The light novel is unique in its character development. Sasaki is initially seen as a bit of a playboy but as the story progresses, his deeper, more sincere side is revealed. Miyano, on the other hand, is shy and reserved about his own feelings, and his growth throughout the story is engaging. It also has a unique art style in its illustrations which add to the overall charm of the story.
One of the main themes is love and self - discovery. The relationship between Sasaki and Miyano evolves as they discover more about themselves and their feelings towards each other.
