Highly recommended. This high school rom-com follows a tall Yankee girl, Ayaka, and a short otaku boy, Itsuki, who become friends after they are seated next to one another in school.

A web manga with 40 very brief scenes or chapters, it is an easy binge for an afternoon or evening. The characters are original and well differentiated. Both the main characters and side characters have a depth that would not be expected in such a brief format.

Over the course of five months, Ayaka and Itsuki start out as "pals", but their relationship evolves thanks to their generous acceptance of one another, and Itsuki's ... respect for Ayaka's strength. Ayaka's girlfriends encourage her to take the next steps to move the relationship along, and Itsuki relies on his study of Rom Com manga. The plot is simple: can these two misfits become more than just pals? Readers are left to complain that the story ended far too soon, but lovers of high school romance should feel satisfied.

This is adorable.. It's super gimmicky (every chapter starts the same for the most part) but it does it well.

The premise is a delinquent looking girl coming up to an otaku and we see her through his eyes. What I really liked is the beginning gradually changing. At first he always describes her as scary, then he gets interested in her and in chapter 39 when they get together he doesn't mention anything anymore. Real cute, not many manga of this type use the gimmick like this (another great example in my opinion is Girigiri Saegiru Katagiri-san).

Characters are nothing special, seen them in many manga ... before but they're cute so I liked them. 7/10

The story is very basic, it doesn't try anything special but it doesn't need to. It's a perfect little feel-good piece to enjoy for an hour or two. 7/10

The art is pretty average but pretty enough so I have no comments. 6/10

Overall a nice comfort read, I recommend it.
