I received this manga from Yen Press on Edelweiss in exchange of an honest review.

I love a gap story. This guy? Looks wild. Looks dark. Looks dangerous. Says things that aren’t that nice. But what happens when our MC grabs his wrist and magic happens? He: “Stubborn hag.” His inside voice: “You’re so cute. Damn it.” Her all confused. He: What’re you spacing out for?” His inside voice: “Crap, that dumb look on your face is so adorable too.” He: I’ll kill you.” His inside voice: “I love you, Aria.” And from that moment I knew I would love this one. I was invested. I needed to know if he knew if his inside voice was heard and if he would be able to confess in real as well.

Our MC? She can read minds (and not just see words but also gets to see images). She is not too happy about that, which I can understand. Thankfully there is a caveat, she needs to touch people or they touch her. But imagine having to be careful to not touch someone. Still, hey girl, on the upside you now know that the deredere boy in your class is actually protecting you and likes you. I loved how at first she was startled by his thoughts and getting flustered but as his thoughts got to marriage (in gorgeous imagery) and even more protective she turned super shy and had no clue how to react to him which made me giggle as it was so cute. She just tried to dodge him, but the universe kept pushing them together. There is no escape! Just accept his hotness! His deredereness!

I also love that Aria is a prefect and I loved seeing her at school trying her hardest to make sure everyone learns in her class and tries to help wherever possible, from special programs to special places. Everyone sees Jade as a problem child (and to be fair with his mouth and attitude you can understand that) especially because his magic is dark. Yep, you heard that one right. It is your typical fantasy world in which dark magic is seen as bad. In the mean time Jade is just a good guy. Just pissed at the world, for good reason. I love that Aria was helping Jade extra so that his classmates would see him in the same light as she does. And I loved seeing the change happen in his classmates. Yay!

While Professor Sven was THAT, I am also sorry, but he was so hot. And totally my type. blushes

I love seeing Jade’s thoughts and how much he wants to be with Aria, he really is a sweetheart at heart and boy boy I need all these dreams and fantasies to be reality. Make it happen. Chop chop!

The art was so much fun, I love the character designs (Jade is hot and Aria is just the cutest) and I love the faces and expressions on everyone’s faces, especially Aria’s when she is reading Jade’s mind. So cute! So funny!

Oh, and then last bit of the manga is an one-shot about a saint and Satan. He wants to eat her but she lives in a trash pile and eats bad food. He is dedicated to eating her though so I had a laugh at how he started taking care of her. From massages to cleaning to feeding her to yes yoga (which I want more of). I also love finding out more about the Saint, though I hadn’t expected that one. She is a clever one! I loved how the story went and I loved the ending, though haha Satan is a bit of an idiot.

OH OH and we get some character profiles at the end! I always LOVE LOVE LOVE character profiles so thank you to the mangaka for adding those!

This was just a hoot to read and I had oodles of fun. I love the dark/blackness and then infused with cute in the inside. I am shipping these two like mad! I would highly recommend it to all!
