Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice but to Kiss! Vol. 1 by Gamoko Tsuyu
4.0
Kota Fukuhara, age 20, is extremely unlucky. Like, ceilings literally fall on his head, unlucky. He just happens to be rescued one day by the college hottie, Shinomaya, who happens to be extremely lucky. Kota figures that if he can just get Shinomaya to stick around long enough, maybe his good lucky will counteract Kota's rotten - often dangerous - bad luck. Only, Shinomaya misunderstands and...they start dating!
The dating twist definitely took me back to [book:My Love Mix-Up!, Vol. 1|57147089] but I love that this one ended up far more honest, much quicker and that left Shinomaya and Kota more time to explore who each other really were, beyond the misconceptions.
I love that we got to see all the frankly surreal stuff that happened to Kota and how the accidental confession came about completely organically and not at all through deliberate manipulation. I loved his inner turmoil, as he started to have feelings for Shinomaya, and even before when he just felt bad about using a friend for nefarious purposes.
Naoya Shinomaya was adorable! He's like a loyal puppy at times, but then he's a bit of a pushy, protective guard dog at others. I loved that their luck often counteracted each other, so that although Kota's bad luck mojo faded when they were together, it never entirely disappeared and Naoya's good luck was only minimally affected.
