The confessions in this manga is painful to my heart

Satsuki and Suzume

Mamura and Suzume

TBH, this is the first time that I ever felt torn between two male leads. Normally, it's easy for me to decide my couple in a shoujo manga/anime then ship them like crazy til the ending (and beyond) but this manga made me like both of the male leads and 'dislike' the female lead. I do undestand what she's gone thru and how completely inexperienced she was in the field of romance but those weren't enough reasons to hurt the feelings of the ones she truly care for.

Shishio Satsuki had to keep distance from Suzume because their relationship is complicated. He had to spout lies only to go back and confess his true feelings again but could it be that he rejected Suzume because he thought she would wait for him? So just when Suzume finally dated someone else, he chased her again like crazy then attempted to break them apart.

Mamura Daiki has always been allergic to the opposite sex but Suzume is different. At first it was just a mixture of annoyance and curiosity but his feelings grew into something he didn't expect. He watched her tears well up and got frustrated because he couldnt do anything for her. He confessed and didn't expect anything from her. He didn't force his way in but let her realize on her own the love he believes she deserves. Between Satsuki and Mamura, the latter acted more like an adult.

Anyway, all of them had a happy ending so I guess it's fine.

PS. I ship Mamura and Suzume from the very beginning and I really thought that they won't end up together.
