I was searching through the Kindle Unlimited library and I came across this manga and I've never downloaded a book so fast! I was really happy it was there because I was planning on buying the series in the future. Instead of buying all of the books and reading them when I get a chance like I usually do, I have a until like the 11th June to read as many free books on Kindle Unlimited because I am not sure if I will keep the service beyond my free period. I'd have to asses the amount of books that I've read on Kindle Unlimited and the amount of books that I'm interested in that's available, and see if it is worth the subscription cost.

In regards to this book, I quite enjoyed it. It wasn't how I was expecting it to be in a good way. It is exactly how a good/average shojo manga should be. If you like the typical tropes in a high school shojo manga then you'll like this volume. This series reminds me of Itazura na Kiss. You have a girl and a boy who's out of her league because he's royalty. The prince ends up moving next door to the girl, and they grow closer.

I really liked the characters in this book. The guy was actually open. He wasn't tsundere, and was making jokes, starting pranks etc. I didn't mind the girl. She had a loyal best friend and it's interesting reading from her point of view because she is already strong. She's living alone and thriving.

I really enjoyed this volume and I look forward to continuing on with the series.!

Pretty good volume to kick off the story. I'm always a sucker for characters that are forced to be around one another, and end up developing feelings.

While I like this well enough, that boy is giving me whiplash.

What a really fast hmm.... "liking each other"
He is a guy who doesnt care about girls then suddenly BOOM!! "Being with you is fun" he said to Aoi.
She is a girl who hates Shuusei then suddenly BOOM! "Why is my heart beating so fast?" she said to herself.

All because of less than a week living together. Well, I wouldn't blame them. It is actually common and normal to immediately like someone which is called crush :")
Especially that they are living together.

Now, let's read the next volume..

This getting cuter and cuter... and tense
Smells like a rival...BITCH! -_-

This was a fast manga volume to read. I had some difficulties getting situated in the story--some of the setup seems a little rushed and you definitely have to suspend disbelief. I didn't love the female main character--she has very little personality so far. The guy character is skirting the line of ok for me with how manipulative he is being (and how it seems to be excused or approved on on page)...some details at the end have made me curious for how the next volume might develop the characters though, so I might keep reading.
