Update 2: Old review that might not read well or make since. I will be updating my thoughts on a reread but the star rating stays the same.

Update: So I completely forgot that I read this and now I'm planning on reading the official English version. The 2nd story I might still feel the same way about, but let's see if the official translation makes this a better read for me.
The first story is really cute, honestly. Kinda reminded me of Our Dining Table a bit in a way. I actually really liked the small little rivalry Mori had with Takamura. Personally, I wish the story expanded on them as a family more, but since there's another story here, it feels a little short.
As for the second story, I don't know. It gave me second-hand awkwardness and I'm not too keen on Kuma's character. I'm also not liking how close he got the college student, close enough to go all the way with him, since he himself was a highschooler who's around 17-16... No.
Last story, it was alright. I feel like the 1st and 3rd one had interesting stories but not interesting characters to back it up enough for me to care. Maybe if the 2nd one wasn't there and both of these stories got some more character development then I probably would've liked it more. They both just seem a little too short for me to feel anything for these characters.
