"Enoki is practically the poster-boy for what a typical nerd looks like: short and slight, complete with big round glasses and social awkwardness. His main hobby is playing video games, and he's used to not having many friends at school. Then, he meets Shirataki, a former member of the baseball club and his exact opposite; tall, muscular and sporty. Despite their many differences, the spark of friendship between the two boys begins to grow into something more." A cute story where a jock crushes on a lovable nerd. This Wonderful Season with You by Atsuko Yusen is a must for those that love cute art, meet-cutes, friends to lovers, and partners that bring out the best in each other by being encouraging and supportive. This Wonderful Season with You is a one-shot and I was impressed by how much Yusen was able to put into the story considering the page limit. As I read This Wonderful Season with You I liked how Yusen was able to develop Enoki's and Shirataki's relationship throughout the manga. Acknowledging that while there was definitely chemistry between the two, both characters still had to grow before taking that next step. I felt that by doing that Yusen was able to better deepen and strengthen the relationship between the two.
Also, for those that love their BL manga a bit more steamy, there is a bonus smutty chapter at the end. Yusen added it in as a bonus for BL fans that lean more toward the yaoi side of the genre and it does contain tropes more often found in yaoi. However, if you're just in it for the fluff, the bonus chapter can be skipped and you don't have to worry about missing anything relating to the main story. I received this advance copy from NetGalley and Love X Love for a honest review. This Wonderful Season with You by Atsuko Yusen will release on March 23, 2021.
