We Must Never Fall in Love! continues to be a likable series as the relationship between stepsiblings continue in volume 3. Our manga review.
We Must Never Fall in Love! Volume 1 Review
For those able to give We Must Never Fall in Love! a try despite its stepsibling storyline, this is one shoujo romance to keep an eye on.
