Read the full take

Kase-san and... is a tender, gently paced yuri romance with a sincere heart. A shy, clumsy girl who loves the flower gardens at her school is caught by the beauty of a vivacious track star, and the two begin a romance that is as much about learning to tend a relationship as it is about attraction. The story is observant, and the small moments of closeness feel honest and warm. The chemistry is low-key but genuine, and the characters grow in believable ways. The honest cons: the pacing is slow and quiet, and the school romance follows familiar patterns that some readers will recognise. Some themes are handled gently to the point of feeling slight. Still, it is a sweet, comforting read for fans of quiet romance. If you enjoy first love stories that take their time, this is a lovely pick.
