The free spirited Shinoda-san has found her diamond in the rough so here's hoping she sticks with her newfound happy relationship and settles down.

Turns out the three of them are friends.

Meanwhile all I could think was… mommy!
Very good, obviously. I’m biased because I am a lonely man looking for love. So; a girl that’s so forward she practically forced herself on you is the ultimate fantasy for me I think. That said the whole thing is very believable. I could see this kind of thing happening. (That being the sex part where one partner takes the lead.) Her coaching and prodding was very cute and sexy. And of course her demanding and commandeering nature with regards to his looks and fashion.

Now that I think about it. Maybe this is realistic. I know most of the girls I’ve met would have tried to get me to stop collecting manga and playing video games.

Edit: lapidarist is the noun form of Lapidary. Per below. Thanks bud ðŸ™

Just looking at the cover without looking at the artist name I assume this was another story by Esuke. But when I clicked on at I saw that it was Souseki my eyes must be playing with me! Overall I really enjoyed this story by Souseki! Glad this had a good ending!

Dag Nab It; we really need that "Assertive Girl" tag. And this story's FMC (Shinoda-san) definitely fits the bill.

To the MC (Usui-kun): You Lucky Bastard,
... GRR!

Overall, I say of this work: "APPROVED!" 😘ðŸ·ðŸ‘Œ
