Every time I’m wondering about a new shoujo that shows up randomly on the release lists, you invariably come through in the clutch with a review. Your timing is impeccable, Rebecca Smile.

Wow, Mako is an user of Nikon FM10; not someone you'd meet everyday in this digital age. I've personally met many female users using the spoiler[somewhat overhyped and overpriced] classic FM2 but never seen an FM10 user in real life.

For some strange reason I don't know, photography-themed anime and manga featuring female leads often have the protagonist(s) using some not-so-mainstream or even rare film models, such as Rollei 35 S, Contax N1, "Otowaflex" (fictional brand based on Yashicaflex) and Otona no Kagaku "Gakkenflex" TLR, respectively; on the other hand, male leads more often use modern digital mainstream models.

His reasons are plausible and also tied up in his physical appearance in ways that we don't often see attributed to male characters

Also, it being 3 volumes (unless MAL is wrong) doesn't hurt either. I've also been planning on picking up Nogiri's That Wolf Boy is Mine, and I may get that one before I plunge into Love in Focus.
