### Summary
Reader reception is overwhelmingly positive, with the central dynamic between Chan and Dowoon being celebrated as incredibly "cute" and "adorable." This sentiment is largely driven by a key scene featuring Chan's drunken confession, which the audience found both humorous and endearing, highlighting his slurred speech as a particularly charming detail. The praise for the manga's art style continues, with fans consistently describing both protagonists as "pretty" and "gorgeous" and expressing a desire to see more of Chan's non-chibi design. The "friends to lovers" trope remains a major draw, with many readers explicitly stating their preference for this dynamic. High engagement is evident as fans declare the pair a new "comfort couple," draw comparisons to other popular duos like Gojo and Geto, and express a strong desire for the series to be longer. While some readers hope for mature content, others appreciate the current "shounen ai" focus, solidifying deep investment in the characters' appearances and their budding romance.
