ピンクとハバネロ [Pink to Habanero] #1
Pink & Habanero, vol. 1
She wants a boyfriend―anyone but him. He wants girls to buzz off. Sucks for them ’cos he’s paid to please princesses! High school freshman Mugi can barely muster the confidence to talk to a boy, much less to take one on a date. Plus, the first time she meets Kei Kurose, the wrong sort of sparks fly―even if Kei is head-turningly hot, who could put up with the way he treats girls like trash? Mugi has no patience for his rude attitude, but when she just so happens to discover the scandalous secret of his part-time job, she might have to learn to keep his trust!

I honestly feel this is closer to a four-star read for me, but I had so much fun reading this that I decided to bump it to five stars!
Does Kei really act like a jerk in the beginning? OH MY GOODNESS YES!! I'm pretty sure that I verbally agreed with Mugi's statement of him being a jerk every single time she said it because he really was!
However, cheers for his younger sister because she was his biggest redeeming point! LOL! I would also say I liked him a lot more by the end and could see that he IS a good guy with some good qualities. I was actually surprised that for the amount of mean looks he gives Mugi throughout the volume, he is willing to help her with a certain "problem" at the end. I honestly thought it was the perfect setup for the next volume because there is no doubt it will lead the two of them to be a lot closer!
I really liked Mugi a lot! She's an earnest shoujo heroine who I found inspiring but also one I could relate to. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more of her hilarious facial expressions because I laughed SO much at the faces she would make!
The story itself doesn't seem "groundbreaking," but I definitely had a wonderful time reading this first volume! I have high expectations for the second volume and eagerly looking forward to seeing how this "love story" will play out because it's sure to be a fun one!

Now that she’s in high school, Mugi is waiting for her prince to come. When she meets the aloof and blunt Kei, he couldn’t be farther from that ideal. Except he turns out to be a part-time knight, of sorts, and that secret is going to cause both of them trouble.
Sometimes basic, basic shojo can feel very boring; it takes a lot to do the greatest hits right and not have that lingering familiarity hover over it like the ghost of ‘this school doesn’t allow part-time jobs’ past.
While there is lots of same old same in this one, the little nuggets that shine through are, admittedly, pretty bright. Which makes it not a wholehearted recommend, but there’s definitely enough here for a good time.
You wouldn’t know that at the start, however. I do not mind romance manga that devolves into wild mugging, that’s part of the charm, but it has to look good. Mugi’s faces are some of the worst I’ve seen since My Love Mix-Up and add little to the events. Sakura’s Dedication this is not.
Practically everything good in this story comes when it ditches its attempts at comedy and goes right for the usual swoonery instead. The instant where Mugi bumps into Kei at his part-time job at a ‘knight cafe’ and they recognize one another is a real moment (not quite a capital M, but close).
Weirdly, the narrative alternates between being super fun and woefully derivative. The part-time job thing pays off, then Kei begins glaring at Mugi so she keeps his secret, then a classmate asks Mugi to meet him after class and the countdown is on before he reveals what he’s actually after. That part is especially boring because it’s dead obvious what’s about to happen.
Although Mugi’s friends are a bit whatever, I have to add here that Kei’s bros are a great laugh and they have the personality of the kind of clowns you expect teenage boys to be around one another. I loved their role in the story.
Then the pendulum swings back and Mugi tries to go to a mixer to find a guy. Of course, it is a tenet of the Shojo Manga Drinking Game (tm) that you can drink the second the mixer goes wrong. Which it will. As sure as the sun rises. And does so here.
This leads to precocious younger sister of the male lead, who’s actually kind of a hoot. Young kids in manga tend to be pretty funny and the result of her attempts to get Mugi’s Line ID are great.
And then, it’s back to the ‘oh, but he has a girlfriend, and definitely it’s not me misunderstanding everything, except it is’. Like I said, this oscillates so much it could pass for a desk fan.
We end with a really fun blackmail arc that looks to conclude next time, but lets Mugi actually stand up for herself and take charge of things rather than just wobbling all over the place.
Kei can be cold, but as far as prettyboys in shojo go, he’s definitely pulling off the look and it was fun to see the guy being the one with the glasses for a change. I feel we don’t get that as often.
And when he and Mugi are both in the zone, he’s downright charming and she’s… Mugi… but, I don’t dislike her when she isn’t mugging. She could just stand to have more of a personality. I mean, at least she isn’t passive, but I don’t think I could tell you a thing about her after this volume.
You could do worse and I would stick this into the same category as something like Last Game. It’s not here to be the wild upending of the genre, but it’s doing a pretty good job where it counts. It’s just a little too rote at times.
3 stars - I could see this going higher if it either shores up its comedy, focuses more on the romance aspects, or veers off from slavishly following some of the more tedious tropes. But for now, an acceptable start, just not an outstanding one.

