Omg plz update soon

My heart is beating!

Why did the new chapter upload in spanish!!!!! I am confused

So cute and romantic!! I love it so much<33 update more...please~

Oh god..... so HOT~

I remember reading this a while back on another site probably, or I just forgot to leave a review. Even though the start is way too fast and they have sex all the time, this manga is basically more sex than story, but I did love it. I remember I often felt irritated and fed up with the FL's constant insecurity. The difference in their maturity was painfully obvious. This has a drama too, or a movie? I can't remember which but I haven't seen it yet.
I might come back to this in the future, right now I've read to many smut mangas with annoying female leads, I don't think I can deal with Risa right now.
The art isn't even that amazing, Risa's eyes look freakishly huge in some scenes, but this manga is purely for wish fulfilment. If you really stop to think about it, you'd realize it's basically a trashy, japanese softcore version of 50 shades.

This review was made until chapter Ch.9.5, if the story improves from there on then this review probably would be invalid (probably, it may or may not get better), maybe someday I will come back here to update my opinion, but I don't see it happening anytime soon.

I didn't enjoy this manga, so therefore it means that I didn't like it, this is probably the last chapter that I'm going to read, but I wanted to understand myself what I didn't like about it...

First, I don't get why he's so inlove with her, yeah sure, she's cute, but the way he treats her is like she has done something special for him or like she is really unique; But she barely speaks, she's always blushing and they have never had a real conversation, I just don't get it.

Second, it feels like this story is just trying to fulfill a "female fantasy". Thing that I dislike, it's like "50 shades of Grey" in that regard, they just put in a lot of ideas of what they think a girl fantasize about in order that the reader can think of herself as if she was Risa (put herself in her position, kinda like in "Diabolik Lovers" where the protagonist had 0 charisma nor personality in that regard), and that's something that I don't enjoy at all, yeah, sure, everyone wants romance in their life, but in order to make a compelling story the characters must have something [at least] resembling of a personality. Like a comment that I read before:

"Funny to see... That she doesn't need to have confidence, intellect, personality, common sense or social skills to land a high profile, competent and clever CEO (who must've fired people like that at some point in his career). I guess a pretty face and excessive awkwardness sufficed ┑(￣Д ￣)┍"

Third, there's no real plot. What is the plot? What is the conflict? I feel like this story was meant to be a 5 chapter thing (or a oneshot), and now out of nowhere they are trying to make sparks of little conflicts just for it to keep going, when it's not even necessary. For the first 10 chapters I remember that in this comment section we were all thinking that he was hiding something, some people were even saying that he could be a murderer, but we were reacting like that because there was absolutely no reason to why he fell inlove with her at THAT DEGREE, she was not even a crush to him, he acts like he is really inlove with her & he doesn't even know her! He hasn't had a real conversation with her neither! And because this manga has absolutely no conflict at all nor character development we were trying find a reason to why he was so obsessed with her, it felt (still feels) empty.

And finally, the pace is ridiculously fast. You could have fixed my first three problems and specially this one (obviously), if the pace wasn't so freaking fast; The plot could have been about [this girl with countryside mannerism that starts feeling something for this guy in a café & he for her too, so they start meeting once in a while until she finds out blah, blah, blah], that's a plot, and it was not hard at all, the same story but with better pace (and let's be honest, way less creepier, cause he would have had a reason to fall in love). They could have developed it in order that this didn't feel like "50 shades" or "Diabolik Lovers", with just a shallow protagonist with a vulgar/cliché story of fantasies-fulfillment, because it could have had a real plot & not an excuse to just show a perfect rich guy giving it all for this incompetent girl who he barely knows, you know, she's not even that beautiful, in manga sometimes there are characters that when you see them drawn you can't avoid thinking "WOW, she/he is really beautiful", Risa has never made me think something like that. And if they have met slowly (and make them help each other in some situations, like, you know, having a real plot & character development) I would get why he's so in love with her, but no, no, no, no. Like another comment here said:

"This romance would take 1 year development for any of this
To happen in the real world -_-"
- KyokoRM

And that's just true, almost all the problems with this manga comes from that core (and Risa's lack of personality).

I'm just going to say that in my opinion this manga is not worth your time, the only good thing about this is the art, is actually decent but not particularly beautiful. I would recommend this for a light read, but do not expect a deep story and character development, because this doesn't have any.

Art: 7 (It's okay, not unique nor particularly beautiful, but is not bad, I will repeat it, it is not bad)
Plot: 0 (Plot?)
Enjoyment: 2 (I was just waiting for something to actually happen)
Panel distribution: 7 (they have good placement, so it's easy to follow)
Dialogue: 3 (Dialogue? Barely)

Total Rating: 3.8/10

Goodbye people & have a nice day

P.S. Sorry if I had bad grammar, I wrote this really fast & english is my third language.

I saw this manga a long time ago I've been putting it off since its not completed yet but fuckk ?? 3 chapters every year seriously???

Felt that the romance was kind of rushed?? Like they barely met and the guy gave her a ring.... kinda unrealistic. Also Risa's gullible, innocent personality gor boring reaaal quick.

Chapter 27 and up are not in english!!!! So i cant read it

Honestly, their relationship went from 0 to 100 real quick, it was kinda stupid, but the story's cute!!

Dropped @ ch.7.
The relationship progressed waaaay too fast. 5 chapters in and they're already professing love and he gives her a key to his house. They have literally known each other for a few days, less than a week. This relationship feel way too fake, especially since MC seems to have low self esteem and thinks she's not good enough for ML. Now author has introduced a sloppy and insulting love triangle since they have basically skipped the developmental parts of the relationship, so there is nothing else to write about. What else can she write about,,..? Yes! A love triangle! *gag* THis story is underdeveloped in terms of character and plot, although if the smut was good that can excuse it, but the smut is vanilla. Maybe that was what the title was referring too. The plot and smut are bland af.

The first part of the story is quite rush. I mean like ml suddenly fall in love with fl in the middle of a cafe ??? But the rest of the story is very good. A little bit annoyying with fl cuz ahe is weak and kind of dumb but it's not too much

makes me want to kill myself over how fucking bad it is

Plot goes waaay to fast for me, I couldnt really get past the first few chapters and theres already talk of marriage yet they know nothing about eachother. Like theyre cute but I like a build up and at least some sort of chemistry. I can see why people like it, but for me it doesnt pull me in or keep my attention long.

TRANSLATOR COME BACK PLS

The protag is paper thin. The first chapter kinda explains her shyness and sets her up to have ~layers~ but never advances from there. I can't imagine these two having a proper conversation or anything in common really. And she's so shy and never grows up - actually at this stage I don't even think it's fair to call her personality shy I think she's just an absolute idiot with no character at all, like white noise. Such a shame really bc the man is so dreamy.

Maybe I'm just dead inside but this is sickening sweet so much so that I just threw up sunshine and happiness.

Well, this confused me. (may contain spoilers)
-------->
I mean she was all shy and uptight with guys from uni and other boys she knew and then BAM! except weird invitation from a total stranger (even though he is hot) and even end up in his bed the same day! Then that hot 30-smthng man who picked up a pretty young girl and almost attacked her while she was drunk but stopped when she confessed that she is a virgin, I mean, and if she was not, then he would jump her?
I'm not hypocrite or anything, but that is quite strange beginning for pure first love =)) And okay, I can tolerate strange behaviour of 20 years awkward girl, but that hot and totally love stuck salary man... and on the second day of their acquaintance they went to the villa to make out and talk about their deep love. Love?! Seriously? Ah, I`m sorry for all the emotions its just been a while since I've read something so sugary sweet.
Though I love art )
