There was nothing golden about my time reading this book.

I saw someone in a group give this a good review and I thought the plot sounded cute (guy goes to law school and runs into his childhood best friend) but I just got this from the library- and the cover is like- straight-up porn. Also, my stepmom picked it up for me, so that was fun.

Let's jump right into it.

So yeah, like I said, idk what the heck if the novels are different or something but the first half of the book is basically just Kouko trying on bikinis that obviously don't fit her because she's trying to seduce her boyfriend or something.

Rq

In spicy manga, why is the girl always like a 10, and the guy she's crazy about is legit a 3 at best, can someone explain this to me.

The second half was like random incoherent mafia drama, even I could not understand what was going on.

1 star. For the male lead who seemed ironically nice and not a total perve.

I watched the anime based on this book series years ago. It caught my fancy. Firstly, because Kouko was stunningly animated. Secondly, because despite the trope of amnesia being used, Banri’s real struggle was one of self-identity, and I enjoyed how his struggle with mental health was treated, even if it did lean towards the melodramatic, and thirdly, I found the collegiate setting refreshing compared to the veritable deluge of high school themed anime out there.

All those elements were present in the book since the anime very closely follows the original story. I enjoyed the book, especially the depiction of Kouko’s beauty, which was always based on clothing and poise as opposed to the anime which focused on her poses. The drinking scenes were not nearly as obnoxious in this original source material, too. Unfortunately, my overall enjoyment was marred by a very stilted translation. The translator was likely technically correct, but his/her writing lacked flow and style—so bound was he/she to the literal translation of the words. There were many passages that were indecipherable as English because Japanese conversational filler was translated literally. Imagine if somebody translated our “um”, “like” and “ya know?” into another language, and you get an idea of what I am referring to. Yet I am grateful for this fan translation since the work isn’t commercially available. I wish I could credit the translator here, but they didn’t add their name to the translation.

Tada banri initially loved Linda. But he lost his memory due to an accident while on the bridge waiting for Linda. Linda promised to provide answers to a declaration of love Banri. But, Linda came too late.

After the accident, Banri not remember anyone, including Linda. Linda and Banri go to the same university. At the University, Banri meet again with Linda. But, Banri not remember with Linda.

At the university, he gained a new friend. Mitsuo, Oka Chinami, Kaga Kouko, Takaya Sato, Nana.

Kaga Kouko and Mitsuo are dating. Kaga Kouko always followed wherever Mitsuo go. She was very fond of Mitsuo, but Mitsuo didn't like her and always avoid her. Just Banri wants to be friends with Kouko. Long short story, they eventually begin a relationship.

I don't like Kouko because she is childish. I also don't like Banri who prefer Kouko. I don't like this story. I just like Linda and Oka Chinami in this story. For that, I only give it two stars for them.

I gave it 5 stars but its not my particular cup of tea. It was good art and story just not what I was looking for. It deserves the 5 stars its just a personal thought
