Goodreads Synopsis:
Mei Tachibana has spent
her 16 years without making either boyfriend or friends. One day, she
drop-kicks a popular boy in school, Yamato Kurosawa, because of a
misunderstanding but for some reason it seems that he takes a liking to
her and one-sidedly claims that they’re friends. Furthermore, he not
only protects Mei from a stalker, he does it with a kiss…?!!
Review:
This is all new
material for me, and I love it!
There’s a
popularity contest coming up at school, and of course Yamato is entered. And
since the male and female winners are supposed to go on a date, Mei has to
decide whether she’ll try for it as well.
This is a big
growing moment for Mei. She’s never been popular, doesn’t particularly like
being in the public eye or being all dressed up. But Yamato is important to
her, and so she goes for it, and somehow gets in the top five. She has less
hope for it than anyone else, but she ends up being inspiring to a lot of her
classmates. It was an important moment for her, and I’m glad she did it. It’s
also good for her and Yamato, and I like seeing them happy and getting closer.
Megumi is also
entered, and she’s pretty much a shoo-in. I don’t mind Megumi so much anymore;
I don’t trust her feelings for Yamato, but I like seeing her standing up for
herself and doing what she wants, pushing herself to do more. We also got to
see a little bit of the other couples in the series, and that was nice.
This is a lovely,
slightly smutty, mature series, and I love it. I’m always excited for the next
volume.
