My Amazing Ex-Boyfriend, Gojo-kun

I'm just an ordinary office worker.

In my tenth year of working hard in Tokyo, I finally accepted that I'm mediocre. I just want to leave it all behind and return to my hometown to live out the rest of my life in peace.

As for that dreamy yet elusive love, and my perfect fiance, a man of noble status and striking looks who was never serious and always vanishing, supposedly busy teaching, spreading religion, and fighting monsters?

If something is beyond me, I might as well let it go.

Uh, it seems I don't get to choose.

I had no choice but to enroll at the religious vocational school where my ex-boyfriend teaches. At someone's request, I've really been trying hard to hide our past relationship.

My classmates gossip and ask whether I like tall guys or short guys. I glance at upperclassman Okkotsu and say, "Short guys."

They ask if I like white-haired guys or black-haired guys. I glance at Mr. Geto and say, "Black-haired guys."

They ask if I like big eyes or small eyes... I glance at Ijichi, who's staring over in confusion from nearby, grit my teeth, and am just about to answer... when someone covers my mouth and drags me away.

My ex-boyfriend hauls me into a corner, takes off his blindfold, braces himself on one arm, and leans over me with a sinister smile.

"That's enough."

"Maya is really trying her hardest to provoke me."

The least you could do is be reasonable.

-

"I don't know, and I'm not qualified to define someone as good or evil. I just realized that so many people have rolled back and forth along the knife's edge of fate, bloodied and battered, without sparing a thought for themselves, yet always sighing over one another."

"They're pitiful, lovable, admirable, and heartbreaking."

Gojo is the CP. Slow burn, lighthearted yet bittersweet (?), clichéd melodrama, first-person narration, with a love triangle (one-sided).

Volume One is almost entirely focused on the two leads. Volume Two also centers on the romance, but has a slightly broader ensemble.

The plot serves the romance and contains many narrative traps. No guarantee that all side characters get happy endings.

The outline is complete; this story will not be abandoned.

If you haven't read the original, you may miss how great Gojo is, which could affect your reading experience.

The heroine is weak; this is not a wish-fulfillment story.

*Not a purely sweet story. To reiterate, it contains many narrative traps and may not suit hardcore fans.
