Thank you so much to Kodansha Comics and NetGalley for providing me with an e-ARC; it is greatly appreciated.

This story moves very quickly, but it feels just right. This volume sets up the situation that will drive the plot forward. It's definitely more original than most high school scenarios, and I really appreciate it for that. The fact that it's a love triangle with technically only two people puts an interesting twist on things.

The art style suits the story well as both are cute and fluffy. I do wish there was a little more detail in the art, but that's just a personal preference and doesn't hinder the story in any way.

I do hope we get to see a bit more of the home life of the main girl. The message from the author at the end of this volume does state that volume two will be more about fleshing out the characters, and that's exactly what I'm wanting. I think this is a manga that I will continue to follow for now, because it's not everyday that you get to read a cute love story with aliens.
