So. A second love interest who has one-sided crush with the girl is introduced and it took THIS short time... Hmmm and the appearance of an ex-girlfriend... The story is completely predictable so far but it's fairly entertaining I guess.

Okay—what is this? Where's the punch? Or the jab? Rival boy deserves it
2.5 out of 5 stars
First, I ABANDONED THIS BOOK IN MY TEEN YEARS BECAUSE VOL 1 ENDED WITH NOT VERY ENGAGING (FOR ME) CLIFFHANGER. I really hate love triangles so much at the time, even now!! AND THEN WHEN I STARTED THIS BOOK, WITH DEEP BREATHS, I EVEN TRIED TO FINISH A WHOLESOME OTHER SERIES BEFORE I DIVE HERE BECAUSE I'M STILL AFRAID TO CONTINUE THIS AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO TELL ME THAT MY LIFE-LONG, OKAY NOT LIFE-LONG—THAT I SPENT HALF OF MY LIFE (YEA KINDA) IGNORING THE SEQUELS OF THIS SERIES BECAUSE I THOUGHT THERE'S AN IRRITATING LOVE RIVAL THAT I JUST CAN'T STAND ONLY TO FIND OUT TODAY THAT IT WAS SHUSEI'S FRIGGIN BIG SISTER? NO!!!! I'm such a dork, I know!
Second, what the frig is that kouhai rival? Are you serious? I mean, I was kinda still shaky when I first saw the guy. I was like, now this is the real slap. Male rival is waaaay worse than girl rival. Because shoujo heroines are always a push-over, and usually shoujo love interests are cold people (so, you know you're safe. they're gonna ignore the girl rival) AND THEN WHEN HE INTRODUCED HIMSELF, CALLING AOI A SENPAI, I JUST KNEW I'M SAFE TOO. NAH, NOT HEADING THAT WAY. It's like a typical shoujo rule book, and that kid is gonna get hurt following like a dog over nothing.
By the way, I'm gonna go and label kouhai as a red flag as well. Come on. Pushing senpai, trying to force yourself on her? No, boy. AND EWW, DID HE JUST, LIKE, SUCK AOI'S FINGER WHEN SHE WAS BITTEN BY A DOG? I LITERALLY CRINGED. THAT'S SO YUCKY. WHAT IF THAT DOG HAS RABIES. BOY, YOU'RE TOO WILD AND NASTY. VIRTUAL VOMIT. AND WHEN SHUSEI'S APARTMENT WAS FINALLY FINISHED IN RENOVATION, THIS BOY BROUGHT A BAG OF HIS BELONGINGS AND JUST "UNANNOUNCED" WENT TO AOI'S HOME WANTING TO LIVE THERE FOR A WHILE. WHAT THE HELL?
And the most irritating part is that Aoi didn't even give him a punch or something! She just ran around like a girl afraid or something. What the hell? Here I was admiring her boyishness but no I guess she's no Misaki after all.
AND BEFORE I FORGOT, SHUNPEI MARKING HIS TERRITORY? LOL NO. SHE'S NOT YOUR GIRLFRIEND. YOU DON'T OWN HER, OKAY? OH SHIT DID I SAY SHUNPEI? WHAT WAS HIS NAME AGAIN
