Why is this so peak tho?

I ask this question every time I finish a chapter of this manga. This is a usual romantic story of a boy and girl trying to come close, so why? The thing which makes me have a high opinion of the manga are the characters and the situational comedy they produce. Many a romance manga has the comedy tag in it, but this one takes it all too seriously. Pin point perfect comedy which has me holding my stomach when I finish the chapter. The side characters are a large chunk of the reason. They act as a proxy for ... the readers making them think that they are not the only one as spectators, and their reactions are also on point . And god, the hype generated during all this may even rival a shounen battle chapter. The author seems to try to make it a jack of all trades and I am all in on it.

The art looks alright to me, looks a ltttle grim at times. Development is happening at a relatively slow pace but I am gonna give it the benefit of doubt considering there are only 5 chapters.

Tired of reading rom com manga and just screaming at the main leads to get together already? Well now you can read a manga with characters who will do that for you! I love every character in this manga, the main two leads who are hopelessly in love with each other but completely oblivious to it, and the three innocent bystanders who desperately want them to just get together already and comment over every little thing they do like its a sports game. Despite the manga's crazy premise and the fact every chapter takes place in the same location, it somehow never gets old and ... is consistently hilarious. The art is charming, the characters are endearing, every joke lands, and although the pacing is slow that actually works in its favor because it allows for more funny moments. If you want a refreshing and funny rom com you have to read this.

7.5/10


This is definitely a really solid, wholesome romance manga, but it certainly has its flaws partly due to its unique premise.

The premise of this manga is honestly one of, if not the first, of its kind by portraying a romcom from the bystanders’ pov, and it honestly makes for some really funny moments with their reactions to the male and female lead, sort of like a “breaking the 4th wall moment.”

Though, this also does come with some flaws plot wise, as the pacing is REALLY slow, and the side characters/bystanders are just that — side characters, they aren’t developed or explored besides for adding their ... typical jokes, which is a shame. Some people might consider the lack of detail in the side characters a bit charming, as it enhances the realism as them being the audience, directing the attention to the ML and FML, but I would’ve, preferred otherwise, as they are equally as entertaining, especially when they bicker with each other.

As for the manga’s pacing, I mentioned it before, but it is SLOW. I get it, the story has to move really slowly since the entire setting is based on the train, and if it moves too fast, there’s not much more you could milk out of the male and female lead’s embarrassing romance. However, to take a double digit amount of chapters to learn their name ideally isn't the most entertaining pacing.

Despite the slow pacing, the manga doesn’t feel too drawn out due to its comedy/jokes each chapter. Some of the jokes are relatively unique, and every interaction in this manga does have some humor to it.

With that being said, the jokes also aren’t as potent due to the sheer amount of words. When I say the panels are wordy, they are wordy. This is usually the fault of the side characters’ exchanging speeches via text since they add “commentary” to the story, but it does get annoying/ruins the moment sometimes.

Don’t get me wrong, this manga is still entertaining as a cute romance manga, but it does get a little frustrating to read since with each chapter it feels like the male and female lead’s relationship takes 0.5 steps forward then 0.4999 steps back; well, that’s if they even took a step in the first place. If you can tolerate a really slow moving romance plot, then this story would be something to look forward to. As for me, I’m a bit half-way on it winning me over.

On a side note, the interactions with the male and female lead are reminiscent of having a gym crush where you would exchange glances for a year straight and never speak a word to each other. I’m not projecting, you are.
