You And I Are Polar Opposites Volumes 2-7 Manga Review

Dec 12, 12:00 manga

The story does a lot with setting up expectations, flipping them on their heads, but then making the reason for why they were flipped on its head different than what you would originally expect. ― One thing that caught me off guard about You and I are Polar Opposites was just how quickly our main couple got together.
