Thank you so much NetGalley and Kodansha Comics for access to this arc!!
5/5 stars!
I loved this so much!! The developing friendship and relationship between Risa and Zen is really sweet, I loved watching them grow closer. The ending really snuck up on me though! It ended and I was like, no, please, I need more? Now?? lol! I can't wait to read the next installments and see how things develop :3

Want to thank Netgalley and publishers for giving me the chance to read this book.
What a perfect manga! Usually I am not the biggest fan of studious girl/mafia boy tropes but this one was so well done. This had comedy and romance. It also has some really nice and steady character growths! Def going to be reading more of this series. Fukimomo really knows how to make a good story!

I feel conflicted about this manga. On one hand, the art was gorgeous and the love interest is swoon-worthy, but on the other hand, I didn’t like how a lot of the conflicts had a deus ex machina element. The main character gets herself into ridiculously dangerous situations and the male lead magically appears to save her. At this point, he really is a stalker. If you can overlook that, you’ll probably love this manga. I’m a realist though.

I enjoyed giving this a read!
Risa Amakawa is a high school student who carries a heavy bag that has items ready for different situations whether it is an umbrella or first-aid kit. One rainy evening, she happens to come across a delinquent, Zen Ohira that got beaten up and saves him. You could also call it fate since they begin to cross path since their first meeting and he's there to save her even if she didn't any help.
This romcom manga has a delinquent male lead x independent smart female lead trope. It's not an uncommon trope but most of the times, I could enjoy reading lots of manga with common tropes like this one.
As for the character, Zen Ohira, he is a "happy go lucky" guy who may seem a little odd, but he's a very likable and cool character! I find him kind of funny too.
On the other hand, Risa is independent but she has her own struggles that I can relate to on some level. I am looking forwards to more sides of Risa and because she is used to being on her own, Zen is someone I believe will be a great companion for her. Risa is strong but it's okay to rely on someone else sometimes, she doesn't have to suffer alone!
Additionally, I really like the symbol of the heavy bag she has. It's kind of sad but I think her situation will begin to change or rather, maybe it already has.
The art or illustration style is really nice as well.
I definitely recommend adding this to your tbr!
