I decided to read the full series before giving my opinion. It changed a lot throughout the volumes, but in the end, this is a very sweet story. It is bittersweet at times, reflective in others, and silly throughout. The way the cast is slowly expanded throughout the volumes, initially starting with one plot and then building on more, is artfully done. The ending, which I will not spoil here, is very well crafted. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who enjoys unique romance stories.
