But the guy’s actually a softie inside, as well as a flower lover and an avid baker, to boot! When Suzuki gets harassed on the train, a delicate but unexpectedly tough boy swoops in to save the day. This unlikely duo kicks off a friendship that proves that what you see isn’t always what you get!

Suzuki-kun’s Mindful Life, Vol. 2
Contrary to his intimidating appearance, mild-mannered Kaoru Suzuki has a heart of gold and a passion for baking, gardening, and sewing. How could anyone bully such a softie? That’s what Arata Haruna wants to know when he sees Suzuki’s old friend from middle school treat him poorly. Unable to take the injustice on Suzuki’s behalf, Haruna’s off to get to the bottom of things! Meanwhile, Suzuki himself is in a bind—he hopes to join the home economics club, but what’s a guy to do when one of the members runs away as soon as she sees him…?
