This manga does something that I really enjoy in romance mangas where the author first establishes the love interest and the mc as great friends first before anything. The relationship between the mc and love interest feels natural and sweet as they both encourage each other to be better versions of themselves. Mitsumi and Shima's mom run into Ririka and Chris, a childhood friend of Shima's. Ririka accuses Shima's mom of forcing Shima to act again. When the group arrives at the classroom, Shima's mom takes Keiri home without watching the play, while the class finds out about Shima's child actor career. Mitsumi tries to separate Ririka and Shima by physically jumping in between the two during Ririka guilt-tripping of Shima. During the last performance, Shima contemplates his own feelings and what he wants. After the performance, Shima expresses to Ririka his desire to move on from the past and enjoy his high school life. Ririka storms out upset, and Chris tells her Shima will still stay friends with her. The cultural festivals end with a huge success. As everyone cleans up and heads home, Mitsumi is happy to see Shima is acting differently than usual. Where the series shines is in the execution and everything surrounding the romantic drive. Simply put, it's a well-written and personable coming-of-age romance. It treats its characters well and gives everyone the space they deserve.
