This one was super cute! Yuuki is a college student who doesn't just want a casual fling but to find her soulmate. Her friend, funnily enough, suggests that they try going out to a club to get Yuuki back out there. Of course, she meets someone there who isn't exactly who he seems to be. I love seeing slightly older characters. The high-school romances are just a dime a dozen these days for what is being published in English. For a first volume, it's pretty solid. This is definitely one that I will put on my buy list and will likely be following the series!

I had a feeling I would like this and it did not disappoint. The FMC is pretty relatable, I saw myself a lot in her. She's not only relatable but also really sweet and endearing. When you see a character like her, I mean, how could you NOT like her? I love the MMC too. It's refreshing to see a guy character call up a girl to apologize for making a bad first impression (that came off as a little rude and was unfair to her) and to genuinely befriend her without any ulterior motives or lewd thoughts. Iori is genuinely a great character who I already adore!! I really like the relationship blooming between Yuuki and Iori. Although it isn't romantic (yet), I like seeing their friendship for now. Besides, I don't like when things move too quick in romance anyways! This is a good pacing to see them get closer and get to know each other as friends first. He genuinely cares about her so much, truly just wants the best of her, looks out for her safety, pays attention to her emotions... all u rlly want in a guy tbh...

Tbh, I'm not rlly into love triangles... but I'm just rooting for Iori to win until the end. Seno is a nice guy too but TEAM IORI!!!! Anyways, this was a nice first volume to a realistic college romance manga series :) WITH NO TOXIC CHARACTERS! Def gonna continue reading this to see Iori & Yuuki's relationship develop further.

This is such a cute, wholesome, and somewhat timely romance manga. Although the characters aren't that developed first or like there's not much of a depth into them so far, I still did enjoy it.

I also wasn't expecting a love triangle, but it was a lovely one. This is the first time I did enjoy a love triangle in a story and is really hyped for the 2nd volume.

~Thank you, Netgalley and Kodansha Comics for the copy ✨️~

Guys, I already know I'm going to be obsessed. This manga started out *strong*. Gosh, it's so cute and already had multiple blushy, kick you feet happy moments. I am liking the plot so far. A cute but lonely girl looking for a soulmate similar to her first childhood crush, gets set up by a guy she just met. Honestly, the story is a classic and I love it.
