-love the main character!! charming, smart, and determined
-i enjoyed the story even though it was messed up 
-there are some cheesy lines and dumb expressions but i think this is because of the translation though 
-fuck the author though ‼️ veryyyyyy westernized ofc so will def have to give “geisha, a life” a read. 

-kinda weird that nobu was painted as so kind + a good friend when he literally wanted to just take a 15 year old’s virginity ?? and then continued to pursue her ?? like ew 
-same with the chairman, like it’s great it ended well with him but he really laid eyes on her once and wanted to fuck
