Hitomi-chan is Shy With Strangers

It just kept going, man. The story is about the normal guy, suddenly finding himself interacting with a tomboy, shark teethed girl who's strong as hell. Shenanigans ensue. I'm glad all the “Normal guy, girl with a surprise element” manga that I started reading years ago have been finishing up. One of two things usually happen. The story grabs its little premise, and throws it away when it finally ran its small course. The story continues to evolve, and explore the characters as people who change with time, and it becomes a good, proper story. The second one, is staying true to the premise farinto the future, where it will become stale, where it won't achieve anything, and it will end in nothingness. Another manga, destined to become part of the void. You see where I'm going with this. The manga just didn't want to end. It's the kind of story which has an end-goal, in which it was already operating in shallow waters. The main characters were interesting for a bit, but, that didn't last long. There's not much that happens in the story, and not even in the Slice of Life genre kind of nothing, I mean actually nothing. I can't remember so much of the plot, I couldn't tell you what even happened in the middle. It was all a blur of tomboy sexualization, of putting our girl in skimpy outfits, of school shenanigans which are far too played out at this point. After all that, it still tried to go beyond what stories usually do. It goes beyond the relationship status, and it does touch the future of our main couple, but since it's so shallow, I just didn't care. Their dynamic isn't fun, it's just idealistic. It's like watching the downtime of real couples, and that's fine in other manga which have a great dynamic between the leads. I don't need conflict, I don't need there to be problems in the relationship, I just need to see their best moments, and a goal for each of them. MC doesn't have anything he strives for, he doesn't exist outside the relationship, and neither does our FMC. She doesn't exist outside the relationship, except for something she achieves very early on, leaving the rest of the story in a bunch of nothingness. They progress as a couple, that's literally it. Hell, get them worrying about exams, get them having an issue with meeting too much, helping each other sometimes, no it's just their lunchtime, and people supporting them non-stop. Give me something. Nice art, sometimes, otherwise the faces are so stiff. None of them change expressions that much at all. 4/10. Whole lotta nothing, with some great tomboy art. That alone can't carry your story.
