I hadn't realized until the book was in my hand to read that it is the final volume of the series. As such, the creator goes all in on all tropes all the time: mistaken identity, jealous brother, maid cafe, Valentine's Day chocolate, love confessions, yukata, festival fireworks, a time-jumped epilogue, and -- because manga just doesn't know when to stop -- an out-of-nowhere age-gap romance.

Since I like the characters, the cliches go down smoothly. And since the series had lost momentum when Furi-san stopped being scary to anyone a little while back, I'm okay with wrapping it up before I had to decide to drop it.

Too bad it didn't live up to the potential of the first volume, but it is still a good series if you just want a little innocent romance in your life. ( )
