Those Not-So-Sweet Boys
Also known as: Amakunai Karera no Nichijou wa., 甘くない彼らの日常は。, 他們的日常微微苦澀
by Youko Nogiri
Midori drops her wallet on her first day of high school, but her new classmate Ichijo swoops in to help. She wants to thank him, but he’s part of a tight-knit trio and none of them are ever in class! Rumor has it that they all got expelled for acting up, and studious Midori’s actually at risk of expulsion, too… In order to help support her family, she has a part-time job, which is against the school rules. When the chairman of the school board catches her leaving work, he says he’ll let it go—but only if she’s up to the task of bringing the three boys back to school. Well, why not? It’ll be a piece of cake…right? (Source: Kodansha USA) Note: Includes one extra chapter.

Midori drops her wallet on her first day of high school, but her new classmate Ichijo swoops in to help. She wants to thank him, but he is part of a tight-knit trio, and none of them are easy to approach. The premise is a light romcom about a small kindness that leads to a group of friends and a crush.The strength is the warmth. Midori's gratitude and her awkward attempts to thank Ichijo are sweet, and the trio's friendship is lively. The school setting feels fresh and fun.The weaknesses are about pace. The romance develops slowly, and some jokes repeat. Readers wanting a faster story may find it leisurely.Recommended for fans of sweet school romances. Expect a warm, friendly read that is best enjoyed in steady doses.
