The Japanese hit manga rom-com comes to print! The sweet smiles across the faces of the "perfect" student council duo hide secret, tough-as-nails personalities. These two-faced angels vie for dominance while keeping up their flawless act...but how long will it take for contention to give way to attraction? This modern spin for fans of classics like Kare Kano: His and Her Circumstances and Kaguya-sama: Love Is War is already a best-seller in Japan! All sugar, no spice, and everything nice...that's the impression the beautiful first-year high schooler and class president Otogi gives to those around her. One look from the school's "heartthrob angel" is all it takes to sweep countless admirers off their feet. But the real Otogi Katsura is no angel: She's calculating, ruthless, and sharp-tongued. When Otogi slips up and exposes her inner baddie in front of the class's other paragon, Toki, he counters by revealing an unexpected side of his own and declaring her his "partner in crime." With cupid's arrow at her back, can the "heartthrob angel" maintain her perfect act and regain the upper hand, or will she be the one swept off her feet by a fellow false angel?!

Genre/Topics: manga, high school, shōjo, lighthearted romance, public façade
Emotions: that sickly sweet butterflies in your stomach first crush feeling that weighs down on you every time you look at that special person
Beautiful art, interesting and amusing characters, and a unique but decidedly shōjo concept. It's a light romance between two "perfect" high school students whose personalities in private differ greatly from the way they present themselves day-to-day, what more can a girl wish for?
The way the writing juxtaposes the main characters' public façade against their private personalities is amazing. The dialogue perfectly shifts between these two realities, really illustrating how these two characters are constantly switching between these personas themselves.
This was a quick, easy read and I'd recommend it for anyone who enjoys a simple, no mess romance (especially for newbies to the manga/shōjo world!). Definitely looking forward to the next (and future) volumes. Fingers crossed for a bit more interpersonal drama, conflict, and angst.
