Preliminary (14/? eps)

If you're looking for a romantic comedy that's light and will make your day better, this is a manga you should absolutely read.

Mind you, I am not into romance and prefer action/adventure. But what made this super captivating for me was how appealing the story was. It gives a similar vibe to the Kaguya-sama: Love is War series. It really hooks you as you wonder how they'll navigate their feelings and the backstories behind each character as to why they act a certain way or why they won't act the way the readers would want them to immediately. It's a great manga to pass ...
