I was looking for a good drama-less romance manga after enjoying Bonnouji and landed on this. Read it in a day, and I was not disappointed. This is one of the best romances out there! Feelsgood romantic manga with no drama and no third wheel characters are rare to find. Every typical romance manga has some drama and third wheels and that has become too generic. Fortunately Kyou no Yuiko-san has none of them. Just a middle school romance that is super cute. Yuiko is your typical tsundere who's in a relationship with the super normal Tomoya. The manga starts from a point when there relationship hasalready began and the story progresses with more of Yuiko chan's character development. At first she appears selfish and irritable but deep down there's a cute but shy middle schooler hiding. The manga does a great job of revealing her true feelings to Tomoya. The art is good, not great, but good. Yuiko is too cute and so are the other girls(sigh, why aren't real girls so cute as this). The story is a bit generic romance minus the drama bs, so I loved it. As for enjoyment, I'll give it a 9/10, because I really loved it. If you are looking for just a plain, casual and lovely romance, read Kyou no Yuiko-san. I promise you, you'll not be disappointed. It's a great manga, and one that deserves an anime adaptation.
Tomoya Tadano and Yuiko Kuroki are two high school students that have recently started dating. From holding hands to walking home together, there are still many things for them to explore as a couple. However, Yuiko is a person who does everything strictly by the book and has a hard time being honest about her feelings. Although she really wants to enjoy her time with Tomoya, she often gets embarrassed and claims that performing romantic acts in public is irresponsible and indecent. Thus, she conveys her desires in a roundabout way, as she refuses to break any rules, trouble the people around them, or accept unnecessary compromises. Despite Yuiko's personality, Tomoya accepts her for who she is and goes along with her whims. For the adorable couple, every day is fun and exciting as they try out different ways to become closer to each other. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
Hello, everyone. To be quite honest, I don't understand why this series is rated somewhat poorly. Does romance have to be action-packed, and filled with drama, and have insanely macho masculine men? Does there really have to be a damsel-in-distress at every passing moment for the MC to rescue, or plan to rescue? No. There really doesn't have to be one. This manga will show you why, and hopefully, charm you with its beauteous simplicity. The synopsis is exactly what it says: this really is the story of a boy, and his girlfriend, or a girl, and her boyfriend. Whichever you prefer. Story: When it comes to the story,you get your average slice-of-life coupled with the moe moments, and the moe flowers bloom, etc. so there isn't really too much to talk about there, but the protagonists recognize their feelings for each other rather quickly, and act on them (thank goodness) instead of the generic back-and-forth "action" that we typically see in modern manga. Art: The art isn't anything terribly fantastic, but it conveys the emotion that the characters feel rather clearly, and it's still rather up-to-date with today's standards. I would say it's not anything special, but its quirks make it rather easy on the eyes, and enjoyable. Character: This is where I'm rather happy regarding this story. The characters have very gradual development throughout the story, but near the end, they change their attitudes rather quickly. Perhaps, I'm not experienced enough with relations in real life to say too much on this subject, but it was rather surprising. The development between the MCs is something already, but the side characters all get their own moments in the spotlight from time to time, and it becomes apparent that growth isn't limited to just the protagonists, but the ones supporting them as well. Enjoyment: This was so ridiculously easy to read, enjoyable, and stress-free *cough waiting for Kingdom chapters cough*. Hah, but banter aside, there's very little drama, and the manga explores the situations that young people growing up usually encounter, and how in this case, they choose to communicate. They choose to try to understand each other, instead of following the beaten path of miscommunication. Overall: Today's Yuiko-san might just be a little different from tomorrow's Yuiko-san. There were some minor quirks that irked me, but they could be enjoyable for the next person over. I give this a 9/10. Purely enjoyable from a slow pace-of-life standpoint. To those that enjoy a manga on the more peaceful side, this is a hidden gem indeed.
This manga is downright amazing. I didn't think much of it at first, simply viewing it as a typical romance manga with a tsundere female love interest who constantly torments the MC, similar to Chitoge from Nisekoi. This was true for the first half of the manga, but Yuiko's awkwardness and jealousy charmed me which fueled me not to drop it. Furthermore, Tomoya and her had many cute romantic moments and arguments which were enjoyable to read. However, it was in the later part of the manga where I realised just how much of a masterpiece this was. I'm trying not to spoil it soI won't be able to cite any examples, but basically, both Tomoya and Yuiko begin to mature and start thinking about their future together, and how they can shape it by making crucial but sacrificial decisions in the present, even if they may involve being able to see each other less. Furthermore, as Yuiko was 'seperated' from Tomoya during the later part of the manga, we are able to see how she develops as a character and how she learns to stop relying on Tomoya, step out of her comfort zone, and try to form her own circle of friends. Needless to say, she was successful, and it was heartwarming to see how she enjoyed life with her new friends. Although it was heart-wrenching to have to watch Tomoya spiral into loneliness and slight jealousy, the new matured Yuiko manages to comfort him, express how grateful she is to him and tell him her true feelings regarding their relationship. You can either view this manga as a typical romance manga (which it does well), or as more of a life story, with the real protagonist being Yuiko-san. It reached out to me as a charming story of a awkward high school girl's development into a passionate and mature woman of today, with plenty of help from her extremely caring boyfriend and their circle of friends, hence explaining the name Today's Yuiko-san. In conclusion, this manga really shines in comparison to other romance manga, as Kyou no Yuiko-san is able to provide the reader with 2 different 'routes' or interpretations of the deeper message it is trying to convey. Once you are able to realise the existence of both paths, it really proves to be a masterpiece.
