Amata knows he should reveal the truth, that he’s the Lolita Aki has been hanging out with, but he doesn’t want to lose this budding friendship.

Since this is a light-hearted slice of life, I doubt the outcome of this confession will be a shock to you if you’re familiar with the genre at all. I do, however, wish to spoil the fact that Mitsu, the local stray cat, is adorable, and I am totally okay with her not only having her dedicated moments but playing a role in Amata and Aki’s friendship, especially now that everything is out in the open. It’s just cute, wholesome, and fun to read. 4 out of 5.

Aki and Kanade’s friendship is growing, unaware that they are coworkers. They run into Roku, an old friend of Aki’s who also leads a bit of a double life as a punk but a clean-cut teacher when he’s “off.” He gets a bit jealous of Aki’s new friend.

Most of this volume is just Aki and Kanade hanging out together, but Kanade is still hiding that not only is he a guy, but that he works with Aki. The secret is gonna have to come out at some point. While Aki can be brusque at work, I hope that doesn’t mean she’ll be cruel to Kanade. It’s nice to see them getting to be good friends and for Aki to loosen up a bit. I just like seeing them chilling. It’s so sweet. 3.9 out of 5.

Sotaro Amata is popular in the office where he works, but in his off hours, he dresses up in Lolita fashion in beautiful lace and ruffles. Akira Hanku is less popular in the office, but in her off hours, she’s a punk girl in leather and spikes. They may butt heads at work, but when they run into each other off hours without recognizing each other, their relationship is entirely different.

This first volume is just setting up the vast differences between our main leads and getting them to meet up. They seem like two people who have been lonely, keeping up this mask at work, but can enjoy each other’s company once those masks are gone. In fact, Akira outright dislikes Sotaro at work but is smitten with him when he’s in the Lolita clothes. I made it a point to link to what I mean here since Lolita has an entirely different context in this case. I do wonder if this will get super dramatic and angsty once Akira finds out who she’s hanging out with, but I really hope it stays light and fun. 4 out of 5.
