<> i gave up at ch 70. 4/10 This is.... kinda irritating? It has some good moments but it took like... 20 chapters for anything to really happen and the original plot has all but disappeared, which is a shame because I was actually kinda interested in it. It's alright but it's not super well done. I was a bit disappointed, I guess? it's kinda inconsistent when the guy is socially inept and when he's not. The story kinda drags imo and the pacing feels off. The author made the girl go through like 4 chapters of hoops before they put her in the guy's suite. Maybe it's just the art, but nothing feels concrete. We're mostly just looking at faces. it's hard to get a sense of where everyone is... idk. It was kinda entertaining but I kept getting irritated waiting for SOMETHING to happen with the proposed plot.

<> > "i'm stronger than a guy" type girl > the ML was less angsty and possessive than i was expecting based on past experience so that was a pleasant surprise > didn't really need a creepy, pedo rapist teacher, but i guess that's a staple for stories like these for some reason > ... did that girl really turn a tiara into a bomb and call it "giving someone a scare"??? ma'am you coulda killed someone?!?!?!?

Pretty cliche action shonen. It's a oneshot, so not much time to develop the world and characters. It was okay... the art is CLEAN tho

Dropped at vol 1. All the dialogue is cheesy and unrealistic to a point that I was struggling to shout "no one talks like this!!" every time someone spoke. Once everyone's introduced, it's like well there's your light haired guy and the light haired girl, and there's your dark haired guy and dark haired girl. And we all know who's gonna end up with who. I only got so far so can't speak for the rest of the series, but volume 1 was very cliche and predictable. Not a bad thing, but I'm also just not that interested in romance, so it's extra sloggy for me I did like the dynamic with the two main girls even if it was pretty surface level. TBH, I clicked on this because I saw two girls on the cover, which is rare outside of yuri, so I set myself up to be disappointed on this one. :< Anyway
