I think this puppy love manga is so cute! It has potential. I love how he declares his love in the first chapter. I'm tired of shoujo mangas with main characters taking 20 chapters to confess their love...NO! No Bueno. Those mangas give you unnecessary heart break
This guy has HOT pheromonal action oozing in every panel. He's like the male MC from Stroke Material plus Kaichou wa maid sama (as a LOT of tsukkomus will tell you) and Kei from Special A. Meaning he is besotted but collected but devious yet charming still a little bit rakish and.... Ohh I could go on!
And the heroine is very fun as well. Very kuudere, very collected, very committed to staying collected at all times too.. and when someone comes along and tries to drive her up the wall... well you can see her reaction in the cover art can you not!
Superbly paced school-life romance to enjoy with an occasional sprinkling of over the top humor which keeps you hooked.
Argh! I'm at chapter 18 (with mangalator) and tbh I can't believe the audacious (and panty droppingly hot) things he does considering they haven't started "Dating" yet.
I'm just going to use another commentor's words here, since her description was perfect.
"This is shoujo. And not your Typical -- 'HEY IM IN LOVE WITH A JERK AND IM A HAPPY GIRL' Shoujo. It's the -- 'HOLY CRAP WHY IS THIS GUY TOUCHING ME. HELP' kind of shoujo...
Reminds me of Kaichou wa Maid sama. 🙂
Heroine isn't a push over crybaby. She's a girl with a temper she can hold to most people. Then here comes a cannon ball, shooting her down and pushing down her barrier. Instead of the girl being crazy for the guy who manages to see her inner self and be okay with it, Yuki doesn't even give two sh*ts to someone like Naruse. It's like a soldier defending a wall; They don't stop shooting even if their defenses are down, until you are dead on the ground. I mean, she has a crush, and here comes this guy who groped her and kissed her, and now confessing he likes her. She didn't blush and say 'TAKE ME SENPAI'. She says 'OH GOD' with a dreadful stare. I mean, what's better than THAT?" --Mangahere. com comment
So far you have a cool female lead who, is well, as the tags says. She's not cold per, se, but more rational, kinda like the main girl (forgot her name- Shizuku?) from Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun. The male lead is your typical arrogant-ish guy who seems to see right through her. For once, you also see a female lead that says
"oh gosh/[crap]" when he confesses to her!
This has potential, I just hope she doesn't lose too much of her coldness as the story progresses or starting to get the blushy thing like many shoujo gals that were awesome before, but have resulted to.
