To be honest this is my second time reading this manga this is because the first time i read this back then, it was not yet finished i guess it only have 50-60 chapters available at that time, well putting that aside this aside i finished re-reading this manga(completely) in just two days(The same day and definite time while writing this review), yeah it still took me a lot of time but that's because i still don't want yet to finished reading this manga, yeah that's why it took me two days, but what they say all things must come to an end to ... open a new path for a good start, anyway this is my full review for this manga.

Like almost romance/comedy/slice of life it started with a cliche which is classic and popular for a lot of manga readers out there who are also fan of this Genre. The story revolves around two people a boy(the MC) and a girl(Kashiwagi Kotone The MOE Waifu!!!), a boy who has a little crush(one sided mind you. which is pretty cliche) to his neighbor(the main heroine Kashiwagi Kotone) who eventually became his friend, then they're story start from there.

To be honest the MC is kind of lame(well he really is) which is extremely cliche in romance/comedy genre but with a twist there's no harem tag for this manga but the MC has that kind of attitude just like those normal harem protagonists(yep almost all of them are KY), putting that aside i'm not against about it,in fact it's the opposite i kinda like it(Actually a mixed feeling i like, because it mostly portrays us guys on how afraid we are to make a move to someone we like cause we don't want to ruin what we have to that person and at the same time i dislike it as a reader because i really want the MC to man up and confess his feelings already), yeah yeah most of you would drop it halfway or not gonna pass this one but hey give it a shot i assure you you'll find it cute(MOE is real in this mind you!)

Now you decided to read it, here's a few tips of advice be patient have something sweet beside you( a hot chocolate would work at least for me :D )
cause this will really a heck of a ride, you will have a lot of FacePalm but hey you already read it, might as well finished it. It's worth it guys. The ending is definitely worth so read it. By any chance you've already read a manga similar to I's and Ichigo 100% then this manga will be a treat for you.

Lastly i just want to say that i really enjoyed and love this manga it was one of those manga that i keep looking forward to read the next chapter back then when it was still not completed and now that it's completed i feel kind of sad cause i became really attached to this manga and i'll definitely gonna re-read this again in the near future for Kashiwagi Kotone(My Waifu!!! She's really a Perfect definition of MOE).

PS: Apparently there's a sequel for this manga, Which is titled Tonari no Kashiwagi-san After Days(I still haven't read it yet since it was still not published but i saw a leak already, so yeah waiting for that sequel to come up). Oh boi i feel energized again!!!!(by the time i'm writing this review it's already 4:45 AM). So i guess this is the fresh start, The sequel("Rejoicing").
Well that's all for me, Hope this review helps you to decide whether to read this manga or not and hopefully you do read it, in fact just read it. Treat yourself. well that's all i'm signing out!!! :D

Currently only read up to 23 chapters but I'll consider reading more in the future and post about it here..

Story is pretty un-original with the whole secret otaku meets a otaku and blah blah blah fall in love. The art isn't amazing nor is it bad it's pretty much common for manga and it's really nothing special. Characters are the thing I most hate about it. The main male is an absolute idiot and is one of the "weakest/beta" characters I've ever seen,. y'know when it comes to a confession and the girl says "I've never really thought of it that way, I don't even ... see him as a man let alone someone I like like that.." you'd get pretty hurt by that right? But noooo.. He just strolls on up and declares a bunch of non-sense and it's kinda stupid to see him make a fool of himself and it just looks completely unrealistic..

I might update this in the future, probs not..

Okay while the art isn't terrible everything else about this story is. The story is boring with the only real tension coming from the hidden identity. Everything else is really slice of life but with no possible twists this story becomes very bland. The love aspect makes me want to gag. The only character that the story even focuses on past the superficial is Kashiwagi and only enough to know that she loves to draw, is socially awkward, and is afraid of being unpopular (despite fact she is only shown to have two friends). The main thing that upsets me is the protagonist. The protagonist ... should be one of the most interesting and developed character in any work. This protagonist is a sycophantic, apologetic, loser. It seems his only purpose is to pine after and support Kashiwagi. In real life this guy would be considered creepy in any format. Either way I read this on a whim because the synopsis seemed interesting but I was wrong. Don't waste your time.
