Synopsis

After being featured as a model in a popular fashion magazine, Nanaki Fujishiro feels positive that she is the most attractive girl in the world. Looking down on those who fail to put effort into their appearance—like her shy classmate Kanade Kurokawa—Nanaki goes through school life prioritizing looks above all else, surrounding herself with popular and attractive friends as well as an equally appealing boyfriend. Because she believes that her beauty will lead her to success, the last thing Nanaki expects is for one of her friends to reveal that Nanaki's boyfriend is cheating. Confronting him only leads to Nanaki being dumped, insulted, and left a crying mess until Kanade falls out of a nearby storage locker after overhearing the whole ordeal.

Kanade, having planned to live a peaceful, insignificant school life, is just as startled as Nanaki. Despite how Nanaki has treated her in the past, Kanade feels sympathy for the popular girl's heartbreak, and her first instinct is to comfort her. Against all odds, Nanaki and Kanade slowly grow closer to each other and more distant from everyone else. As Nanaki introduces Kanade to the world of fashion and comes to better understand Kanade's otaku lifestyle, new feelings emerge that neither of them could have anticipated.

A yuri manga of the school girl variety.

This is one of the best yuri manga there is imo. Right up there with "Citrus" and "Bloom into you". It has similarities in many ways simply because it's also school based, but the art and story are in no way copies.

The MCs are a gyaru and an otaku (bit like Citrus). And the main topic that seems to move the story forward is "being cute" (on the surface level). This doesn't sound that exciting, and perhaps it isn't for you, but it's appropriate for a manga about school girls and the way the story is build ...

Back at it again with the yuri manga review. Today, I will be talking about Dekisokonai no Himegimi-tachi. Let's get right into it.

The story ultimately boils down to this: a very unpopular girl from a very unpopular group meets a very popular girl from a very popular group due to an unexpected circumstance. Plot wise, it's been done a thousand times already, but what truly matters is the execution. To put it bluntly, I don't think it is executed that well. Most drama feels forced and really depends on coincidences a lot. Not only that, the way they resolve most drama is by either 'letting ...

Preliminary (40/40 eps)
I have read a lot of yuri manga so I tried reading this manga after seeing this on MAL. I the score it has right now is really low compared to how good it is. It is no masterpiece like Bloom Into You but it is one of the best yuri manga I have read.
The art in this manga is amazing and is 10/10. The characters too are really good and likable. The story is really good and well presented and does not feel rushed at all.
I may have given this a score of 9/10 but I would give it a 9.5/10 ...
