and Ida prepare for entrance exams so they can go to university together and Akkun and Hashimoto prepare for long distance. But not before the cliche to end all cliches shows up… sort of…
If a trope turns out to not be a trope, yet still acts like one over a chapter or two, does that make it any less annoying? It is the question the reader must wrestle with as this series comes to a close and I have to say my opinion on it is… mixed.
Basically, Aoki suffers a comic amount of catastrophe after new year’s and this culminates in him and Ida falling down the stairs at the subway, at which point Aoki develops amnesia. Cough.
And woe betide, it causes him to specifically forget his entire relationship with Ida and then they split apart as Aoki decides on a fresh start and then they don’t talk for nine years and it’s all awful.
Then it’s just a dream that Ida was having and none of that mattered and other than showing how much the latter loves the former, which we already knew, what exactly was the point?
It’s a clunk of a thud in an otherwise amiable resolution that just contents itself with small details and the same cozy romance that it’s been from the start. If you take away the looks on Aoki’s face, this has actually been quite the quiet series.
And that’s fine - Aoki and Ida make a good couple and, while I was curious how far they’d go by the end, it wraps that up in some suggestive ambiguity that’s about as clear as it needs to be.
There are some good laughs, Mametaro continues to be the most vocal dog, and then graduation comes and they figure out their living situation and how they’ll keep in touch with their friends.
No last minute curveballs, just two people learning all about one another and liking what they see. The way Aoki has grown to recognize Ida’s moods after finding him very inscrutable just says it all.
I was also really impressed with the way they handled Aoki coming out to his family, which just treats it like the absolute non-issue you’d like to see people’s preferences treated with in real life. It’s a quiet moment, but a good one.
I basically described almost all of this as quiet moments because that’s why they are. It wraps up all the plot threads nicely and we see where everybody is going and it makes perfect sense.
Despite that dang dream, this has never been a series that reached for high drama, instead staying fairly grounded and focused on Aoki figuring out his sexuality along with Ida, and Aida and Hashimoto being there too.
They largely get backgrounded again, no shock there, which is probably the biggest imbalance of the series. For having two couples prominently featured, it was mostly concerned with the boys and remembered to do something with the other two now and then.
Still, I’ve read much worse and, while this isn’t strictly my thing, it was mostly well done and handled itself and its choices pretty well. Nothing I feel like revisiting, but no regret having read it either.
3.5 stars - overall this has been pretty good, so it gets that little nudge up to where it has typically sat for most of its run, but that’s based more on goodwill after that amnesia nonsense. Still, a good series that took some interesting turns and overall a worthwhile time.

Meh about . There's such a drastic tonal difference with the rest of the series so I know it can't be real, but it still made my stomach drop. Now, onto everything else: I absolutely adore these characters and it's a delight to see how much they've grown over the course of the story. As much as I want to see , I understand why it ends here. The series is first and foremost about their high school years, a super formative period of time where you're not sure what you want but you still have to make all these decisions. While college and adult life can be just as confusing, they have a different flavor to it. That said, would still kill for a sequel/spin-off.

5/5 estrellas
Ha llegado el final y quiero decir que me lo he pasado TAN bien leyendo este manga. En general ha sido una historia de relaciones sanas, con personajes que se apoyan mutuamente, con mucho amor, amistad y risas. Este último tomo ha traído incluso un pequeño susto (de verdad, que después de por todo lo que han pasado casi me da algo en uno de los capítulos). Ninguno de los personajes es igual al primer tomo, todos maduran (cada uno a su ritmo) sin perder su esencia.
Confuso primer amor se queda en mi Top 10 de mangas favoritos, esos que dejan el corazón calentito, te hacen pasar buenos ratos y quiero releer una y otra vez. Muchas gracias siempre a Milky por darle una oportunidad y darme a conocer esta historia.

I am so heartbroken that this is the last volume in this beautiful story and I am hoping and praying that there is more to these characters in the future. I adore the cast, and Ida & Aoki became a favorite couple. This is one of the most precious stories I've read, both in romance and friendship.

Honestly would have rated it higher except for the whole middle dream section. It made me so mad because did we really need to do an amnesia trope for this mostly lighthearted series?
