To her surprise, she’s not sure how to handle this new relationship, especially when her newfound friend is a prince himself (and a guy prince, at that).

She balks but can't resist and eventually the two nap together, with her commenting on how nice it feels, likening him to a giant cat. Therefore, the title can be understood as a statement on love, particularly a beautifully subtle love, which suits the slow burn of the relationship that happens between the two leads. Bifauxnen: Yoi's slim body, shortly cropped hair, and lower voice gives her a somewhat androgynous appearance, which has led to most people who just quickly meet her confusing her for a very beautiful young man. While it suits her extraordinarily well, it likely contributes to the Lady Looks Like a Dude incidents she runs into and further characterizes her as being less traditionally feminine than her peers. Crash-Into Hello: Yoi and Ichimura first meet when he falls on top of her after jumping out of a classroom window.Prince" meets prince in this offbeat high school romance, where two picture-perfect teens must see past appearances to understand what being in love really means. Doraemon gets referenced in chapter 19 when Ichimura's friends rib him for taking so long in the shower, like Shizuka. That said, she's too afraid of a Femininity Failure to even try changing things on her own and is resigned to her fate at the start of the story.

Though the trial period is over, Yoi and Ichimura-sempai realize that navigating their new relationship will be no easy task.Lascivious Beauty Mark: Big Man on Campus Ichimura has a beauty mark near his mouth and is a known ladykiller in school; he hooks up with girls freely and doesn't stay tied down for long. This is a perfect manga for people who don't like when the female character is too girly/looks like she has an impossibly high pitched voice. That is, until she bumps into Ichimura-sempai, the school’s other prince (who’s a he) and gets a taste of what it feels like to be seen for her true self. Yoi explains that she never wanted to be a prince or a hero, it's just a role that others have projected onto her. Strong Family Resemblance: Yoi favors her father quite a bit, who also has short dark hair and handsome features.
