I've also been following the manga for a while and this is my 3rd reread, with my first read through being up to Chapter 20ish? I think, and my second being up to the hiatus. So I'm a big fan of this manga, Super high reccomendation if you're looking for a romance manga that actually has stuff happen.

Maybe a too high rating sure but I really love this manga, I love the growth of the characters it never really feels stagnant. The start is signifcantly more horny and mean than the rest of the manga. The hornyness makes sense since so many manga are ... super horny in the first 5 - 10 chapters and then it's just gone for most of it after. and the MCs being mean/ super harsh is intended for the character growth which I personally found really well written. I enjoy the dynamic between the 2 mcs, again due to their growth and believable chemistry. Just a well written manga with some nice pacing that never feels likes it going through the motions, as so many manga feel like they just get stuck in the same period of time with the characters never growing or changing, though in this manga stuff happens and it's super enjoyable to read and watch characters develop. (I have like 1 minor complaint with a specific character but overall I have very few issues with this)

A really well-made romcom that's definitely worth giving a try. The art feels clean and is a treat to look at; the author does a good job of making expressive characters, especially Kuchinashi's expressions are fun to look at. The interactions between Kuchinashi and Kiritsu are entertaining, with her getting embarrassed as she tries to execute her plans, usually turning the situation ecchi, and Kiritsu reacting back in a stiff and serious way. I think a lot of the enjoyment will be divided depending on your taste for ecchi rather than the romcom because there is a whole bunch of it in this manga, and ... most of the comedy is centered on it.

For me, I found the manga funny because of Kuchinashi's absurd plans and how she always takes it in a perverted direction while at the same time having basically no sex education which adds to the hilariousness of the situation. Overall, I think the two have a fun synergy, and it's a great manga to read for a good laugh.

Not very good but upon a reread binge of several manga I found this not as annoying as I did Initially, especially now that more characters have come in to spice up the story and comedy.

My main problem with the manga is purely preference, I don't like the dynamic of bickering marriage couple. Which is why I don't like the current dynamic between Tsubaki and Kiritsu. It doesn't help that the very first chapter is about Tsubaki trying to get Kiritsu to molest her on camera so he gets expelled and potentially die socially.

Am I supposed to be charmed by this? I get it she's ... just being a typical bitchy tsundere, in truth she just wants to charm Kiritsu.

...That doesn't make it better thiough?

As shown later Kiritsu DOES care about her and finds her sexually attractive, the only problem is that Tsubaki constantly tries to scheme some sort of plan to make Kiritsu submit rather than trying to talk to him and become closer gradually over time. Which makes sense, once you find out a bit of her background but...It's just annoying.

These two do an awful job of communicating, it isn't until chapter 20 where the two manage to have a somewhat decent conversation without (too much) miscommunication or a screaming battle at the end. It is the only good, romantic moment the two have in fact. Even the date chapter just ended with a bitter taste in my mouth.

Later on we get more and more hints about Tsubaki's past and how she not only has overprotective parents who sheltered her, she was also molested, harassed and from the implications almost raped by other men. It would explain her overall bitter nature towards men, even to Kiritsu despite her knowing that he's not like those assholes from before.

HOWEVER, even with all these things, I can see potential. I really like the friendship between Tsubaki and Chihara, Yarino is pretty funny so far and I'm interested in seeing Kiritsu and Tsubaki actually managing to become friends and maybe even lovers.

Would I reccomend it? ehhhh, not quite yet. But I feel it's getting there. Also, it has fanservice so the target audience will like it even if they find the romance bad.
