Mixed Feelings

To be honest, I really wish I could rate this manga volume by volume and not as a whole because I really enjoyed the first half. I initially had fun reading Risouteki Boyfriend. The art style is palatable enough and the story laced with perfect comedic timing is a delight to read. The characters were kind of stereotypical but they're fine, it wasn't like I was looking for something deep. But then the story dragged, and dragged, and dragged. The truth is, this could've been great with 1-3 volumes but then the author keeps adding new characters and subplots I went from slightly irked todownright disappointed (and fully annoyed). I initially thought of rating this one 8 stars as I was first reading but then I started docking points as the plot dragged on so it ended with an average (which is kind of fair since the story nor characters isn't particularly unique anyway). All in all, this did NOT need 29 chapters.

Synopsis

Upon entering high school, first-year student Yusa Tachikawa fell in love with a tall, athletic senior on her school's basketball team. Watching the basketball team practice every day with her best friend, Nanami Sugio, Yusa eagerly looks for chances to talk to him. One day, Kaede Haruta, a quiet guy from Yusa's class, takes shelter from the rain in Yusa's part-time workplace. Looking to keep him entertained in the meantime, she recommends he read her favorite shoujo manga. The following day, while Yusa is talking to the guy she likes, she realizes that Nanami harbors feelings for him too! Worried that Nanami will restrain her feelings for Yusa's sake, she claims that she loves Haruta instead. With determination to maintain their cover, Yusa asks Haruta to pretend as her boyfriend, and even though he is far from her ideal type, she begins to question what she really thinks of Haruta.

When it comes to love, we always wonder if someone that someday will become our boyfriend/girlfriend is suit our type. but as things continue, we realize that love isn't always created because the person we love is our type at all. this manga tells how a relationship can exist despite the person we love isn't our ideal type, and soon realize that love is something more complex than just suiting our type. Story The plot itself is really simple, about a young girl who loves her senpai from basketball club and then she realizes that her best friend also falls in love with him. to protect theircurrent relationship, she decided to give up and let her best friend date her beloved senpai, therefore she asks her classmate Kaede pretend to be her boyfriend and soon she realized that she has fallen in love with Kaede, a guy that isn't her ideal type at all. I love the story, it is a heartwarming story with less drama that will make you smile every time you slide the pages. Art The art is excellent that will make you even more comfortable when reading this manga. Character This is the aspect I like the most. the character isn't cliche and the pairings are unique. the FL is cute and isn't dumb and the ML is calm yet sweet to her. side characters are interesting and none of them I can hate. they are very likable. Enjoyment I'm happy to find this manga and read it. it's enjoyable and wholesome that can make your day even happier. Overall, I do love this manga. if you're looking for a manga with non-cliche plots and characters. a heartwarming and wholesome story without unnecessary drama. then, this manga is for you.
