Bocchi na Bokura no Renai Jijou

This is my first review, so ... yoroshiku onegaishimasu :) *Maybe contains spoiler. But, so what? You perhaps would already know the storyline after saw the cover. Let's review. What? It's already over?! If i recall, i just started to read this manga a couple hours, and it's over? Of course, it just 14 chapter long, and that's what made me kinda disappointed. The premise is suprisingly interesting at first: a single boy that already left behind by all of his classmates at finding their boyfriend/girlfriend, and when he began to feel down, a cute transfer student came. Yes, they both will fell in love each other in themiddle of the story, but since the story is kinda short, the progress of their relationship was looked too fast and the girl's feeling was kinda forced to love him. If the story was continued to make it longer, i think the story would be more enjoyable. That's why i gave 8 for the story. That's for the flaw part, in my opinion. For the other things, i gave them 9. I like this manga's art, it's beautiful. Then the characters were awesome, well-suited for its great art (especially the heroine, i think i love her hehe :D ). The characters' personalities were also good enough for short story. I absolutely enjoy reading this manga (since i want to see the heroine has more screen) Overall, (almost) 9 out of 10, i would recommend you to read it if you like well-looking heroine and light-romance story. Trust me, your two-hours of time reading this won't be wasted.

This story is exactly what Nisekoi would be like if Raku and Chitoge were reincarnated. Not only are their names similar, they bicker all the time. But, that's as far as the similarities go. Story: 9 Very nicely paced. The romance progresses well in this series, at least on the part of the heroine. The story itself is very cute and sweet, and definitely a good pick-me-up after some heavy drama. The only issues I have with this series are: (1) Sometimes, the story advances a little too quickly, so that it feels almost unbelievable. In a way, the author "timeskips" what should be important thought processesin the characters' mind in favor of plot advancement, which leads to a slightly unfulfilled feel. (2) The story slows down too much near the end in comparison to how fast it advanced in the beginning, and the MC suddenly...becomes a wuss. It feels rather melodramatic, and I believe that things could have been storyboarded differently to mitigate that. Art: 9 The characters are distinct for the most part (except maybe in one case, but it's debatable), and the heroines are very adorable. The background matches the characters' and situations' tone and mood. The scenery isn't special, but fits the style of this manga. It's pleasing to the eyes for sure, and feels "modern." Character: 9 The characters, especially the main duo, have character. They're able to get what needs to be done, done. The side characters are supportive and likable. The characters do show growth, with the exception of the MC who seems to de-mature slightly before maturing again towards the end. Enjoyment: 9 Definitely enjoyable. Will make you gasp, laugh, go "aww," but maybe not cry. You might feel slightly frustrated at the MC, but it won't be anything compared to the OTHER Ichijou. Would I reread? Maybe. Am I glad I picked it up? Without a doubt. Overall: 9. Would love to give a 10, but it does leave a slightly unsatisfied feel at the end.

I liked the premise and also the fact that it didn't dwell on character denseness to extend the series or make comedy. However, the jokes weren't funny to me. Plus there was some preachy text inside which annoyed me a bit. It was a little, no, way too straightforward, to the point that the 2 MCs reactions sounded so damn scripted. I did not like the art. It was so empty. During the preachy speeches, the text was in text boxes with shades and different polygons as you would see with so many shoujo manga. There was rarely background. The 2 lovers were bland. Predictable. Epitomes of thearchetypical rightful timid boy and honest girl. It has some good parts that make you feel good, but it was bogged down because of the aforementionned annoying factors. Thus, it was a fair romance manga. However, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, unless they wanted an example of a way too predictable Romcom that isn't funny. Basically, I didn't like this manga because it's unrealness prevented me to enjoy the "chemistry" between the two MCs.
