This is a real cutie-patootie book. It’s lighthearted and sweet, and there are a few refreshing plot twists. The artwork is just as cute and colorful.

The initial connection Bear and Brielle have is nice. Their bonding happens very fast.

Also, the antagonistic playboy character isn’t flat

I'm betting he either (in his eyes, "harmlessly") bullied her or dated brielle in the past

. Like, obviously, he has his issues, a wandering eye for one and boundary issues, but you can see he cares about his academics, his community, and his friends too. 

A negative is that the speech bubbles sometimes turn completely red. It throws off the rhythm of reading, and I think there was a better way to show anger. There's a fairytale motif, but it doesn't feel ver prominent. Like, they could've just been at a regular school since fairytales and magical relaism don't play a part here as of now. That may change in later volumes

Overall, I figured this was a webcomic adapted because of the pacing, and I was right. I appreciate the slice of life tone, and it reminded me of the shoujo manga I enjoy. The lack of an overarching plot may disengage some readers, but it wasn’t an issue for me. I’d read volume two.
