Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie Vol. 17

Shikimori seems like the perfect girlfriend: cute, fun to be around, sweet when she wants to be… but she has a cool dark side that comes out under the right circumstances. And her boyfriend Izumi loves to be around when that happens! A fun and funny high school romance with a sassy twist perfect for fans of Nagatoro-san and Komi Can’t Communicate!

Nekosaki-san and Kamiya-san are hard at work practicing for the last volleyball tournament of the year while Shikimori-san and all their friends cheer them on—but why does Izumi-kun look so down in the dumps?!

Series Overview: Shikimori and Izumi are high school sweethearts. They hold hands walking home from school, they flirt in the halls, they tease each other. But Shikimori knows what she wants, and how to get it, and she can turn from cutie to cool in an instant.
