Friendship/Relationship between two huge gap of levels;

Fam vs Low
Idol vs Cleaner
Experienced Company Owner vs Experienced Part-timer
and more.. just between these two MC and FMC.

I can say its great to read and it is underrated manga. Also, the author knows how to fill-in-the-gap the story and plots, he knows the directions. Best thing is, the author know how to surprise the reader by plot-twist the characters and situations.

The arts give good vibes, up to the normal mangaka standards. The art works, line and perspective also are good aligned. It give the good suspense and any moments (no matter its funny or oh? Ok!).

Talking about the characters heres, back to the huge gap of levels, the MC is just like humble person, and does care about what-trending-so-ever around him. He dont care about the fame, but what thing he want is, the satisfaction for being do whatever make people around him happy which made him acknowledged eventho indirected, however the FMC care about famous, from her famous, she can sell lots of items she sell, that how she can satisfy herself by achieving her goals which is "great success in entrepreneurship".

But the romances will occurs between both of them, but dont know what will happened next since they're being secretive, and plus, 3rd person (female mc) also has entered the battleships, which is the MC's childhood friends who are cuter, then this plot might be great plottwist and so on.

Oddly, this manga gives off the vibe of a nostalgic romcom where the mc is a classic cleaning husbando and the fmc is any slouch, but I can’t recall a manga where this exact execution had taken place. Because of this, the story is rather heartfelt, and the characters give off a “warm” feeling that you can’t help but like.

Of course, the main attraction of this story should be the fmc, the model, but she pales in comparison to how well-written and realistic the mc is written. Though he has much more ambition than any high schooler I knew, all of his thoughts and ... actions all seem teen-like as if the author knows exactly how a teen operates, which has been so disillusioned in school romcom writing.

I’m pained to say this, but the fmc is made out to be one of those “annoying” characters for the mc to have some good chemistry with; this becomes a bit annoying if you’re not interested in petty actions, but it’s still rather enjoyable.

Plot’s a bit basic, but it’s well-written barring some overdramatized interactions of “throw-away” characters for the fmc’s popularity. Also, the progression and development of the romance between every character is very subtle but well-balanced.

It’s a really wholesome, well-written romcom that revolves around the premise of “only I know your secret nature,” and I’m all here for it. Keep this between me and you, though, I lowkey like the childhood friend character more.

(It’s been two weeks, and it finally hit: this concept is eerily similar to “Gal Cleaning…” hopefully this ends better!

——-
Chapter 21 Update: The story is so much better than I anticipated. Each character becomes really fleshed out, and the romance has so much necessary drama but it maintains the status quo of cuteness. It’s also seriously reminiscent of “Nisekoi,” which I love. (Childhood friend is still best girl; though, the other heroines are making a STRONG case).

People like to hate I see.

I’m not sure how this is rated a 7, and My Dress Up Darling is almost a full number score higher when there’s almost already been more plot progression in just these 4 chapters than that. I guess I’ll begin with what it’s started well with so far. Pacing, character dynamics, humor (ous) moments and situations, light-hearted themes. Where it could be improved next, more comedy, art, and that’s about it.

These are personal observations and it’s still early, but you guys hate life I guess. It’s been genuinely good so far and I hope it maintains this quality throughout.

First of all, I have to admit that romcom manga is not my cup of tea. but this one is incredibly bland and flavorless as if it was written by a chatGPT AI. The plot is low-effort and the characters are cookie cutter as much as possible

Now let's check out the clichés and tropes in this series.

" Boy meets girl just because they have to " checked
" Modern/high school/slice of life/urban setting" checked
" The FeMc is rich and popular, the MC is poor and underdog" checked
" They finally fall in love each other after 500 chapters of relationship development" checked
" potential NTR/Love triangle" checked
" Here, ... your forced and cheap random fan-service. OMG !!!! Her skirt was blown by the wind and lifted up. then the MC saw it with his own two eyes and blushed " checked

All of these are things I've seen about the same number of years of the universe or the galaxy we live in.

The art is standard but the character designs are as bland as the story, especially the male protagonist. He's already very dull character and his design makes it worse while the girls are passable for romcom series but still lame and soulless, that's all I can say.

this series is as empty as air and has no emotion or depth or value other than formulaic, clichés and predictable developments we see in other 5 billion of so-called romantic comedy in the manga industry.

I hope it gets more interesting in the future but I'm not gonna expect anything from this kind of series

Not all romcom manga are bad, but this one is very underwhelming.

Edit : I made it to chapter 8 and it was even stupider and more boring than ever so I decided to drop it.

At this point, I hope it inevitably gets axed.
