The Japanese hit manga rom-com comes to print The sweet smiles across the faces of the "perfect" student council duo hide secret, tough-as-nails personalities. These two-faced angels vie for dominance while keeping up their flawless act...but how long will it take for contention to give way to attraction? This modern spin for fans of classics like Kare Kano: His and Her Circumstances and Kaguya-sama: Love Is War is already a best-seller in Japan All sugar, no spice, and everything nice...that's the impression the beautiful first-year high schooler and class president Otogi gives to those around her. One look from the school's "heartthrob angel" is all it takes to sweep countless admirers off their feet. But the real Otogi Katsura is no angel: She's calculating, ruthless, and sharp-tongued. When Otogi slips up and exposes her inner baddie in front of the class's other paragon, Toki, he counters by revealing an unexpected side of his own and declaring her his "partner in crime." With cupid's arrow at her back, can the "heartthrob angel" maintain her perfect act and regain the upper hand, or will she be the one swept off her feet by a fellow false angel?
The class president, Otogi, and her class vice president, Toki, are the definition of perfect, grace, and kindness. Both of them are practically angels. Or so the whole school thought. But in truth, they're crass and ready to fight. But once Otogi showed her other side and Toki showed his. Otogi can't help to actually like both versions of Toki... and that is just unacceptable!
.
This premise is so cute! I like how both characters are the same in the most unexpected ways. And this manga will definitely make your heart swoon! The manga illustrates Otogi's feelings very well, because as a reader it's like you're liking Toki along with her. Which is so cute and that's what you want. However, though they used a lot of different fonts to convey their sarcasm, or even just to try to show their "other" side, it doesn't translate very well to me personally. I had to read a few panels again just to imagine their voice as their" other" side.
Overall, this was a fun manga to read! I really enjoyed how they really come together as a team. It's just volume one and you want to root for them already. looking forward to meeting new characters.