It’s literally Maid Sama but in an another universe!! Like the confession scene and the whole knight café thing?! I’m down for it!
Kurose Kei’s character is amusing, I find him kinda funny. Especially that part where he starts staring lol
That scene where she wipes the lipstick is sad, and my heart literally squeezed when he picked the lipstick up and applied it on her T^T

Miyao is so cute! Kurose clearly cares for her and I stan a grumpy sweetheart.

So cute. Kurose is kind of jerk, but also so sweet?
September 16, 2024
This was a good start to a series. Mugi has started at a new high school. Her best friend is at a different school and it takes her a moment to realise she has no friends. It’s not easy to make new friends when you’re a bit awkward, but it’s even more difficult to get a boyfriend, and she really wants one not to feel left out. Unfortunately all the boys who approach her only want the contact info of her best friend.
The only exception is Kei Kurose, the coolest boy in her class. Everyone wants to be with him, but he rejects everyone and is rude about it too. Mugi finds him insufferable, but then she stumbles on his secret: he works at a café where he has to dress as a knight. She promises to keep it a secret, but it keeps throwing them together. Little by little, she starts to realise he’s nicer than she thought. It’s quite not a friendship yet, but they’re about to become closer, because someone is blackmailing Mugi to stay away from him or they’ll reveal his secret. The volume ends with that cliffhanger.
Yet another high school romance where opposites attract, but it was cute and fun, and I’d be interested in reading more. Art was good.

➸ 4 stars ★★★★
i love a good shojo manga! hadn't heard a lot about Pink & Habanero until more recently on manga twt and it gave the silly & cute romcom vibes! The unique plot follows high school freshman Mugi who lacks the confidence in talking to guys, but when she learns a secret about one of the most popular (and rude) guys in her class, they soon find themselves in eachother's orbit! The unique plot and slow-building romance made this a fun YA romcom! 𐙚 ₊ ⊹ ♡
Most manga I read are now fantasy or I'm often just very picky with the romance/shojo titles, but I've had really great luck with the one's I've found recently, including Pink & Habanero - which I learned about thanks to the publisher! Mugi is starting her freshman year without her best friend Lilli and lacks the skills to talk to guys in her class, more of semi-introvert. But when she notices the most popular guy, Kei Kurose, in her class continuously reject girls she makes a blunt comment and catches his attention, then at a local cafe she learns that he works there (and actually acts *nice as a chivalrous knight / server) and now that she's the only one who knows his secret, they unsurprisingly get closer.
Mugi is an awkward somewhat introverted mc, but seeing her make a friend + figure out her feelings over the first volume made her one of the more developed characters. Kei has his layers but so far it makes his character feel rather stilted and cliche, so because of that while there are moments from when he defends Mugi from another guy & shows he secretly cares about her (in a few pivotal scenes - like okay he carried her when she tripped in the rain, that was actually sweet) his personality feels one note so I'm hoping there's more development on his side as the future volumes go on.
It reminded me of the early 2000's / 90's shojo anime I've been watching recently, so of course there's cliche moments but it was overall so entertaining and actually pretty funny. The characters felt pretty typical of the genre and the guy mc is a jerk a lot of the time and very blunt/honest so that archetype is kinda tough to read about but there were a few glimmers of his kinder side (very little) so I'm interested to see him grow across the series.
The plot was fast-paced and Mugi's voice keeps the story interesting. The romance is at the core of this series, but I'm delighted there was an evenly explored plot within this first volume. If anything, again not that its entirely cliche but there's the unique concept that kept me invested.
Satonaka's artwork has great character designs and a variance in paneling during more pivotal scenes that add the emotional tension!
I'll definitely be checking out the future volumes and see where the series is headed.

