One day, the goddess of agriculture, Spica, appears to her and sends Mito back through time so she can find her kind of guy. Will Mito really meet her soulmate in the prehistoric era? Only time will tell...

TL;DR: Primitive Boyfriend was... weirdly good. Should you read it? Depends how you feel about monkeys.

So all the pretty boys around her seem real weak in comparison so she has zero interest. A fun difference form the usual reverse harem series with the lead having possible romantic paths with all the boys. She wants to find someone who will make her heart pound and boy does she find that. Of course there are silly reactions but there's a believable connection between Mita and the primitive man she runs into and that's ...
