Description
In contemporary Japan, high school sweethearts Shikimori and Izumi are already dating. Izumi is kind but spectacularly unlucky, and his affectionate girlfriend often has to rescue him from everyday mishaps. Her quick reflexes and strikingly cool expressions can turn an ordinary outing into his latest reason to admire her.
The manga begins with short, playful vignettes and gradually expands into longer stories about dates, school events, and a close group of friends. It favors everyday affection and mutual support, with occasional jealousy, insecurity, and thoughts about the future. The mood is mostly gentle and cheerful, with both leads showing strengths beyond their initial roles as protector and accident magnet.

- Striking illustrations make Shikimori’s cool side especially memorable.
- The supportive friend group adds warmth beyond the main romance.
Cons
- The repeated rescue gag in early chapters can wear thin.
- Romantic milestones can feel slow despite the couple already being together.
