Misfortune follows Izumi around like a puppy. You would think that things started to look up for him when he got a girlfriend, but he still ran into all sorts of trouble.
However, his girlfriend was a special sort, quite different from him in every way. Apart from being incredibly cute, she is athletic and immensely caring about others, especially Izumi. With Izumi’s haplessness, getting Shikimori as a girlfriend is a stroke of luck.
But, Shikimori is not just a cute girlfriend. When the time calls for it, she also has the habit of turning unbelievably cool. She has the strength to counter all of Izumi’s bad luck and even saves him from dangerous mishaps. This makes Izumi fall for her even harder, as with the roles reversed, Shikimori is always around to protect him.
With the help of Shikimori’s athleticism and quick reflexes, Izumi is rescued from the effects of his bad luck and might even be turning lucky after so many years, all thanks to his girlfriend. This unique romantic comedy is written and illustrated by Keigo Maki.

Miss Shikimori Isn’t Just A Cutie Chapter 165 Recap
This chapter starts with Izumi finding out that Shikimori joined the same university that he did. Shikimori feels sad and embarrassed and tells him that she only wants to be close to him all the time. With a smile, Izumi suggests that they take a detour so that she can tell him everything and says that he will hear her out.
Shikimori explained that she wanted to catch up to Izumi, Surprised, Izumi reminded her that she had beaten him in the rankings. But Shikimori exclaims that that was a fluke and was not going to be enough. She told him that she had to work harder to catch up to everything Izumi had achieved.
All this was because Shikimori admired Izumi to a great level. She felt despondent and felt that Izumi thought of her as dependent on him and that she hadn’t really changed from how she was with her brother when she was younger. Izumi lovingly took her hand in his and started to tell her how much she meant to him.
He told her that though both of them lacked confidence when they first met, they soon made a bunch of great memories together. He told her that it was because they supported each other that they had gotten so far and that he was able to stand up on his own because of her.
Izumi told her that he had always looked up to Shikimori and gave her a hug. He finished off by saying that he would always be by her side no matter what.
