I bought this manga on a whim as I had a coupon from Kobo. I am very surprised at how much I liked this manga. I fully expected the male lead to be a total perve but he wasn't! Sure there are some slightly sexualized scenes but they weren't enough to put me off.

I really loved Nariyuki's dedication to tutoring Rizu and Fumino. While he started doing it to guarantee a recommendation letter from his school's principal, he doesn't half-ass it. He works really hard to make workbooks for each girl and he takes the time to listen to their needs. I also really like that they showed why each girl wanted to enter a major they're really bad at it. I felt it gave real weight not only to the plot but to the characters as well. I loved seeing them interact with each other and start to build a friendship.

I definitely plan on reading the next volume. If you're looking for a fun lighthearted slice-of-life manga, this is a good place to start. I cannot wait to see how the characters develop in the next volume.
