Ok, to be honest... I wasn't expecting "grumpy/sunshine". I haven't read the tags for this in a while and, in my mind, I was going into it now thinking "depressed/sunshine". I have to rethink my approach to this now.
With that new dynamic in mind, I this story was just alright. Nothing really pissed me off, nothing happened that would've made me angry. But nothing really got me either. I really wanted to be much more interested in this than I ended up being. I can see the cute. I can see the sad. But I didn't feel any of it so I'm kinda disappointed that it wasn't moving enough for me. I'm still reading the sequel and I'm still buying these physically.
