This is definetly another amazing manga! THis one didnt have much of a twist but it was still extraordinoryily great!

This manga is really simple. There's no drama, no cliches, no harems, no incompetent protagonist. Don't expect anything crazy going down. This is a nice easygoing romance, so if you're looking for a simple cute romance comedy, this is perfect.

Other than that, the comedy is funny. The main characters make a nice couple. Their love is cute and you want to cheer them on. Most of the characters lack personality, i don't even remember most of them. Even the main characters are underdeveloped. There's no back-story, the characters for the most part don't change throughout the series, and it skips large chunks of time. This ... manga goes over the highlights of their relationship, not every single day of their lives like in other romances.

The last complaint i got is it's really short. I would have loved it if this was 20 chapter longer. My previous complaint's are a result of this. I suppose it's simplicity is one of this manga's strength's. If you're looking for a cute uplifting romance about normal people, this is a great read.

This is Ikeyamada Go's first work and it really shows on the drawings and storytelling aspect of this manga. The best example I can give of this are the 4th and 5th chapters. The panels are super confusing to understand and the author couldn't come up with a clever way to end the 5th chapter. However, I absolutely adored the 3rd and 19th chapters.

However those little hiccups didn't influence much my overall experience. There's plenty of other reasons why I scored this manga so low.

I love soccer/football, I live romance and like high school stories. I'm almost 30 but these themes are still enjoyable ... to me. The little stories from each chapter got repetitive real fast and had even the "funny stuff" didn't make me laugh much. Neither of the main characters had any sort of development either. But what I absolutely hated about Get Love!! was the glorification of sexual violence and toxic relationships.

In Get Love!!, it's perfectly normal and acceptable for any male individual to force himself onto a girl, regardless of consent. It's also perfectly normal to pressure and prevent the girl you're in a relationship with, to wear whatever she wants in public because god forbid if she looks cute in public. It's also perfectly acceptable to bet someone else's body in case you lose whatever bet it is and to punish people who beat rapists up, succeeding in the prevention of a rape occurring.

There's so many examples and instances where sexism, sexual violence sexual harassment and abuse were portrayed in a way that romanticizes these disgusting and inexcusable behavious. And the mangaka acknowledged that little elementary school kids read this manga and that didn't make her stop and use this manga to give the example to little boys and little girls to be respectful and respected human beings when they grow up.


I honestly cannot recommend this to anyone. I can stomach and enjoy violent mangas with gore and other shocking subjects but to have a "lovey-dovey" story promoting toxic behaviours is just something I cannot praise.

It's a 5/10 for me.
