Goodreads Synopsis:
Playboy Kai and Tomboy Riko make for an unlikely couple in this adorable and hilarious shoujo romance!
Review:
Just as Riko is starting to look at Kai differently, he confronts her
about her feelings for Suwa. Being lovesick himself, he has trouble
with her odd relationship with Suwa, given her feelings for him. It's
a conflicting moment for both of them, as Riko has to consider
herself, and Kai gets to fret over it. Kai doesn't seem the type
content to sit in the background and watch what he wants get away, so
it's not surprising how he reacts.
While those two take up most of the volume, we also get to see their
friends lives developing. Mostly, we get to see Miki and Kiyo take
the next step to make their relationship official. They're the
innocents of the group, and Miki is easily influenced. They seem
sweet, and I like how they contrast and mesh together so far.
This series takes on the typical tropes really easily, but also gives
them a new twist or perspective that I enjoy. There's the festival
story in this volume. And then, for instance, when Riko gets
threatened by fangirls at school, instead of it turning into a bully
plot, or anything for Kai to help with, she handles it rather well
herself.
This is a fun take on the shojo, school story. I'm enjoying it so
far, and I'm interested to see where it goes next. It seems to be
developing at a steady pace, without dragging anything out too much.
