Synopsis

Dalia maintains the image of a cool and aloof university student, hiding that he is actually quite sensitive about his appearance, particularly his gangly limbs. Contrary to expectations, he has a major crush on his neighbor, Ruby, whose rippling muscles would put any bodybuilder to shame. Dalia can't help but admire her heroic and earnest attitude, not to mention her attractive body!

Honestly I'm only writing this review cuz there's none of it on this manga's page and I feel like it deserves one.

There's really nothing much to say about the story, it's a cute heartwarming 20 chapters that you can read in one go.

The art is real nice and soft, and the face expressions are cute and conveying.

The comedic scenes are funny and always manege to make you laugh or smile, and the intreactions between the characters are interesting and amusing and have you crave for more.

And finally the realationship between the two main characters is nice and well-thought, if the story was longer ...

Not sure why this is getting such low reviews.

It's a short read but very worth it. It's a wholesome and complete story about a guy and his crush on his well muscled next door neighbor.

Art is solid, not ground breaking but more than good enough to convey the story

Character designs are great, simple, but they suit the personalities of the characters well. Also Ruby just looks great. From depth perspective the characters don't have a ton of detail to their back stories but enough to create a convincing story around them, flaws, insecurities, and all.

Very enjoyable read that can be completed in a causal afternoon.
