Story:
The synopsis for this manga is quite accurate, so I won't explain the story again. For myself, despite this being a shoujo manga and I am a male, I think it's very entertaining! Some might think it's a generic story of a cool delinquent and high school girl, but it is actually really eye-catching. Once you start reading, you just want to keep going. The story is pretty fast-paced, so they resolve their problems without procrastinating a lot. 4 chapters in, they usually ... can solve their problems within that individual chapter (Fast-paced, including their romance part). This makes the story really satisfying to read. The first chapter laid the ground for this manga, like showing the personalities of the characters. Read the first chapter, if you like it, you will most likely love the rest of the story. If you didn't, then I'm afraid this probably isn't for you. Overall, I think its the best to read it without thinking much. It's important to enjoy rather than criticize everything they do.

Characters:
I haven't read a lot of shoujo manga, so I don't know if male characters in shoujo manga are always shown like this...but the main male character, Zen, really looks really damn cool and is well presented. The author has a sense of fashion, which was also demonstrated in other side-characters. Zen himself, has a very good demeanor. He is supposed to be a delinquent, but under that cover is a helpful person towards his friend and community. He is protective of Risa, our main female character, but also does not lose his sweetness. I don't know if this makes sense lol. On the other hand, Risa is a bit of an absurd character, being a "self-sufficient" character. She is the type to solve everything on her own, act independently, and keep everything to herself. She needs someone to help her, and that's when Zen comes in. Again, a bit generic, but this dynamic does work. As for the reason why she is like this, it would be explored deeper in the story.

Problems (?!)
If I have to say a problem, I noticed in the first chapter, the panels were a bit confusing to understand, such as skipping movements. But I believe this problem was solved in the later chapters. Apart from that, it feels like the author was trying really hard to craft this "perfect" characteristic of Zen. Zen is like a knight, showing up every time Risa is in trouble, and having almost no weakness. I'm not saying it's a bad thing and it's totally fine with me, but some people could find that annoying. Then, almost all of the delinquents no matter good or bad, are all beautiful-looking teenagers. Obviously, you expect this in a shoujo manga, but it might annoy some people, who think it's not realistic. I don't know, I'm not one of these types of people.

To conclude, I don't really have too much to say as I suck at writing and expressing my ideas. What I want to convey is that only 4 chapters in, it's interesting, I think people should give it a try, no matter their gender.

note: It's the first time I'm writing something like this, and I'm not even sure if this will make any sense to people because expressing my ideas isn't a review. But I tried. English isn't my first language, so excuse me for grammar mistakes. Thanks for reading.

Why have a heard no one talk about this it’s such a cute and wholesome manga I love it so much. The story may look basic but it has its own turns and I like that it makes it unique. The art style is absolutely beautiful no complains along with the characters each having a unique personality which just made them shine above each. I love how each character feels like they could be a real person and responding to situations in a real way. I feel like this is a manga that is really simple to understand and many people will enjoy. In my ... opinion this is a solid 9/10. I can’t wait to see what this manga has in store.

I saw there was only one review on this amazing manga so I decided to write one.

I will not include any spoilers in my review :) (the manga is not finished yet)

First of all, I wanted to start with the reasons to why I really liked this manga; unlike many other romance mangas, I personally really enjoyed the originality of the vibe in this one, it is not cliché and is very fun to read with the comedic touches to it. Another point that was pleasing to me is that the romance isn't too slow, it develops in a rapid and constant pace but it ... is completely perfect, not too fast not too slow which lets the characters to develop and understand each other before the romance comes in instead of 100 chapters of missed chances to confess that are present in many mangas.

The characters are very likeable too, Zen despite being a delinquent is shown as being a very fun, sweet and caring individual to his friends and acquaintances. Even if Zen is very protective or Risa, it is not too exaggerated which makes it more cute; Risa is at first portrayed as this stoic and cold person but opens up her softer side little by little with the help of Zen. The character design is very well done, the characters are very cute.

The art too, was amazing; I love how it conveys the emotions that are felt by the characters to the readers by putting shades / lights / closeups of the characters etc.

Overall, I know this manga isn't finished yet but I tried giving some of my opinion on it to convince you that you should give this cute manga a shot! I hope we will get an anime adaptation once it finishes being published ^^

Thank u for reading my review :>

I love this manga I just started reading it after seeing a manga page on an manga acct page on instagram, I’ve been into romance anime lately and … being a fan of Tokyo revengers, loving delinquents, sweet guys on motorcycles, and love mixed together makes this an absolutely fun and exciting read, the only sad part it only has 9 chapters released but I have to say the art style is 10/10 highly recommend this one (: an easy read

I do believe the charming bad boy guy falling for the goody girl who has a crush on someone else always leads to an ... awesome genuine love story

Short enough to binge, (stil on going and only 16 chapters right now)
The MC of this manga is very original and unique, her unique personality makes her very appealing and likable to the reading which I admire.

She’s strong and independent, but has flaws of her own which are recognized and shared with ease.

The ML is very unique too, he is a delinquent but very sweet and caring, not just towards the MC but to everyone he cherishes.

I really like the realistic approach to their relationship, and how the couple expresses their love to one another. They aren’t going through all of this unnecessary ... stuff, just cute and simple love.

and even though this is a short ongoing series I really enjoyed reading and experiencing their relationship when reading. I enjoyed it very much so I recommend!
