This manga is creepy, even if the colorful cover and pretty art would lead you to think otherwise.
The gist of it is that convenience store employee Chino calls out a stalker following a woman, said stalker (Kouhei) apologizes and says it's all a misunderstanding, Chino believes him...and ends up being the new target of Kouhei's stalking. But...that's not THAT bad, right? What IS bad, is the fact that street-smart former delinquent Chino is kept as dumb as possible so that the plot can continue, despite all the stalking being called out repeatedly and reasonably by his friends.
Take your pick of the batshit things Kouhei does,
...
that would make me run for the hills: breaking into Chino's apartment and pouring coffee on his bed (while Chino is laying on it) in a fit of jealousy, pinning Chino down on the bed and trying to force a kiss on him, "coincidentally" popping up randomly closer and closer to Chino's house, having the most obvious deranged stalker stare in the universe. And when Chino's friends tell him, "Hey, bro, dude, hermano, we didn't give him your name or address, this asshole's stalking you for real!", our boy goes, "He's an EX-stalker, he's fine, he's harmless, he can't have done that". Because Kouhei feeds him sweets.
Example of affront against common sense: "Wow, I wonder why this guy, who was accused of stalking just days before (which I personally witnessed), is kissing my foot now, and yesterday pushed me down and tried to kiss me. And why does his room somehow look absolutely identical to mine? And why does he know my name and address despite no one telling him about it? Who knows? Not me! It's fine, he's just a bit strange!"
Now imagine me doing the biggest side-eye in the world, like in that meme with the monkey puppet.
There's more insanity that I didn't include, either to spare you the headache or to let you discover it for yourself. Thinking back, it's almost impressive how much this manga tries to evade common sense. But here's another example, as a treat:
"I wish you also liked me [the way I think you liked that girl]" - my brother in Christ, he licked your foot.
You know what...in the end, both of them are weird as hell and deserve each other. Best writing ever.
