I love a naive and kind protagonist who just wants everyone to be happy. It's especially funny when they interact with real-world conflicts, thinking a simple meal and conversation can fix everything. I laughed out loud when Himari was making her plans, knowing it was going to blow up. Comedic gold.

Only part I didn't like is Himari possibly being set up as a prize. Like she's not an object to be won or discarded. Very iritating.
I did love the surprise at the end with the introduction of a new character from Shiho's past.


Speaking of Shiho, what a sore loser. It's not normal to need to be the best at everything and tie your self perception to being the best. Winning and losing are all part of life, and just because you're winning one day doesn't guarantee you will be the next.

Also, it must be exhausting to be in competition with everyone you meet. Could never be me, and honestly, if it's you, this is your wake-up call to touch some grass or look into therapy.
funny mysterious relaxing fast-paced

3.5 stars. I'm starting to get pretty bored by all this overdramatic rivalry. I also wish it was easier to tell the different characters apart... they all look so similar. I'll give it another volume and see how I feel.
