The trial dating premise might not be my first priority, but... It's Gyaru x Honor student. I can't pass that.

I'm more interested in why the honor student propositioned the asexual idiot than anything

It may have something to do with the short-haired blonde private tutor she had once had but not anymore.

Looking at the previous works of the author, it’s gonna be drama and drama with the private tutor

Sumie is secretly in love with Manatsu, right?

That was a solid first chapter. I'm a sucker for several of these tropes like "Gyaru x honor student", "pretend lovers", and especially "self-discovery".
I like Sumie's directness. Girl seems to know what she wants and goes for it.

I'm guessing Manatsu may resemble the private tutor Sumie had and was almost certainly in love with.

According to manga, just about half the Japanese lesbians have their sexual awakening with their private tutor (usually teaching piano).

Ah, so that's why lesbians usually have short finger nails. For playing piano!

The flash forward teaser is wild because I wonder what will lead these two to go horizontal in less than a week. It would not be a puzzle if at least one of them was intensely forward or had experience, but they don't have that kind of chemistry. They both seem like inexperienced high school students and not particularly desperate, so this fast track progress to their first time is oddly (though not unrealistically) quick, and feels like something out of a one-shot or a series about legal adults. Maybe they will keep renewing a 7-day contract multiple times, so the flash forward actually takes place more than a week in the future? Or maybe the flash forward is a misdirection and the girls will abort mission at the last minute?

I do like their dynamic though, and the setup feels distinct. The short time limit is oddly unnerving, even though I know they will most likely become a real couple. It's hard to recall high school yuri series that start with this kind of casual dating of mere classmates, without a blunt transactional excuse (money, blackmail). That new Usui Shio high school yuri is similar but still pretty different because the character motivations are more clear there and there is no time limit.

Gyaru x Honor Student is often a sure way to grab my attention, and I'm definitely enjoying this so far. The characters and their dynamic is fun, and I'm loving the art.

Thanks for the translation!

No but seriously, what does "starting with the form" mean?

Somehow missed this one when it was first uploaded, but I'm excited for another Amazaki Suika series! Her recent Cabaret girl one was great, and I'm liking the vibe of this first chapter already too. I'm curious if this is going to be a full series, or just a limited one volume serial like the Cabaret girl one.

I'm guessing it's about function vs form? Often times, if you don't understand the function of a (well designed) thing, you can start by exploring its form, and maybe learn some insights from that.

(I'm not sure dating is well designed enough to learn anything meaningful from it, tho)

Manatsu is such a silly little goober. I'm loving all her cute little faces through the first 2 chapters.

There was another quick flashback of Sumie's old tutor(?) when she hugged Manatsu. She was definitely an old, likely unrequited, crush of Sumie's.
Sumie reminds me a bit of Mizusu from Tomo-chan. The same hairstyle and similar cold attitude.

Yeah, that's the intended meaning, although in this case I think "form and content" is a more appropriate concept (see this for reference). The "form of dating" would be the things you do, i.e. going out, holding hands, giving each other nicknames, et cetera. The "content of dating" is the feelings you have for each other.

Manatsu is great, very funny and surprisingly self-reflective and self-aware for her type of character. Thanks a lot for the translation!
