Synopsis

Yuu Inuzuka's villainous face strikes terror in the hearts of others, no matter how hard he tries to smile and look normal. He's really just an ordinary guy trying to get a fresh start in high school. Inuzuka shares a co-ed dorm with others who have secrets similar to his own—they're all live-streamers! However, Inuzuka gave up that lifestyle to start his new life. Given his current sticky living situation, will he be drawn back in?

Nonsuggestive romcom harem slob, with plenty of misunderstandings to keep the plot moving a long.
The 3 girls are lovely, but the other sidecharacters aren't impressively written.

The main character struggles with self-loathing, but it is kinda unrelatable, because it's not based on him being fugly and having hurt others in any remarkable way, but instead having a resting bitch face and having given bad advice to a stranger once. He has the tropey traits of being a "chore god" as well as a wholesome and nice person. Real self-loathing is damaging to a degree, where you cannot be kind and wholesome, while doing chores ...

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (11/96 eps)

Despite featuring an intriguing premise, Koshita node Cast shitemita fails to reel in readers.

This is because the story here uses its interesting and rather timely premise of live streamers for a rather unsubtle and by-the-numbers romantic comedy instead of exploring in-depth the other much more interesting aspects of being a live streamer, namely the aspect of what goes on behind the scenes, the live streamers emotions, their conflicting identities (irl and online), work-life balance, and the very real issue of being stalked and doxxed by fans or 'haters'. Though the manga does touch on such subjects, it places the romantic harem comedy story front ...

---------THIS REVIEW IS SPOILER FREE---------

Koishita node Cast shitemita, five years of publication in Ganma! and 96 chapters. Written by female mangaka Tama Azuma, Koishita is her second published manga to my knowledge. She also wrote Yumekui from 2014 to 2018. From 2021 to 2024 she also did VTuber wa Mana Naranai! For the Ultra Jump. The manga only lasted 4 volumes and 27 chapters; I’m wondering if two mangas at the same time was a bit too much for her.

So, what is Koishita about? Yuu Inuzuka face inspires terror to the others, he can’t smile normally (never done before you might think). As he ... tries to restart his social life in high school, he shares a dorm with 5 people: Hakua Arisuwaga, Yuzuko Jimi, Sora Takane, Saotome Souta and Aruvina Satou. They all have a secret: they are live streamers. Inuzuka was a streamer but something happened and he stopped, hence why the whole « fresh start ».

I’m cool with suspending my disbelief. All 5 streamers aren’t aware that they all break the dorm rules by doing so and they don’t know each one of them is a streamer. Obviously, you could argue that they make so much noise, they have to know (which will be a huge running gag). Especially Hakua since she’s literally screaming all the time. But like I said, I don’t mind, it’s fiction.

This is where the manga lost itself: the theme isn’t part of the story; it’s just a pretext so start a story. In the end, Koishita just uses every single common trope you can find in any romance manga and the livestreaming part doesn’t add anything to enhance the story. It’s absolutely just a pretext so deliver the same storyline you can find in any generic romance manga. And it’s really fast. I feel like everything about livestreaming goes out the window really fast, I never felt I was reading something unique. Just generic.

It goes the same way for the characters. There’s nothing much to say, they all play a type of personage with little to no real psychology behind their own problems. I’m especially astonished on how the reason behind Inuzuka quitting livestreaming is not even a really big thing. It’s the freaking synopsis and I legit cannot remember precisely why he stopped. Incredible, quickly swept under the carpet.
As the story goes on, the manga is just a poor-made harem. I feel bad for Vina and Souta, the two boys besides Yuu. They’re bland man. Even with the gimmick Vina brings to the table, it’s just bland, you don’t care about whatever happens to them. Sure, they both got some little story arcs but there’s not enough to empathize with either one. Jimi and Takane are fine (even tough Takane absolutely disappears towards the end) but it’s not a revolution nor well-written characters.

About the art… whatever, I guess? The artstyle of Tama Azuma does suits characters like Jimi and Takane but I don’t really feel like it was a good match for everybody else. I don’t know, the backgrounds weren’t existent most of the time, the decoupage was alright at best. Average overall.

Bear in mind, I’m a sucker for romances. It’s by far my favorite theme, hence why I found myself reading things like Koishita node Cast shitemita. I don’t think it’s a good manga, it’s quickly boring, you don’t sympathize with the personages, blandness all over the place. I don’t get it.
I’m cool with people liking the manga, everybody has their own taste after all but I’m not going to recommend you to read this. Look elsewhere.
