Summary:
Spare eraser? Check. Extra folding umbrella? Check. First aid kit? Check. Cool and collected high school student Risa Amakawa has something in her heavy bag for every situation and the last thing she needs or knows how to ask for is anyone’s help. When she saves a beat-up delinquent in the park one rainy evening, she refuses any sort of repayment.
But it turns out that saving the notorious Zen Ohira buys her the attention of some unsavory characters. As Zen keeps swooping in to help her out of one pickle after another, her feelings about relying on anyone but herself and her feelings toward Zen slowly begin to change. A new romcom from the author of Lovesick Ellie.

Graphics Rating: 3/5
Plot Rating: 4/5
Opinion: This ones cute. It’s just starting but I really feel like it’s the new generations “Mars“. I don’t know if it will be as deep or as lasting, but it’s geared that way.
The art is ok. Honestly it doesn’t stand out and it’s quite plain. It isn’t in any way bad just not my favourite.
The plot is kinda cute. I love an “opposites attract”. I don’t often fall for the second male lead but I do like his story. It’s still very surface level drama but it feels like there is more to be revealed.
Final Rating: 4/5
