I read the novel before reading the manga. At first, I was baffled at how stupid the MC was during the beginning. I wanted to drop it, but I decided to give it a chance. The more I read it, the more I'm losing sleep wondering what will happen next. I'm glad there's no romantic interest in this story. I want the MC to continue growing. I look forward to his downfall someday. :)
I will admit that the story is done beautifully and the characters are lovable. I find the interactions between Erin and Rowan hilarious at times. Although I do feel frustrated when Erin mixes up Lex and Rowan. It's not the kind of manga I normally read, but I think the author did a wonderful job bringing it to life.
