Sakurai’s exam nerves meant that she didn’t do as well as she expected and didn’t get into her preferred school. A teacher offers to write her a referral to her dream school if she can get a truant student to start coming to school. 

The artwork fits the vibe perfectly and there is a comic element to the plot which I enjoyed. Overall, it's really cute if you ignore the blackmail/coercive start to the couple's relationship. It really wasn’t needed. 

Honda could still ask for daily favours and they eventually start getting closer and catching feelings. The semi-forced kiss ruined it for me and felt very out of place. 

Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC
