Question: How do you stop a charging tsundere? Answer: You shout, "You're super cute and I like you just the way you are!" And then you kiss them. Two Japanese students, Endo and Kobayashi, have decided that the villainess of an otome game is just a big, misunderstood tsundere, and are going to have fun doing 'sports-like play-by-play commentary' to a Let's Play of said game. To their surprise and confusion, the prince of the game can hear them. Armed with foreknowledge of the game's mechanics, Endo and Kobayashi teach the prince the art of managing a Tsundere, and together they plot to see if there's a wayto achieve a happy end for all the characters involved.

E&K is mostly a cute romance, with lots of fluffy scenes between the Prince and Villainess, but also some nice parts between the Heroine and another guy, and Endo and Kobayashi themselves. It's also where I derived the most amusement and entertainment from this story; watching Liselotte being forced into a flustered sputter never stops being enjoyable, as does the prince's reactions to a world and tropes that he doesn't understand.

As the story goes on, it evolves from being more than just comedy fluff to also a wonderful healing drama of characters, both 'real' and fictional, learning to accept love into their lives and be with others in a healthy way.

If you get a kick out of romance stories, give this one a shot!
