Matsuda: I say this every time, but you better leave when you finish eating. Kamiko: You say that even though you actually want me around
This will be an unpopular opinion but¡ªI didn¡¯t expect it to be the right blend of action, smut, humor, and angst packed into engaging chapters of crimes to be investigated with a sprinkle of suspense and attachments for a grumpy and a sunshine. The art style is so beautiful¡ªwith some heartwarming and tender scenes....more

For ten years I thought I was preparing to destroy you, when really I was preparing to love you. All of which is to say I really hope this finds you. And I hope you find me too.
I¡¯ve never been enraged with the ¡°acknowledgment¡± word before because it only meant I finished yet another novel. It¡¯s rather fulfilling. But this time¡ I was not ready to close the book yet, I guess? Because I need more consolation?
They literally bickered each time, fought¡ªokay, foreplayed (The Cutting Edge reference, ya feel me?) for at least 85% of the book, then 10% of uncertainty and being unsure of what to really feel and to acknowledge, and finally 5% of surrendering to each other. I think I kinda need another 10% to ease my feelings and grant my satisfaction¡ªto validate the gratification because I think it fell too shortly after the cabin storm scene. Because it¡¯s what we like about angst¡ªthe satisfaction of what comes after the long stares, build-up tensions, pining, and whatever¡ªGod knows what obstacle characters are dealing with. In short, I NEED MORE.
But it¡¯s such a cute novel with enemies to lovers trope. Very entertaining that once you open the book, you¡¯re seated all the way through. I didn¡¯t even plan to read this and now I¡¯m closing last page of the book. So unputdownable. My 10h reading this? Worth it.
It felt like reading Anne and Gilbert if they starred in To All The Boys I¡¯ve Loved Before Digital version. I adored Julius¡¯ scowls and caring nature and rooted for Sadie all the way. Loved the redemption arc of Rosie. Generally, I loved when things finally went to its proper places. The characters and their character developments! Except James aka Dickwad and Danny aka Asshat.
Overall, I¡¯m grateful the novel found me. In Angst, we always trust. And a sequel please. I will insanely manifest. Thank you....more

It's filled with muscles, sweet sweat, and beautiful boys that will hook you into reading until you have devoured the last page.
Kaho Hibi is an avid fan of muscles that she's one step closer to becoming a pervert with her binoculars always on her hands, spying for any existing males with muscles. One day, she planned to sneak a peek at the rumored muscle prince, Natsume, in their school's varsity team and instead, due to an accident, became face-to-face with the said guy. Natsume found out about Hibi's enthusiasm for muscles, and he asked her to be the basketball team's manager. And as if the muscle-thirsty girl wouldn't pass on this glorious opportunity!
This is such a hilarious, sweet, and cute read. I'd die of nosebleeds too. I love the adorable art style and the muscle-crazy heroine! It literally brought me back to my Free! fangirling days, with Natsume's muscle fanservice for Hibi¡ªyes, I'm talking about the naked plus apron panel, and the bare top with an open varsity jacket! Anyone who loved Gou Matsuoka from Free! should definitely read this series!
I know, I received a reader's advance copy like months ago (was it March? Now, I feel so bad) and I'm only returning the feedback now, I'm sorry! Still, my gratitude to the ever-generous Kodansha Comics and Netgalley for providing me with an advanced reading copy of this series in exchange for an honest review!

Shy and inexpressive Sawa Hanasaki recently broke up with his boyfriend because she got cheated on. Upon hearing the news, the dedicated and ever-motivated Yuma Sakura appeared in front of Sawa with the face of a winner, professing his honest feelings for her. Because of this direct confession that clearly messes with Sawa's nature, she straight-up rejected the guy. If it was anyone else, they had given up already, but blunt and determined Sakura is set up to win her heart. Will Sawa finally surrender to Sakura's dedication, and open up her heart to the abstract thing that we call love? The taste of unforgettable love, that is saccharine and syrupy on the first bite. Fuyu Yukimiya unfailingly gave life to the flavorful story of honest young love and affection in this new series.

Hands-down one of the best, unputdownable manga series I¡¯ve read in a while. There¡¯s not even a moment to pause and breathe air¡ªyou¡¯ll devour this in one whole. That¡¯s how readable the series is with its interesting dynamics, hooking, fitting misfit of a couple. This is sweet, melancholic at times, cute, and just flavorful. Just perfectly told in a beautiful art style.
EVEN HALVARD IS PERFECT. I thought he¡¯s going to start a conflict or something that will make me curse him but no. He¡¯s a cinnamon roll!...more

They are so in love that¡¯s why I adore them! The relationship is just so healthy that I cried! The family matters made me emotional too. This is a very fitting conclusion to the story that never died in my bl-invaded world. Thank you so much, sensei!...more
