I feel compelled to write a review for this manga as I had absolutely zero expectations going into it and now having finished it, I can safely say it is easily one of my favorite romance mangas. Truth be told, the only thing that led me to read this was the cover art, because the synopsis sure leaves quite a bit to be desired and the main male lead is ugly... But I found myself speedrunning through this manga and I was pleasantly surprised... No, actually pleasantly is an understatement, I was extremely surprised. What I got was a believable and wholesome romance with it'sown trials and challenges, and a male lead who is one of the GOATs. So much so that he deserves his own paragraph. So without further ado, let me introduce you. Haruto Iruma... Boy oh boy, did he carry this manga hard. Although on the exterior, he's got absolutely nothing going for him and he is an otaku tragic, we quickly see that there's more than meets the eye through none other than the lens of the female lead. Iruma is peak comedy and not in a way that makes the reader laugh at him. Honestly, every time he shows up, he always steals the show... But his purpose is not purely comedic relief; he's got his own circumstances and despite all he's going through, he still manages to be warm, kind and empathetic. As a certain character quotes, "He was as warm and refreshing as the sun itself, while also as gentle as a spring breeze". Most importantly however; he's relatable and I can easily put myself in his shoes, and not just because he's ugly. So yeah, he's a GOAT. Now, you would think that putting so much into the male main lead would cause the rest of the cast to suffer, but it's actually the opposite. The supporting cast, well... they do exactly as they say, they support the main characters. They aren't the most fleshed out, but they don't need to be. They are there to make the main characters shine, and they do just that. I guess we have to talk about the female lead as well, Asahina Wakaba. The story is written from her perspective and I am glad that it is because we can clearly see that she is not perfect, not by any means. She is a character with many faults and that is what makes her a good character. Not going to spoil anything, but it's these imperfections really makes their relationship shine and grow despite how different they appear on the outside. The art? There's nothing much to say other than that it's really good. It's what drew me in initially and it didn't disappoint. It's not the most stunning by any means, but there is clearly a lot of thought and attention to detail here. This is clearly illustrated in the subtle detail changes which occur depending on the nature of the scene. When it's a happy moment, the lines and drawings will be soft and mellow. In contrast, when the scene is gloomy or colder in nature, they will be sharp and precise. The art does an excellent job at highlighting and expressing in first person, Wakaba's state of mind and emotions at the current moment. The only flaw I have about this manga is that it's only 18 chapters and the ending felt slightly rushed. This didn't detract from my enjoyment of it much, but it did leave me wanting more and feeling a bit empty after it was over. Let's be real though, not many manga to pull off a compelling, wholesome and heartfelt story with great character depth and growth in the first place, let alone in merely 18 chapters. In summary, this manga is a real gem. In just 18 chapters, it managed to make me emotionally invested with the characters, feeling for their struggles and also finding joy in their happiness. The author really went the whole nine yards to deliver, and man did he deliver. So yeah, read this manga, it's fucking good.
Wakaba Asahina is a shy and slightly awkward girl. She is coerced by her classmates as a punishment game to confess to Haruto Iruma, the number one most hated boy in school. Though her relationship with Haruto starts out with an air of gloom for Wakaba, her depressing school life is dyed with color when she discovers that they share more in common than what she thinks.

More Like a 9.5 but basically this just slaps. Only reason it aint a 10 is cause nothing is perfect, and the one vital mistake this manga has is that it only has 18 chapters. Most wholesome Manga you've ever seen in your life basically so if you like a wholesome romance, you need this in your life. That really it but I have to write more to submit this review, but there aint much more to say cause it just is amazing. Period. My current favorite romance manga for sure I'd say. Im a sucker for wholesome stuff. SO, all in all, you needto read this. The end.
The old me says that "things that end abruptly mustn't be good!". Oh, how young I am. I read this as the translator team reaches the 10th chapter and while getting excited after such a long time stalling myself for not picking any drama story because of the white album devastate I had back in 2017, oh boy how low my instinct about this now. Asahina Wakaba is a beautiful yet shy girl in the corner of the class. She got bullied a lot for not having any friends by her classmates to confess a fake confession that she's in love with the most "hated"guy in the school (well, not really but a body-shaming statement coming from some people from the outside of a bubble). The story itself is one of hella trainwreck when the author really put everything in it but somehow it really left a great impact on me as a reader that actually avoided drama story. The flow of the story itself is very good and their ups and downs make the composition a perfect one. The art is just like your typical good art and something that you can expect from a well-drawn school manga. Still, not leaving any impact whatsoever just a simple good art hence I wrote the art style is only at 8. The characters, ah I really hate the unreasonable bad characters in here so the numbers must be higher huh? But no, I will still give it a 7 because of my hatred towards a certain character in the series and even, how hypocritical Wakaba is. I'm not blaming her for it though, bullying itself are a pretty sinful thing to do and the result is the hypocrite Wakaba herself and the bad guy's personality really put me on my edge too At the end of the day, I truly enjoyed my time here. I really recommend it for people to have a little journey by reading this series.
I can't believe it. I just can't. I finally found a story that doesn't drag the consumer out to a long bullshit tangent and straight its story. This is probably my all-time favorite manga ever. Aside from Bunny Girl Senpai and Kimi-Zero (Manga Vers.). Just a quick summary, assuming you don't want a spoiler. The main protagonist, as you see in the title, is named Asahina Wakaba. She is a so-called, loner and gets bullied a lot. One day her bully decided to do something that they thought was a good prank to do to Wakaba and another student in the school, which is a grossfatty otaku, Iruma Haruto. Without spoilers too far, turns out Haruto was an angel and even got praised by his classmates for how he handled himself a lot. I swear, I can't spoil you too much but I just can't. At least I want to share with you my favorite panel, which is chapter 15 on panel 16. Oh boy, I love that panel so much. Overall I love this manga, straight to the point and it's up there with my favorite Webtoon called Flawless. Overall rating: 9.8 (It's not perfect but it is a very good read) (BTW, if you want to read it and don't understand the panel that I was talking about, read the manga through MangaUp or read the hard copy of it, it's easier to understand because a panel is a page.)
Asahina Wakaba & Her Chubby-Chubby Boyfriend is such a heartwarming and sweet love story! It beautifully captures the journey of two unlikely individuals coming together and finding solace in each other. The story revolves around a bullied girl who gathers the courage to confess to a chubby guy, and as their bond deepens, she unexpectedly falls for him. What stands out the most is how well the author portrays the characters' emotions and traumas. The story dives deep into their struggles and vulnerabilities, showing how they gradually learn to understand and support each other. Despite being an unrealistic premise, the way the author handles it feelsso genuine and heartfelt that it becomes entirely believable. I absolutely adore how this manga explores themes of acceptance, healing, and love in such a tender and relatable way. Itβs stories like this that make you long for a similar kind of pure and sweet love in real life. Donβt we all wish for someone who sees us for who we truly are and loves us unconditionally? Story 10/10 Art 9/10 I hope you guys like my views on this Manga Thanks
