Wanted to wait til the manga was over to give it a final review but I think it deserves a recommendation now, because it is currently one of the best ongoing manga full stop.

Aono-kun starts as a mix between horror and romantic comedy, in a pretty lowkey way. From the beginning, I was really impressed at the mangaka's mastery of tonal shift--one moment it's a very funny story about awkward teenage sexuality, the other it is sending chills down your spine, the next it is warming your heart--and all of it feels natural and well balanced.
