Tonari wa Nani wo Kuu Hito zo

I read this out of curiosity and it did not disappoint! If you want to avoid all the typical romance/shoujo cliches, this one is a great story to pass time with! Also, if you like FOOD FOOD FOOD...well you're in for a ride cause every ep was pretty much MOUTH-DROOLING. Also, if you like seeing time flow in the manga, this is a good one for that! They're not stuck in the typical high school forever scenario. Story: It's only pretty nicely paced and nothing over-the-top to frustrate readers. It's very relaxing, at least for me. I personally think it's very cute how this storyshows two neighbors who come together over time and are connected by food. I also feel this kind of scenario is realistic because people are becoming anti-social these days. The side characters are also the best! No rivals, frustrating romance, or annoying characters. Characters: The characters grew on me over time. The main characters are definitely not annoying and have fun personalities. It can get sort of repetitive with the main girl characters dialogue, but everyone has their own trauma right? The ML is a blunt honest guy with amazing cooking skills while the FL is ditzy & academically smart, but not survival smart. The side characters are also fun to see as they support the main ones. Art: I really love the art style from this mangaka, especially the expressions she creates. Overall: I was pretty surprised to see how much I liked this story. The ending is cute too & it has it's own sequel if you want to see the adult side of things :3. I personally would reread this again just because of how the elements of this manga are. You can't go wrong with this one.

Tonari Wa Nani O Kuu Hito Zo Manga Review By: Fujitsuka Yuki Plot: "The best way to a man's heart is through his stomach" and so they say. It's also applicable vise versa, right? Wanting to change her life and enjoy the school life, Suzuna, who grew up in a countryside, decided to study in Tokyo. Yes, she has the brain and the looks (after treating herself a make over), but being independent is another thing. With a life she's stranger to, he came to know her neighbor, Seto, whom she can depend on. What I love on this manga is even if it is slow pace, itperfectly creates the connection or bond the characters need to have so that their relationship grow stronger. The step by step communication and closeness the protagonists show is just too irresistible. The feelings from none to love with each other is just too natural, it makes the story realistic (If its just a human acting on it, I mean). Characters: I really love the development of both the MC on this manga. They change for the better, and what's great is that they both have each other while in the process. It's rare to see character like Seto, who is a husband material. Not just some random guy who can protect you with other guys, but also can take care of you when in home. He is taking care of Suzuna like a mother, but he also does things a man would do. I want a husband like him. Kidding! Art: The art is simple but cool. The proportion of the body is what I like. It really differentiates the body of a man and a woman. It's just too beautiful for me to see. The character's faces are normal, but their characteristics and attitudes are what makes them look unique. Their reactions to something, feeling shy or happy, it really show on the way they express it on their face. Enjoyment: I like the story of this manga. Pure, light, sweet, and most of all, completed. It only takes me one lying in the bed to finish it. It makes me want to read more. There are scenarios that burst me into laughter but what made me keep going is the desire of me to see the progress of their relationship. How the two of them will end up with each other. Ending: I just want to have a love triangle, but there's none and I think that's okay. The ending is cute and simple. No ceremonies needed, no babies, no wedding dress. Just two of them happy living, just them making the most of their life.
