emotional lighthearted fast-paced

I received an arc from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. 

I treasured this sweet romance! It follows a girl, Maaya, who is harshly rejected and humiliated online after her first love confession, who strikes a strange deal with the most popular guy in her grade, Chigira, in order to get over it. After hearing her muttering to herself, he convinces her to pretend she has an obsessive one-sided crush on him, and from this develops a silly friendship that might grow into something more. 

I loved the sketchy art style of this manga, which gave it a dreamy quality overall, perfect for a shoujo! The start was a bit slow, but I loved seeing both of the characters get drawn closer together by their bargain! I'm a sucker for earnest, devoted popular guy and easily flustered, shy girl romances, and this had even more of my favorite tropes tucked into it! Shoujo readers are sure to love this one.
