As a preface, I'm a guy who likes a good clean uplifting romance more than any other genre. I want the romance aspect front and center with a good story. I can take some depressing drama and even borderline NTR but only in moderation. The stories I go for don't necessarily have to be unique and without typical tropes as long as the presentation is great. Having said that, this manga was great. And because of the whole premise, the pace was quite energetic. Something relevant was always happening to push character development so I never got a slice of life feel in it, and I'mnot complaining at all. Each episode enthralled me and had me binge the whole thing in just a few hours. There were some situations where it got uncomfortable to borderline painful for me, but not for too long as I feel the author was intentionally being careful not to overmarinate the reader with that sour feeling. Who would this story be good for? If you're having insecurities with who you are, or if you're being hardheaded about "changing yourself", this would be perfect for you. Everything is a compromise in life. Basically, it's saying you need to love yourself for who you are, but you also need to love yourself enough to be willing to change for the better.
Traumatized by events from his past, Naoki Kashiwada intends to make his high school debut by hiding the fact that he is an otaku, transitioning into a regular student. Naoki quickly develops feelings for the quiet and popular Midori Hasegawa, which helps motivate him to reach his goal. At the same time, Momo Koigasaki, a cute but seemingly promiscuous girl, secretly wants to learn about anime and visual novels to find common ground with her crush, Souta Suzuki. However, things don't go as expected when a mix-up reveals Naoki's and Momo's secrets to each other! Forming an unlikely alliance, the two reach an agreement: Momo will help Naoki socialize normally if he helps her understand otaku culture in return. Two people with clashing lifestyles must now work together to alter their identities, while somehow keeping their secrets hidden from the rest of the world. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
Man I've missed a good by-the-book romcom. This was the most satisfying read in a long time. There are no unnecessary complications, misunderstandings or other annoying tropes. Just a solid romantic comedy that know what it is and executes it perfectly. The story is basically Toradora! but condensed into half the runtime. I would dare to say though it is just as good. No chapter is wasted and it all flows from beginning to end beautifully. 10/10 story, not because it's anything groundbreaking but because it's executed perfectly. Couldn't have been written better. The characters are alright, they serve their roles well and are likable, other thanthough I can't give them too much praise. None of them were particularly complex or went further than what the story needed them to. 7-8/10 and I don't think they could've done any better without ruining the story and pacing. The art is pretty. I liked it. I am a bit put back by the juvenile look of everyone (what with everyone being 16 and older), not my personal cup of tea. But it is pretty so I give it a 7/10. Overall this is a very enjoyable manga. If you need a refill on some high quality doki dokis you're in for some good sh*t. Very much recommended.
