Description
I care about my appearance, but I’m not the best-looking guy in class. I don’t have few friends, but I don’t have many either. I’m not bad at studying, but I’m no genius. I might be decent at sports, maybe. In short, an ordinary person. That’s my self-assessment, Kashima Aoto. What should an ordinary person like me do if, by sheer chance, I stumble upon a stranger confessing their love? What should I do if that girl is crying right in front of me? In the summer of my third year of middle school, right after retiring from my club, I didn’t have the answers. But there are some things I do know. For example, the girl who was crying after her failed confession is, on this graduation day, running happily in my line of sight. For example—

My Thoughts on Deer, Autumn Leaves, and Sweet Love ~ Does Anyone Know What to Say to a Girl Crying After a Rejected Confession? ~
This title is certainly a mouthful, and after diving into "Deer, Autumn Leaves, and Sweet Love," I can say the story is... an experience. It's a slow-burn romance set against the backdrop of high school life, and while it has its charms, it also has some noticeable drawbacks.
First Impressions
Honestly, the initial chapters didn't immediately grab me. I found myself wondering where the story was going, and if the pacing would pick up. The beginning feels a bit weak, and it takes a little patience to get into the meat of the story.
What Works Well
As the story progresses, there's a certain realism that shines through. The characters, while perhaps a bit archetypal, do feel like actual teenagers navigating the complexities of first love and friendships. The author does a decent job of exploring their inner thoughts and feelings, which adds depth to the narrative. I especially appreciate that the male lead is proactive, which is a refreshing change of pace. The conversations between the main leads, though infrequent, are genuinely well-written and hint at a burgeoning connection.
Areas of Concern
My main issue lies with the pacing and the frustrating lack of communication between the main characters. The story seems to get bogged down in unnecessary details, and the author appears hesitant to bring the leads together in meaningful ways. For example, the missed opportunities for the friend group to hang out or study together felt unnatural. The core conflict, stemming from a mutual misunderstanding that stretches on for far too long, becomes tiresome. It feels like the characters are trapped in their own heads, refusing to have a simple conversation that could resolve everything.

Final Verdict
"Deer, Autumn Leaves, and Sweet Love" has potential, but ultimately falls short due to its glacial pace and frustrating communication barriers. While the realism and character development are commendable, the lack of progress and missed opportunities make it a somewhat tedious read. If you're a fan of extremely slow-burn romances and don't mind a heavy dose of miscommunication, this might be for you. However, be prepared for a potentially frustrating journey.
