Goodreads Synopsis:
Hako Natsuno’s bad
luck hasn’t improved, but her alien boyfriend, Io, takes everything in
stride, even when his feelings for her cause him to be repeatedly struck
by lightning. The two have barely started dating when a naked alien
girl arrives on Earth and says she is Io’s true mate. Hako really does
have the worst luck!
Review:
I’m honestly
impressed with how much character and story development there is in such a
short series. There’s depth, time for the characters to grow, no rushing. A lot
of story in such a short time. I’m really happy with this series. Plus, it’s
super cute.
There’s a lot of
innocence between Io and Hako, even as they’re growing closer, and Io is
wanting to get married at some point. We meet Hako’s family, we meet Io’s
brother and Io’s fiancé. The two date a lot. Io goes under a change in order to
stay with Hako, and then Hako’s is forced into a position because of her love
for him. I don’t want to spoil what happens, but while it’s sad, the ending is
super cute.
The artwork is so
pretty and the characters are so fun; the romance is adorable and sweet. This
short series just plain makes me happy, and I’m so glad it was licensed. I hope
we get more from this author, because this one was great.
