303-goushitsu no Kamisama is what happens when a skilled artist writes a decent story, a story with romance between a human and a god. Additionally, what happens is it gets an official serialization when it was previously just a web comic releasing on Pixiv. Congrats author! I read the webcomic version, so you are getting a review of that.
So the story is very simple. Our MC, being the gloom he is, attracts a lot of attention from ghosts. One day he gets stopped by a goddess on the roadside offering some fortune-telling. Although that is a hoax, as she performs exorcisms, eating the ghosts as

a meal to fill her belly. After that, it's just one interaction between them to the other, thus their romantic adventures kickstart.
The plot, from a purely writing perspective, is fine. I have seen some similar plot points panning out in other things I have read, although this one has by far the best execution out of them all. Additional supernatural plot device worked wonders for the story. Pace, although a bit fast, is still able to maintain the fluency of the narration.
Characters introduced are very good. Our MC, despite being the stereotypical loner on paper, is still very interesting to see, definitely grateful for the author to not make him another blushing machine. Goddess is also a more compelling character than the typical sweet-natured romantic heroine.
Art is beautiful. The simple linework using thin, almost sketch-like lines which was nice to see. Furthermore, you get blessed by a colored page at the start of every chapter. Every page has a new panel structure due to the dynamic nature of paneling, which makes the content much more engaging to read. Character designs are superb, particularly those of female characters.
Trust me and read it. It is a good romance manga.
Thank you for reading the review.
