I was getting a little nervous with how things would go with the friend. I'm still a little nervous, but I like the direction it's going in. Although I'm still confused by the whole fake dating thing and what the friend was trying to do. We're also starting to bring in the second love interest who doesn't have a chance as is custom in Io Sakisaka's works lol. I feel like I know how this will turn out, but I'm also wondering if Io Sakisaka will stray from the usual. Idk I'm enjoying it either way.
Side note: Is this Io Sakisaka's first bi character? I know it's a side character, but I got super excited about it. I hope there's a little more exploration with that. ...more
This was so cute! It's a pretty typical shoujo premise, but that's not a bad thing for me. It was a lot of fun. I saw a lot of people comparing it to This was so cute! It's a pretty typical shoujo premise, but that's not a bad thing for me. It was a lot of fun. I saw a lot of people comparing it to maid-sama and while I can see it, the only thing it really has in common is the secret job thing. This will definitely be a series I'll be reading with my little sister. ...more
I've been drawn to pick up this series because of the art style twice! I may have finished the first volume and maybe read more than the first idk. I I've been drawn to pick up this series because of the art style twice! I may have finished the first volume and maybe read more than the first idk. I never marked it as read because I had mostly skim read it. So I have to mark this as dnf to make sure I don't accidentally pick this up again.
This is a high school romance between step-siblings. Which you can love that or hate that as you like. I don't think it's as bad when they didn't grow up together, but like completely ignoring that aspect I just can't get behind the relationship. Kaya is just so childish and immature and just so incredibly unlikable to me. He's constantly pushing boundaries. I kept waiting for it to get better and it just bothered me so much. This is probably something I would've enjoyed when I was in middle school or high school, but my adult brain can't handle it. I only vaguely remember what I read previously, but as soon as it clicked that I had read this before I remembered my distaste. ...more
So that little preview really did play out about the way that I expected. I'm happy for Uka, but sad for Serina, but I think it went the best way it cSo that little preview really did play out about the way that I expected. I'm happy for Uka, but sad for Serina, but I think it went the best way it could.
Uka's dad makes me so mad. He's controlling and overbearing and manipulative. What an ass. Hopefully this will all get resolved in the next volume and he can see how his shitty overprotectiveness is what caused Uka to get hurt to begin with. As for Kai it seems like he's softening up a lot. Like he was a lot more blunt and pretty rude the first volumes, but now he's being all cute and caring towards Uka. It's sweet. ...more

My eyes are watering and my nose is running. My heart can't take this shit. This felt really jumbled and kind of all over the place. It's really taking me for a fucking ride. I'm routing for Uka and her female friendships. And also her just getting some self-confidence. Everyone can be so mean and the way she feels so down on herself just feels so real. Then the whole situation with Serina?? Idk how that's going to play out. That preview at the end of the volume is foul. I know it's trying to make me think something is going to happen and it's probably not going to happen the way it's alluding, but the implication that it might is STRESSFUL. ...more

I get that he's trying to help Uka while also trying to make her stand on her own, but he can be so mean about it sometimes lol. Actually a lot of the characters are pretty rude in this series. And the random teacher thrown in?? It kind of came out of no where and it was hardly anything. Not that I wanted it to go in that direction, but it was like two scenes and done. It was very strange. ...more
