Well, I just finished this manga and in a way I had a good time, it's like taking the concept of the Bully who is in love with the main character but giving it a twist that she ends up being the embarrassed one, I think it's refreshing.
Story: The truth is simple in everything, from the plot itself to the narrative, but it's not heavy, but if I have something bad to say it was the ending, it really felt more like the beginning of an arc than an ending, it was too dry, insipid to be one.
Characters: The characters were likable from my point ... of view and always respected their own characterization.
Art: I liked the designs, let's move on to the next point.
Entertainment: I watched all the chapters in one day and it wasn't heavy, I really enjoyed it.

(review with some minor spoilers)
I read this not expecting much of it, thinking it would be pretty average and that I would probably drop it after a few chapters. Surprisingly, the story picked my interest and I got hooked on how the main characters relationships progressed.

STORY: 7
The story is not really that creative. The female lead is your stereotypical girl that likes to tease the MC, but in this case it usually is the girl who ends up embarrased. The plot is really simple and it progresses in a slow but steady pace, furthermore the ending is quite satisfying.

ART: 8
The art in this manga is ... probably the best point to read it, it's clean and even kinda cute. I specially like how the author uses the fanservice scenes without it being extremely saturated on the progress.

CHARACTER: 7
Although the main couple are pretty cute and are elaborated, the side characters are not very impressive and it feels that they're lacking in personality, almost like they are directly copied from any other rom com manga.

ENJOYMENT: 8
I enjoyed every damn second I was reading this manga. It always gives you a feel of satisfaction and fulfillness as you turn the pages and se the reactions of the female lead.

I highly recommend this manga to any romcom enjoyers. It's pretty short so you should give it a shot if you're bored.

These 31 chapters are the penultimate definition of the average 4/10 romcom.
It's arguably too short to really build a lasting investment in the characters, but this also means the mangaka don't have time for most of the regular tropes, liked the locked equipment room, the lost child, the aquarium date, under the teachers desk and so forth.
Nothing in this manga is surprising or unexpected.
Nothing is tackled in an unexpected way.
The characters are cute, well drawn and believeable, but doesn't get much time to shine.

This is romcom slob, but sometimes, that is exactly what you need.
