(I kindly received an ARC from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.)
This was a sweet start to a new romance series, where a girl must convince three rebellious classmates to come back to school or risk losing her scholarship. I love a good "bond or else" trope, and I was happy to see that the boys came through for her instead of blowing her efforts off for the whole volume. The art style was very cute, and I loved to watch the growing bond between Rei and the main girl. At first, I was worried I'd have to note that I wanted more screentime from Yuki, since he didn't seem to have as deep as a personality as Rei and Chihiro. When you learn why, my eyebrows picked up! I'm looking forward to the next one.
