So basically I found out that this manga is going to become an anime in the Fall 2023 season on Myanimelist and had to check it out because my god, that cover has me sold! While reading through it, I was literally in awe with the art especially with the characters faces close up like my god, it felt like I was reading a professional artists artwork portfolio! Now I will say, the FL is rather young enough for ML who is 26 years old. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve read quite a good amount of age gap relationship manga but it just won’t work ... for real obviously so it might leave a impression for some to think it would be ok when it’s obviously not to date a highschooler. As well while reading this manga, I hated the fact that the attempted rape scene with Tanuki towards the FL was swept under the rug as if they weren’t a big deal. He was really such a creep and definitely needs the cops to woop his azz like wtf?!

Well it was a typical Shoujo-ish spicy romance manga, it still was a good enough read to admire the art, the couple and the other characters (besides Tanuki) surrounding them. Story was average enough but sweet enough to make your heart melt lol!

Oh boy. I thought I would enjoy this a lot more. The premise was so up my alley; age gap, he's her bodyguard and a gangster... What could possibly go wrong, right? Well, it's more or less your regular high school shoujo. Like he's older, but you'd never guess because not only he goes to school with her, but he's involved in the school stuff too, and also acts like a high school boy.
Towards the last few chapters that have been translated, it seems like some gangster plot is building up, which is the only reason I gave it a 6, but otherwise, it ... has nothing that makes it stand out. Also, the art is beautiful, so I guess props are due for that.

Give it a try, but keep in mind you won't see anything new if, like me, you've read many shoujo already.

How the fuck did this steaming pile of garbage get an anime adaptation? Every character sucks, the plot sucks, the "romance" sucks. So fucking angry from reading this.

Lets see. You have overprotective borderline yandere ML who has the creepiest faces ever in every damn situation and the most ill-timed punchable chibi version. Sure whatever, not enough for me to drop it. But he never evolves past this trope-indulging premise and drags down the setting along with it especially when MC makes somewhat of an effort to be some sort of a character. And MC gets groped and almost raped he doesn't even live up to ... his stupid unlikeable premise and doesn't do his damn job and beat the shit out of that guy meanwhile he'll "all men are wolves" and interfere with MC building bonds with males that aren't him.

The romance is truly fucking atrocious. It's so obvious that ML is into MC romantically but she's so fucking stupid and says "he's probably not even conscious of me >m<" even though he makes it abundantly clear over and over again in very boundary-violating ways. None of this is helped by how the MC is a piece of cardboard who can barely react to the situations that transpire around her. A lot of this has to do with the fact that the whole "yakuza" thing could have taken out and nothing would have changed at all, except ML would have no justification to be creepy and hover around her everywhere and sexually harass her. Yeah if you haven't noticed by now ML is also a piece of cardboard outside of his quirky tropes. No wonder there's no POV or internal dialogue because I swear there's nothing in his godforsaken head.

I'm not even going to talk about the second ML imfaooo it's that bad and he's so poorly handled

Don't waste your time on this like I did