I am pleasantly surprised by this. I started off thinking I wasn't going to like it. The way the girls' faces are drawn sometimes are with very large round eyes and small features with no contours, so they look very 1 dimensional compared to everyone else. That description alone essentially describes most females in manga, but it's super exaggerated and distracting in the beginning. I'm not sure if that improved as the book went on or if I fell into the story and it just didn't matter any more. Plus, Mugi has so many crazy expressions that she looks like she's been struck by lightning on every other page or so. 😂 But then Kei...damn. Yes, glasses please. ♥╣[-_-]╠♥
I read enough shojo that I'm so sick of the tropes. But, I know that authors are expected to hit the tropes whether they want to or not, whether it's manga or novels. Genre fiction has tropes and apparently most readers like to see them. Several trope boxes get ticked here. I think the only one that I tend to find funny is the kobedon! bc it's so overdone that most mangaka have fun with it or use a different sound effect so I end up yelling KOBEDON! in my head instead and giggling. 🤣 Yeah, I'm a dork. And yeah, there's at least one KOBEDON! in this volume.
I really liked this. It's funny, it's sweet in its own way, and it's a feel good read. Mugi could use some more personality and character development. She reminds me a lot of a generic/under developed Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket. But we don't know anything about Mugi. Does she have both parents? Siblings? Hopefully we get to learn more about her in volume 2.

So, I mostly enjoy this story so far.
In this first volume, we’re introduced to timid but ambitious Mugi and handsome but abrasive Kei. Both are high schoolers in the same class. When Mugi discovers a secret about Kei, it puts these two polar opposites suddenly on a collision course with each other.
I think it’s hard to write a genuinely distinctive shoujo series these days. More, I think the genre still relies on a lot of tropes that have lost their sheen.
So, as a result, many of these series are having to navigate both telling an interesting story and not alienating a contemporary audience with outdated premises.
It’s a lot to ask for.
So, that being the case, I think this series is doing fairly well.
Is it still relying on some lackluster tropes? Yes, somewhat. But, I also think it’s trying to do the best it can given the genre circumstances. For what it’s worth, the series seems to be avoiding some more contemptuous issues.
Anyway.
I’m interested enough in reading more.
This first volume actually did a decent job of bringing the story to an exciting cliff hanger—I want to know where the story is going next. So, kudos.
If you tend to enjoy a contemporary romance series in a high schooler setting, you may enjoy this one too~

Keep your friends close and the people who know your secrets, closer!
An unlikely friendship with a male lead who has a scandalous secret and the girl who knows, and can’t tell anyone about it! There’s blackmail involved, so who dunnit!
The dynamics between the characters are sweet as they are chaotic. They complement each other with their partners-in-crime dynamics. Mugi is a solid protagonist with a good head on her shoulders and Kei’s character makes me want to learn more about him.
Who is this manga for
This shojo manga is for audiences who are into the cute girl falls for cold boy (or a tsundere in this case) trope! This one is great for fans of shorter reads!

This was a cute read! It started off a bit odd, but with each chapter, the story became sweeter. While there’s nothing particularly groundbreaking about the plot, I did appreciate the unique way Mai ended up getting Kei’s number—it was a small but charming touch. Kei’s mix of coldness and warmth, along with the classic "he’s just a great guy, just completely misunderstood" trope, isn’t exactly new, but it remains appealing.
There wasn’t anything negative about this first volume, and I quite enjoyed it. I’m looking forward to seeing where the story goes—hopefully, it will deliver some unexpected twists along the way. Fingers crossed!

I binged this series last night so I’m gonna do my review for all of this on this.
I loved kei but sometimes this man needed to chill out, like he told someone else miyao was a freak Infront of miyao. But that’s like his whole thing is he’s “blunt and direct” but sometimes he was just a bitch. But he’d also do the cutest shit, like miyao tripped and hurt her ankle so he carried her, this isn’t even the cutest thing he did for her but I don’t want to spoil too much.
Miyao was embarrassing but which shojo girl isn’t

This introductory volume has me hooked, which is super unfortunate because this series is actively being released; I will have to be patient for the other volumes.
Plot-wise it is pretty standard for a Shoujo: a plain, insecure, quirky girl (Mugi) becomes entangled with a hot, popular, gruff boy (Kei) with a secret (or three). I am curious to see where it goes from here - I want to know who is blackmailing them!