I can guarantee that everyone who gave a low review to this work did not bother to finish a volume. This work has its entire first volume setting things up, so at the end (of the first volume) it finally enchants you. As the name says, it is the day by day of Yuiko, a high school student who has only one friend named Tomoya. The story does not start at the beginning, they already know each other and have a certain relationship of proximity and this already escapes the mainstreams which is fantastic. Furthermore, the protagonists' development is absurdly detailed and leaves you with asmile at each end of the chapter. Story 10/10 It is a story about everyday life, but very well told. Many say that Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san is innovative, this is a joke. Compared to the way this work tells things, I have never seen any other manga of romance deliver so much satisfaction. Characters are not stereotyped, the male protagonist is not dense but neither is he a badass. He is simply an ordinary student, and how it is lacking in today's works. The female protagonist initially seems very stereotyped, but at the end of the first volume it falls apart and she starts to become quite unique, the development of the story is beyond reproach. Even in the parts you don't like, you understand the reasons behind it. Art 10/10 All designs are beautiful. The background is not fantastic because it comes down to a lot in closed environments, but it shouldn't be too. The artist draws women's bodies very well, which is great. Character: 10/10 Simply the best male protagonist in Slice of Life works I've ever seen. It is not stereotyped or a super student or anything exaggerated. He's a guy who knows what he wants, but doesn't always know how to do it and learns during his development. Female heroin is unique. At first it causes a certain irritation to the way it acts and it seems to be just another tsundere cliché, but at the end of the first volume it becomes one of the best I've seen in works. All the supporting characters are really cool, they don't have much development, but they also have their good moments. Enjoyment: 10/10 I ran 48 chapters in 24 hours, does that answer your question? With each chapter you end up with a smile on your face. each conquest and step taken by both protagonists you hope that everything goes well and when you don't feel sad for them. This was one of the few works that I never supported a rival for the female or male protagonist, I just wanted to see how far they would go. If you haven't read it yet, read it. Then please do as I try to correct this injustice that is the current ranking of this work in MAL. Do your review, raise the grade brutally, this needs to become an anime! Thanks ^^
Have you ever felt fulfilled reading a manga? Well, after reading Kyou no Yuiko-san I can say that this is the most enjoyable romcom manga I've ever read. This review contains some minimal spoilers, but I recommend everyone to read. The story is no big deal: a couple of lovers living their days of immaturity in their relationship at school. Yuiko is our female protagonist, a shy and cautious character, who always tries to follow the rules of everything. Tomoya Tadano is our male protagonist. Like Yuiko, he is inexperienced in relationships, seeking to dare whenever possible, in order to getcloser to his girlfriend. In addition to them, other secondary characters surround the story, bringing a more collegial and friendly atmosphere. Throughout the manga, the characters go through a maturity process (including the secondary ones), which is visible in the final volumes. Yuiko steps out of the Tsundere style and begins to understand her real feelings. Tomoya is no longer invasive in some ways and manages to look at his partner with different eyes. The manga follows its own reading style. It is not governed by large arches or difficult reading. It has a very 4-komas-based base, with quick, everyday dialogues. In addition, each chapter has its own story, where a new adventure is told. But what interested me most in the manga was the lack I felt of a good romcom. For those who don't know, I love Gotoubun no Hanayome e Toradora !, sensational works and that I have a lot of fun with. Kyou no Yuiko-san is the perfect manga example that I recommend if you miss a project like this. It does not have the same "final resolution needed" plot as most current anime, as she has been working with the couple since the beginning of their courtship. It is not as if we did not know the end, since the work gives clues that their relationship is constantly evolving, which reduces the risk of conflicts and discussions. However, this does not mean that there are no fights and everything that is right. The most serious moments exist and further intensifies their interaction with the other characters. Since the protagonists are shy and reserved, they don't like to do anything indecent in public. In addition, problems such as jealousy, worry about schedules, wrong dates and disagreements are normal here. They add weight to the manga, making the story even more fun. The work is an example that it is possible to have a positive relationship with people of different steps. Knowing how to understand your love is essential to promote a healthy relationship. Kyou no Yuiko-san is more than approved in this regard! The only problem I found here was the "tight" ending. The last few chapters gave an idea of continuity with new characters and interactions, but she ended up reaffirming the couple's love. It's not bad, nor does it take credit for everything already created, but it left me with a desire to "want to read more". I have hopes for an anime from this fun project, so I hope for some news from the otaku world. Anyway, read this manga as soon as possible. I bet you will have a lot of laughs and you will not regret it.
