Description
“Get out.” It was spring break’s last day, and he was only a freshman. Still young, his stepmother had announced his eviction. Akito Iwaki was kicked out without a word of caution, and began scraping a living by himself. However, scraping by was hard. He had to earn money for his tuition, his living expenses, and even rent. The bills led him to work at construction sites up until the dead of night. His unhealthy, albeit necessary lifestyle encumbered him with severe sleep deprivation, which resulted in two sunken dark holes beneath his eyes. These blemishes caused Yuto Matsuyama, the school chairman’s son, to label him with the nickname “Disgusting Panda.” Not long after, he was prey to bullying. Worn and sick of these cruel days, he contemplated dropping out. However, as he lay at the bottom of the barrel, his former stepsister and school Madonna, Saki Mizumoto, came to visit his shoddy apartment. She then pressed Akito to date her in exchange of his father’s bank book. Despite the advances, he said he couldn’t possibly see Saki as a member of the opposite s*x, given all the time they’d spent together. Brushing his worries aside, she would pursue and make him aware of her charms no matter what. In the end, he was forced to agree to a relationship. This is a story about a faltering boy, powerless before a girl’s advances. His health would improve day by day, and one eventually, he’ll serve them all right.

My Thoughts on After Being Thrown Out by My Stepmother, My Former Sister Pounced on Me
I dove into "After Being Thrown Out by My Stepmother, My Former Sister Pounced on Me" with a healthy dose of curiosity, given its intriguing title and mix of genres. It promises drama, romance, and a dash of school life, but my experience was a bit of a mixed bag.
First Impressions
The initial premise is definitely eye-catching. Our protagonist gets the boot from his stepmother and finds himself unexpectedly pursued by his former sister. It's a setup ripe for conflict and romance, and I was eager to see how the author would navigate these potentially complex relationships.
What Works Well
I can see the appeal in the dynamic between the main character (MC) and the female lead (FL). The idea of a downtrodden underdog finding himself showered with affection from a determined love interest is a classic trope that, when executed well, can be incredibly satisfying. Some readers have really enjoyed the interactions between the two, finding them genuinely enjoyable. The author also seems to be focusing on a small cast of characters, which, in theory, allows for more in-depth development.
Areas of Concern
However, I have to admit that the execution left me wanting more. The believability of the plot is questionable. The MC's situation – juggling multiple jobs while attending school and supposedly being a genius – felt stretched thin. The bullying aspect was also hard to swallow.

Final Verdict
"After Being Thrown Out by My Stepmother, My Former Sister Pounced on Me" has potential, particularly for readers who enjoy a devoted love interest dynamic. However, the story's reliance on somewhat unbelievable scenarios and underdeveloped supporting characters ultimately holds it back. While some may find enjoyment in the central relationship, I personally struggled to fully invest in a world that felt inconsistent and characters that often acted against their own best interests. It's a story that might appeal to some, but it ultimately didn't resonate with me.
