Synopsis

High school student Yuuto Sakuraba does not conceal his hardcore otaku nature or the fact that he is heavily into moe drawings from an artist named Sayane. At school, he is seated next to Kotone Kashiwagi, the school idol who shows distaste toward otaku culture. One day, however, Yuuto stumbles upon Kotone in the otaku store he works at, discovering that Kotone is also an otaku!

This chance encounter brings the two unlikely friends closer, Yuuto promising that he will keep her passion a secret. They soon have secret meetings to discuss their common interests. But what Yuuto doesn't know is that Kotone Kashiwagi is, in fact, the moe artist Sayane!

I couldn't wait to finish this whole series just so I can rant on the single thing that dragged this series down from a 9 to a 7.

First, the story is simple enough. Pure luck favors the MC when an accident happens that lets him make a connection to the talented, beautiful, and kind FMC. From there, they slowly build their relationship from friends to something more. There are also two side couple stories which really aren't that interesting.

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (23/84 eps)
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 ...

Preliminary (Unknown/84 eps)
This manga is a waste of time. The art is very well done, but that is the only thing it has going for it. Instead of breaking the review down into several full, developed paragraphs, I'm just going to give each section a couple of sentences, because there really is nothing to review in this.

The story is non-existent. It advances a little bit in the first few chapters, then the main characters make absolutely no progress the final 67 or so chapters. Two of the side character's story progress, but I'm not going to give it credit when the main story arc does nothing ...
