I'm gonna give one general review for the entire manga here:
The male lead acts as a cutesy boy idol but in reality is borderline yandere/major simp for the female lead. His real personality is just 🔥 🥵
The female lead acts like more like his mom and is a bit of ditsy airhead but she means well. These 2 go from childhood friends to fake mom/adopted son to lovers to strangers to gangsters to housekeeper to lovers! Yup, it's one long hilarious ride where, everyone but the male lead, questions their sexuality 🤣 😆
Her 2 girl-friends are the only sane ones in this whole story 🙇♀️
3.5 stars 💕
P.s. You would need to turn off your brain to enjoy this kind of shoujo manga lol
I have mixed feelings on this. One one hand it's quite funny, especially when the central relationship is viewed from an outsider perspective, so we can see that not just the reader, but also the side characters are side-eyeing this odd relationship. On the other hand, Souta is clearing manipulating Rizu in a way that bothers the heck out of me in real life-men who feign helplessness to get a woman to "mother" them. To be fair though, he manipulates everyone. Plus, Rizu, even with her occasional claims otherwise, doesn't seem too bothered by his dependence on her. I think I'll just have to take this a volume at a time.
Que si grite en el último capítulo? pues si... Demasiado bello!
Está historia me hizo reír bastante, el protagonista es gracioso con esa doble personalidad y Rizu es una personaje tierno pero fuerte, amé a esta parejita!
I got this before I realized that I hadn't liked the last thing I read by this author (Gakuen Prince 1), and was therefore very pleasantly surprised. It's more funny than mean, although like most shoujo romances, the problems could all be solved by the characters actually talking to each other.
Mostly just read this to see what the experience of reading manga in Overdrive was like, but I did enjoy it! It's a weird premise (a very manipulative boy has convinced his female best friend that he's helpless without her because he wants to keep her close, but since this makes her regard him in the light of an annoying younger brother he still isn't having any success on the romance front and is mostly occupied with scaring away her other suitors, displaying a terrifying level of competence whenever she isn't around) and it could definitely get creepy, but so far it's mostly okay. (CW for attempted sexual assault by a minor character, though it's interrupted before it gets very far.) There's also a long one-shot about a boy who gets possessed by the ghost of a recently departed girl who wants to confess to her beloved senpai before departing the mortal plane. The art is very cute.
Going into this manga, I was expecting something more like the other "prince" named titles ive read. However I am very interested with this manga and can see myself reading the others. There is an air about it that is something I have yet to experience.
It's really impressive how deceptive Souta is with almost a jeckle-hyde personality difference. I personally think it's creepy and disrespectful to behave that way in real life but it is interesting as a story to explore. In actually intrigued to see what's next.

✨Synopsis✨
Rizu spends her life protecting her childhood friend, Souta Nanami, as he is very naive and dependent, so her friend feels the need to help him all the time... But... Is Souta as weak as she thinks?
✨Review✨
This was a shooker, there is no question. From chapter 1 you have the plot twist, which is Nanami's character. It's just, like i don't want to spoil, just read this manga. NOW, NOW.
