[SPOILERS]Thoughts After Reading “Pink to Habanero”
The expressionless, sadistic boy Sui Kurose (who’s not good with girls)—his gap personality is totally heart-stealing!
At school, he has zero friendliness and gives off this vibe of looking down on everyone with cold eyes! But at his part-time job at the “Knight Café,” he greets you with his brightest smile saying, “My princess♡ Please enjoy your meal♡”
“ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME!?”
I was completely frozen, unable to process this for a while.
As “Mugi” suddenly gets closer to “Kurose”♡ The way they gradually open their hearts to each other, and how they’re slowly becoming attracted to one another… It just makes my heart flutter so much!
Even though he says she’s “the type he’s worst with”!
Even though he insists “I will NEVER fall for Mugi”!
What I love most about this manga is not just the heart-fluttering moments between the two! It’s also how it portrays what it means to be a “friend” for girls, and how “Mugi” develops a strong determination not to simply go along with others during her school life.
There are many admirable aspects that appear here and there throughout the story that we can all learn from!
