Plot
MC is Otaku. He sits behind a outgoing friendly black Gyaru (Ijichi), and often lends her stuff like pencils because she's forgetful. Her Bestfriend is a cold ice queen white Gyaru. MC is looking to discuss his new found favorite anime, and happens to realize that the white Gyaru is also a fellow woman of culture. This starts the friendship of our unusual trio, and slowly the girls start falling in love with our MC as the plot progresses.

Review
To keep this simple, this is an average series. The main appeal is probably the wholesome vibe of the series and some decent (although trope-y) comedy ... about Otaku X popular Gyaru.

This is pure male fantasy. The girls are hot af. especially the black Gyaru. Their outfits are also great. The MC is the usual plain MC you find in most manga. Most of the series is just ticking off a list of manga tropes like cultural festival, summer beach, fireworks festival, karaoke, home visits etc. and it has fast enough pacing to finish every event in one or two chapters. But every chapter is wholesome cute and reasonably funny (subjective).

This is a manga designed for a particular target niche genre.. If you like this genre, then you definitely won't regret starting this.

NOTE: The manga takes some time to get going. I would recommend reading until chapter 7, where it starts to solidify its setting.

7.8/10


Popular Gyarus loving an otaku -- a concept done a million of times before, poorly or perfectly. To filter out the waste from the gold, there are three things to look to: Plot progression/pacing, character chemistry, and uniqueness. Besides for the lack of uniqueness in the premise, the other aspects of this manga make it worth reading and an enjoyable experience.

Time after time, there are romance mangas that have 50+ chapters, yet the furthest point the fantasized couple has gotten to was hand-holding or an indirect kiss. In other words, most of the chapters are boring and have no direction to the overarching plot. However, ... with this manga, there's actual progression in romantic developments and character; though that's a god-send, it was an unnatural development forced by the author. However, to have no development over a forced one would simply be idiotic, as one is forgettable; besides for that one flaw in this manga, the characters' chemistry make this manga all the worth more reading. As for the premise, it has a small bit of uniqueness by their being two gals; besides for that, there's not much else except for a bundle of wholesome, cute moments.

There may not be a unique twist on the trope in this manga, but that does not mean it is boring in any way. Carried by the characters' chemistry and development, this manga strangely does not teeter the line of cringe, but rather a light-hearted, fun experience.
