*Original Review 5/22/2022*
THIS WAS SO GOOD. This book may have solidified Minta Suzumaru as a new fave mangaka.
I stupidly love this trope of the clueless, oblivious character that is blunt and speaks their mind. And the whole "I'll help you out" thing gets me every time. I also love that Minta based Himari on someone they previously dated. That's so funny.
I loved this from the start and I absolutely couldn't put it down. Himari and Gaku were so fucking cute together. Himari was my absolute favorite. I loved how pure and innocent he was, but so bold?? The way he spoke his mind and didn't understand things was very cute to me. I also loved that Gaku and Himari were the top students and when they didn't understand something they researched and studied. So funny. Himari's reasoning for his trauma was kind of silly, but it really fit his character. This was such an entertaining read and I could see myself rereading this many times in the future. Absolutely loved it.

I just needed the comfort read so I picked this up :)

The physical is now in my hands and I immediately reread. So incredibly sweet. I absolutely love it. Gaku definitely takes advantage of Himari's naiveté, but like everything else about this is so cute and wholesome that it's very easily overlooked. He also never does anything that Himari doesn't like or want. I love them so much.
