This volume did not start out as exciting as I thought it would, but it was still very good. It started a little slow, I guess.

I enjoy the pet dynamic in shojo manga, where the boy is adorable but violent, and the girl kind of tames him. It’s just an adorable dynamic, in my opinion. And I don’t think there are enough manga translated with it. Which is part of why I jumped right on board with this series, I’m sure.

Mizutani is the girl, a little disinterested in the people around her, instead wanting to focus only on her studies. Then there’s Yoshida, who’s skipping classes, wanting friends but a little naïve, and quick to violence. He quickly takes a liking to Mizutani, but then decides that maybe it’s just as friends, whereas Mizutani goes through the opposite reaction.

I particularly liked that they were both pretty upfront about their feelings. That rarely happens, in anything, and it was refreshing. It should definitely lead to some interesting developments in the coming volumes, and I’m looking forward to that.

We also got to meet some other characters, some who seem to become their friends, which is new for both Mizutani and Yoshida. I look forward to getting to know them, and seeing how that develops Mizutani and Yoshida’s characters.

This was a bit of a slow volume, and I think very much a beginning to the series. I’m looking forward to seeing where it goes next, though. I'm liking the setup, the way the story is told, and the characters so far.

Started reading after watching the anime and the humor in this is just priceless. The characters are so endearing😍

I watched the anime adaptation first a few years ago and thought I'd finally give the manga a try. Strangely, I prefer the anime so far, but it's still pretty cute. I might just stick with the anime but I'm glad I gave the manga a try.

I really liked this manga. I watched the anime version first and I instantly fell in love with the characters. After I finished the anime I decided to read the manga and I can't wait to complete the whole entire series. Unfortunately, the last two books in the manga series have not be translated into English yet so I'm very sad about that but I am still hopeful that they will soon. But this book is 100% worth the read.One of my favorites for sure.
