Review:
Now that Leo has grown up and achieved success—through his parents'
business—he moves back to Japan in order to enact his revenge on
the girl that “tormented” him. Only, Tenma didn't really torment
him—she dragged him into her crazy adventures, she was generally
careless and often got them in trouble or into embarrassing
situations, but she also thought she was his friend. Back then, she was the rich girl he was forced to
befriend.
But now, she's poor and struggling to even find a place to stay, and
has seemingly endless enthusiasm and naivety. So Leo takes her in,
instead. Supposedly because he decides that he doesn't want anyone
else using her or tormenting her, because she's going to fall in love
with him and he's going to break her heart.
It's quite a weak plan, honestly, given how much he does to help
Tenma instead. I do appreciate that, when Tenma realizes what's
happening, she doesn't get upset, she only wants to work harder to be
his friend. It's quite sweet, really.
The plot reminds me of Komomo Confisserie, a little bit, only
the male protagonist here is much sweeter, and doesn't really bully
the main girl at all. But in both series, it's still obvious he
actually likes her.
This was a really fun first volume, and I liked the way things have
developed and progressed already. Tenma is a lot of fun, and I really
like her optimism and determination. I'm looking forward to reading
more.
