I thought it was alright. Art was so-so: Feet were noticeably rough. Panel fillings were average-looking. Character art, anatomy, and style for the most part looked pretty good. The funny faces were funny. Character dynamics were entertaining enough but felt repetitive towards the end. Mashiro and Hamada's dynamics were the most entertaining. Plot development was fine. Rom-com hijinks. Conclusion was good and was satisfying enough for what this manga was. Bonus epilogue chapter sorted out the rest of the side characters' relationships which I liked. I thought this manga was overall average but the execution of its "selling point"/"plot quirk" was done well enough to keep me turning pages.Yeah, I'd recommend reading this. My favorite was Mashiro and Hamada.
I used to have better grades than this fool! 3 years ago... Ruu Kurokiya, a Kuro Gyaru, is on her way to flunking high school. Her childhood friend, Straight-A student Tadao Tadashi volunteers as private tutor to avert her reckless path―but Ruu's more focused on seducing him than learning, and their study sessions soon go wildly astray! When a "Gyaru's Pride" clashes with Tadao's "Take-it-Serious" attitude, who knows what will happen next! An unexpected rom-com so pure you can't help but cheer it on! (Source: One Peace Books)
Out of 100 Nobles watching… 75 were impressed! 15 thought there wasn’t meat on the bones for the story 10 weren’t that impressed with the artwork Tedama ni Toritai Kurikiya-san is a manga in the unfortunately niche genre of gyaru romance. It follows a dumb as rocks girl trying to get her childhood friend to confess to her. The story has an interesting hook that the male lead is a comedically honest and straightforward person so when the lusty heroine tries to play the games typical of the genre her plans usually backfire. The series kept things very brief at just under 40 chapters so perhaps my complaint abouta thin plot is unwarranted, I would much rather praise the story for remaining mostly concise. A number of extra characters were added to pad the course of the story but most of them were enjoyable and fun. The artwork had lots of cute and expressive panels but overall, the series isn’t particularly detailed or noteworthy. Apologies for the rather brief review but I took large breaks between chapters and have been studying Japanese rigorously so only take my criticisms so harshly. I hope the author continues to make more manga. I saw something about a horny nun story they were doing but not sure what they’re up to. At the end of the day if you’re starved for gyaru romance stories this was one of the better stories I’ve read so far.
This is a romcom I somehow picked up and I don't remember why. The story follows Kurokiya as she tries to get a reaction from Tadao, her childhood friend and crush, by trying to be lewd. The main joke of the manga is how Tadao is straightface gang despite everything that Kurokiya tries to do. When it comes to a comedy manga with this premise, it has to really lift itself up with something in order to be entertaining. I think this manga does that well as the mangaka knows how to make really exaggerated and humorous expressions despite the generally serviceable artstyle. It also helpsthat the series is only worth <50 chapters long, which makes for a light read that doesn't overstay its welcome. Also because of this length, the romantic development flowed in a pretty comfortable pace, in my opinion. At the same time though, I can't say it filled my heart as much as other series when the main characters finally got together. There are a few side characters and they were fine too, especially Kurokiya's friend which made for a couple of comedic scenes here and there.
