"Love makes people go crazy." Hikaru's always been told to be wary of love—it can make you do stupid things. Like abandon your dreams, or worse, fail your exams! Which is exactly what happens when she falls in love at first sight with Kairi Kira. The problem is, Hikaru's dreams of one day living it up in an expensive penthouse apartment relies on her first achieving academic success. Which is why she's going to have to nip this little love problem in the bud. If Kairi rejects her and breaks her heart, she'll be able to get over her feelings and focus on her grades. Except Kairi insists on becoming her girlfriend, which is definitely not part of the plan! But this should be fine, right? She just has to get used to splitting her time and attention. Or... she could, if Kairi would let her! (Source: Kodansha USA)

Read the full take

Love makes people go crazy. Hikaru has always been told to be wary of love, because it can make you do stupid things, like abandon your dreams or, worse, fail your exams. The premise is a light romcom about a girl whose upbringing says love is dangerous, and the crush that tests that rule.The strength is the comedy. Hikaru's cautious logic is funny, and her flustered attempts to resist are endearing. The short chapters keep the tone bright.The weaknesses are about scope. The series is short, so the romance has limited room to grow, and some jokes repeat. Readers wanting depth may find it light.Recommended for readers who enjoy quick, funny romcoms. Expect a cheerful read that is best enjoyed as a treat.
