After this review I know I'll pass as a cold-hearted human being,
I feel it!
I feel it!
Shiroki Risa is a quiet college student, incredibly shy around men who keep on complimenting and asking her out, but she refuses every time.
One day, Risa is at her favorite cafè, Coffee & Vanilla, when a boy hits on her, insisting even if she keeps on saying declining. Feeling overwhelmed, Risa tries to leave and is saved by a well dressed and spoken man, Fukami Hiroto.
After helping her, he askes her out and Risa accepts, feeling strangely drawn to this smart and mysterious young man. The spark between them is undeniable and so they start to date.
The very next day Risa admits she now has a boyfriend and immediately a classmate confesses his love for her. Also, Fukami's no.1 competitor in business, Akutsu Takaaki, decides he wants to steal Risa from him.
As soon as the two met, Risa got (in chronological order):
- heavily harassed by Akutsu
- followed by a stalker who also blocked her in the changing room of her part-time job
- drag my Fukami's mother in a host bar (well, this was hilarious!)
- deceived and kidnapped by Fukami's hater and business rivals
Even so, Risa and Fukami's feelings for each other are stronger and helped them dealing and overcoming all these obstacles, while also taking their relationship to the next step.

My Opinion👍👎
This series is weird...not only for western standards but Japanese as well!
Fukami is possessive beyond any logical comprehension while Risa is the textbook stereotype of the innocent and naive girl to whom everything goes well.
Frankly, I found offensive how submissive and forgetful she is, thank God Fukami truly and deeply loves and cares about her.
Risa is the self-proclaimed cause of any of Fukami's problems when it's just his position that inevitably procured him some enemies.
Risa is the self-proclaimed cause of any of Fukami's problems when it's just his position that inevitably procured him some enemies.
Everything is so absurd it looses any resemble of reality and, with that, the viewer doesn't get any feeling of danger or worry for Risa because it's painfully obvious Fukami is going to pop out to save her at some point.
Plus, Fukami's way of talking and behaving is so ambiguous that nearly everything he says and does feel creepy as hell!
Everything is rushed and I was shocked about how explicit it is, I'm used to k-drama where the ultimate success after 10 episodes is holding hands, here SPOILER they have sex on episode 2...
I still gave it the score below because of the very last episode, where I experienced other emotions rather than the usual 'You have to be kidding, right?!'.
It's not a complete waste, some scenes are genuinely funny and it's perfect for practicing Japanese but other than these I honestly can't save the series.
