Fed up with being hopelessly single, high schooler Erika makes up a boyfriend to fit in. When her lies start to unravel, her schoolmate Kyoya offers to be her pretend boyfriend—for a price. With no other choice, Erika finds herself at the mercy of a blackhearted prince! But is Kyoya truly as blackhearted as he seems?

Things get rocky for Erika and Kyoya once again when discontent leads to an argument. Erika vents to Terasaki about the fight, only for him to confess to her once more! She manages to smooth things over with Kyoya but doesn’t tell him about Terasaki’s confession, opting to turn him down on her own. But when Terasaki refuses to accept rejection, his attitude takes a turn for the worse!

Kyouya and Erika are still fighting.
Erika is jealous because Kasai acts so 'casual' towards Kyouya. And Kyouya seems okay with that. Usually Kyouya isn't that kind of guy though.

Kyouya is also jealous because Erika seems getting closer to Terapon, and Kyouya is sure that Terapon still has feelings towards Erika.

Their fight is getting worse when both Terapon and Kasai are suggesting Erika and Kyouya to break up. Because they often having (small) fights and look so incompatible.

The school trip is coming but they both are still fighting.. Erika was so looking forward to that trip before. But with this fight, how this trip would turn out?


OMG seriously I dislike Kasai so much! She's a total bitch!! (╬◣д◢)
But in this volume we get to see more of Kyouya's Tsundere-ness. I love how protective he actually is towards Erika ♥♥♥

Sata-kun jealous! Sata-kun jealous!
My heart is exploding, my heart is exploding!

Anyways, I'm actually scared of Terapon.

PLEASE TELL ME TAKERU + SAN IS A THING BECAUSE I'VE BEEN SHIPPING THEM SINCE THE START.

YES, this is full of random thoughts, but JESUS CHRIST, THIS VOLUME WAS ON FIREEEE!

This is probably one of the best installments to the story so far. Kyouya and Erika both set things straight and once again, Kyouya gets more than a little protective and possessive of Erika. The class trip starts, and thanks to their friends, they even have a cute little moment together there. Meanwhile it seems like there's some drama leaning with Sanda and Takeru. Neither one has seemed to have a real interest in a relationship of their own at this point, though they certainly do get along, especially since Takeru helped with her stalker. Curious to see if Erika was on the right track for once or missed the mark again.

Definitivamente Kyouya no deja de sorprenderme, creí que haría algo y ¡booom! ¡No es así! Es tan maduro, sabe y lucha por lo que quiere, además... ¡Sí que ama a Erika! ¡Esos tontos están hechos el uno para el otro! ¡Owwww! ¡Y sé seguirán luchando por lo suyo pese a todo y todos! ¡Los apoyo con todo mi ser! Fighting!

Y rayooooos, muero por leer la escena de cuando por fin pase lo que tiene que pasar entre ellos >______<



¡Oh!, también me encanta lo que está naciendo entre Takeru y Sanda, ufff, fangirleo con ellos desde hace ya varios tomos atrás <3

So we finally see the exciting conclusion of the love triangles(?) arc. Personally, I thought it was fine with the introduction of Kasai and Terapon because I thought it added another element in Kyouya and Erika's relationship. Nothing much really happened with Kasai but I was really surprised with Terapon's attitude. WELP.

Anyway, as that relationship ended, it looks like a new one is blosssoming soon? WELL THEN, on to the next volume! :)

nunca pensé en darle 5⭐️ a este manga PERO este volumen me ha gustado muchísimo (un gusto culposo pero quienes somos para juzgar); si bien la pelea entre kyoya y erika me ha parecido medio tonta y que obviamente con comunicación todo se hubiera resuelto fácilmente; me gusto que kyoya defendiera a erika y afirmara que ella es su novia ♡

What is happening in Japan in reference to the guy that has a crush on her. Also we got some dog references reagarding leashing her, which this is what I’m looking for in this series. But we got to truly see that he likes her, that is all I’m asking for. Somehow, he is still better than crazy old crush dude.

El final fue muy muy épico! Me está gustando demasiado como vienen estos últimos tomos. Hace que te den ganas de seguir, seguir y no parar.
