God, this was so sweet and I had so much fun with it! I of course enjoyed the romance/aromance parts, but offsetting them against the angstier parts (seeing how the leads' inner thoughts affected them and threatened to derail things) made for a great contrast to the story and added real depth to the leads. I genuinely laughed out loud at Chip and Viv digging at each other, and the writing flowed really smoothly and was well-paced. Also, the manga-style cut scenes and umbrella twirl transitions were a fresh and fun way of changing scenes!
