Family, school, and life all start to go wrong, too… It’s sweet but naïve boy meets cute but ruthless girl in this 21st-century manga rom-com!

The two share some delightful moments together despite Kazuya’s increasing anxiety over that unanswered question. Just when he thinks things might actually work out between them, there’s an emergency close to home! Will the unfortunate situation actually bring him closer to Mizuhara?!
