3.5 STARS - I LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

This was so cute and wholesome! I love the height difference and how Isumi's tiny body can't contain all of his anger lol. He's such an easily embarrassed tsundere while Amasawa's so chill and honest. Their interactions were so cute together!

Summary from Renta!:

Princess Alicia doesn't want to be married off in an arranged marriage, so she agrees to an impossible wager with her mother: Enter an all-boys school as a "boy" and find real love among a number of approved candidates. What she doesn't plan on is falling in love with handsome Lucius, a non-approved guy who figures out her secret! Oh, and she realizes she's a reincarnation of a romance-novel-loving girl who is living in one of her favorite stories! Find out what happens next in this comical love fantasy!

3 STARS - I LIKED IT ENOUGH

MY REVIEW: 

You need to suspend your disbelief right from the start, but nothing about this was logical to begin with lol. 

For one thing, Alicia found out that she transmigrated into a BL otome game that she played in her previous life, so she eventually gave up trying to find a fiancé at school because she expected to see happy fun times between the main male leads in the game. That was actually totally understandable though! I too would love to spend my school days as a bystander watching all of the clichés unfold around me lmao. 

But things turned out differently after she gave up chasing the guys, and it became even more cliché with the jealous real male lead. His secret was also totally obvious to everyone but her. 

Also wasn't expecting smut in here, but there wasn't a lot. I honestly thought the wedding night would be smuttier compared to all of the leadup lol. 

Anyway, at only 9 chapters, don't expect great plot or characterization, but at least the art was nice.
