6.4/10
You know the drill, it’s yet another “popular girl/gyaru falls in love with an outcast” trope, and it uses every cliche in the book. As for this manga specifically, the female lead is perfectly fine — when is she not — but the male lead is pretty insufferable.
It’s like the author was forced to make him as an outcast or loser with difficulties, but he couldn’t think of an actual way without making him a creep. Instead, he’s made out to be a forced pity party due to his family “difficulties.” Except, every problem is due to him because he’s being selfish and weird…
Seriously,
...
he makes out his issue to be a toxic environment, but every single family member is nothing short of wholesome/supporting, but the mc acts diminishingly by being like “woe is me, my family totally hates me!”
Besides for the characters being a bit generic and forced, the plot follows the same old script of small and gradual interactions of wholesome, cute bits. What I do appreciate, though, is that the mc and fmc are actually portrayed to have good chemistry/conversations, which adds an authenticity to their relationship.
However, that does not excuse this manga from such a trainwreck of a forced plot point by the mc. If the mc wasn’t such a mess, then this manga had potential to be a decent read despite its cliches and generics.
