Quirky story of two loners who find friendship and maybe love with one another. I really enjoyed their budding friendship and I'm sure romance. The title is more suggestive than the book and plot.
This manga continues Wataya's journey to being bad alongside Fuji, with her figuring out her feelings along the way. Her date with Fuji's brother takes an extravagant turn and the two make their mark in their own way. We are introduced to a new character that shakes things up in the relationship of the main two characters. While I don't like love triangles, I think the dynamic can overall push the two leads closer together as the plot progresses and the duo continue their "villainous misdeeds".
This was a great continuation to the first book in the series. It's still very funny, and I'm liking the chemistry between our protagonists. I also like that we're bringing in some more of the side characters like Koichi and Ichika. The only bit I didn't like is that the series seems to be traveling down the trope of "arranged childhood fiancee who is actually in love with the main love interest" and I would have rather seen that trope played with in a more interesting manner. I'm very intrigued by the relationship between Koichi and Fuji and definitely looking forward to the next volume.
Mamori and Fuji's friendship grows as they plot to upset the status quo by messing with Fuji's perfect brother at a high society party. When Fuji's finance arrives, everything goes tumbling as she is jealous of their perceived relationship. A photoshoot gone wrong adds an extra level of hilarity.
Mamori and Fuji's relationship is so cute to watch - Mamori is so committed to her apprenticeship as a troublemaker that she doesn't even register Fuji's emotions. I can't wait to find out where this goes.
4/5
This volume has Mamori going on multiple dates! 2 dates in fact, one with each of the Fuji brothers. What feelings will develop, and for who? Is Mamori really cut out to be a villain?
The story is developing nicely and with good pacing. I love how ridiculous the situations can get, but still trying to keep the narrative realistic. I’m interested to see the development of the brother. Hopefully we get more background in the next coming volumes.
I definitely want to continue the story. It has a good balance of character development, romance, and comedy.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy in exchange for review!
We are back at it with more characters, more misunderstandings, and more confused feelings with the second volume of "I Wanna Do Bad Things with You."
Mamori is stuck going on a date with the Soshi heir, and all around tool- Koichi, Fuji's younger brother who's healthy, handsome, and knows it too. Fuji is set on upending Koichi by convincing Mamori, who's already way outside her comfort zone, to make the date amazing and then dump his brother. However, Koichi was onto his older brother's schemes and ends up changing the date plan by taking Mamori to their family's anniversary ball- one Fuji wasn't invited to! With all the drama, Mamori ends up blowing up with anger, and quickly all eyes are on her. As she turns to leave, Fuji finds her and soon another player comes into the frame- Fuji's childhood friend AND fiancé! It seems that Mamori has a lot to think about, but as she tries and put distance between herself and Fuji, he just can't seem to let her go...
This was a quick volume to read, and I ended up blowing right through the whole installment. I find myself quickly tiring of the miscommunication parts since the characters are supposed to be in high school and not middle school, but overall it was a solid read. 3/5 stars.
