The Springtime of My Life Began with You, Volume 1 by Nikki Asada
4.0
3.5/5 stars
Takasago is popular and an athlete and out of the blue he asks out shy Suehiro who prefers to read books rather than socialize. Everyone assumes he approached her on a bet or some chivalrous impulse. Even Suehiro is sceptical about his motives and doesn't understand why he persists in befriending her. There are hints at some past events that seem to trouble him which he is yet to open up about with Suehiro. There is also a hint of a love triangle in the making. Another mystery is who is the student author of Suehiro's favourite book? I'd be happy to read more in this series. My only complaint was that Takasago tends to be a little too domineering in an old school Shoujo type of way and propels the heroine into the centre of attentions rather against her better judgement.
Thank you NetGalley and Kodansha for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
