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

Can we please stop with the "this character looks like an adult, but is actually a middle schooler !" trope ? It just feels like it was done to make the male MC as much of an outcast as possible. It also looks incredibly awkward, which I know is also the point, when he's with the female MC, who actually looks like a middle schooler.

The opening scene of this manga felt quite bizzare, and I'm not really sure what it was establishing. I feel like we're never really able to connect with the characters, and no time is given to actually develop the relationship between the two MCs before the twist happens. The pacing of this book goes at breakneck speed to where it feels a bit soulless, and just way too rushed.

The description for this manga sounds intriguing and piqued my interest, but the execution is choppy, and I just didn't find myself caring about the characters in the end.
