Seven Days: Monday–Sunday by Rihito Takarai and Venio Tachibana

 

The rules were clear: they could date for a week. But someone forgot to tell love!

On a whim, high school third-year Yuzuru Shino asks out first-year Toji Seryo, who is notorious for being a weeklong lover—he’ll date the first girl to ask him out Monday morning and then promptly dump her by the following Monday! The boys start dating, and by Tuesday, the first inklings of attraction hit. Can these two put words to their feelings before Monday comes, or are old habits too hard to break?

My Rate: 9 (amzn.to/3VM39Xn) N.B. The movie adaptation is very good, the actor playing Yuzuru Shino maybe is a little less angel like than the manga, the actor is more masculine, but aside that very good adaptation.
