Cute

Simple, cute. I wish they would let the drama sit for a bit but it is an easy read for short readathons :p

~3/5

I really want to love this series. I really, really do. But it’s just not working for me.

I expect this kind of series to have a lot of drama, and romance, and maybe a little bad smut. I expect it to be a guilty pleasure drama, one so badly good you can’t stop watching. But this just isn’t doing it for me.

We meet Shusei’s sister in this volume, who forces Aoi to pretend to be Shusei’s girlfriend, to a ridiculous amount. Then there’s a school festival, where girls argue over who gets Shusei’s school shirt. We meet a rival for Aoi’s affections, a guy who actually likes her and is kind of sweet, even if he does push himself on her too much. He gives her more room and kindness than Shusei, at least. Which, of course, means that Aoi doesn’t like him like she does Shusei.

Shusei could be more a dick bad boy, but I actually think his personality is okay. He likes Aoi, and he’s not afraid of it, which I like. But mostly the drama and the emotions, and even the artwork, is very one-dimensional. Aoi’s freak-outs are over exaggerated, as is the drama. None of it is pulling me in, and none of it is making me want to read more.

I want this to get better, but I don’t really think it will, sadly.

Cute but Weird at times

The Sister is really odd, who does that? And that kid Shouta, WHAT? He was really creepy tbh, what was with the furry vibes. But the main storyline is interesting. And pretty cute!
