ahhh, Kubo-San Wont Let Me Be Invisible.. the DEFINITION of diabetes, but in a sweet, cute, and wholesome way. I wont give much away because, to be frank, that sentence alone describes the entire series, so far. You'll have ta read it yourself to find out what I mean, haha. Its heart warming, and Shiraishi is an adorable MC and Kubo is even cuter. Now, to the points that makes this series pretty good.
Shiraishi- At first I was like 'oh great. another socially awkward MC' but within a few chapters, he definitely grew on me and made me realize he wasnt you're typical MC in
...
these kinda mangas. Even though he's 'invisible' (people dont notice his presence at all and literally treat it like they've won the lottery if they even catch a glimpse of our poor MC), there's Kubo, who no matter what, always see's him and pushes him to stand out, and his character growth is a lil slow, but its noticeable and it makes you cheer and root for his growth, as small as it may be. also we can't forget, Shiraishi's mom is adorable as well! She's extremely supportive and probably one of the most grounded 'parent' characters out there. She wants the best for son, but she tries her best not to over step her boundaries. ( i dunno how many times his mom brought me to tears, and I don't even know why)
Kubo- ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! 'nuff said. Jokes aside, she's the one who see's Shiraishi for who he is, and appreciates the efforts he puts himself through. She's always there for our boy helping him push his boundaries and do things he'd never do, with decent to great results, and the faces she makes, makes your heart weep from the cuteness. Her, mainly, and Shiraishi are why this series is pure diabetes. Her antics get great reactions out of Shiraishi, as well.
Sudo was an interesting add in into the group, with the fact he actively tries his best to 'find' Shiraishi and treat him like a best friend and its heart warming that the guy, in some instances, goes out of his way to 'find' Shiraishi and invite him along on hang outs or adventures. It's even more wholesome that if Shiraishi is next to him and can't find him, he apologizes ALOT for it, which at first was annoying, but its because he truly see's him as a friend and doesn't want Shiraishi to feel 'invisible' as well.
Overall thoughts: Super easy read, easy on the eyes, barely any fan service (with them being middle schoolers, I'd be a little troubled if there was any), so if that's not your thing, you'll more than likely enjoy the series. Its a super cute series and makes you wish you were a kid experiencing love for the first time again. The plot is rather basic, with it being a slice of life vibe, but the point of it is, it makes you focus on Shiraishi and Kubo and their 'adventures' and their budding romance that starts to blossom more and more as you go on.
I tried not to spoil anything, but the series is kinda hard to spoil since there's not much of a plot. Give it a read and contract some wholesome diabetes with the rest of us!
I give this series a 9/10 on the diabetes scale

Spy X Family if it was just focused on the marriage, everyday life and wholesomeness, I guess haha. It's a rather adorable series, and it's very wholesome in its own way. it's more of a slice of life and warming series, than a comedy series. yeah, you might chuckle or grin at some of the things, but overall, its super cute. Keep in mind, there's only 33 chapters at this point! If you like wholesome, heartwarming goodness, then I recommend this series
PLOT
lowest score I can give is a 5/10 FOR NOW. There's really not much to say about the plot, and this
...
might be the deal breaker on the series for most.
CHARACTERS
I'd give them a good 8/10. They are both adorable, and as it goes on, you can see Setsuna's very small development (as of chapter 33) she's opening her emotions more.
ART
8/10. it's just cute and well done, what can I say?
OVERALL SCORE: 8/10 Granted there's not much goin on, its super cute, wholesome and a little heartwarming. I thoroughly enjoyed this series as a wholesome, slice of life about a man married to a hitman, and its made me smile quite a few times and hit the "awwww." If you enjoy a slice of life kinda vibe, and wholesome vibes, give it a go! (Don't expect ALOT of action though.)

Do you like delinquent girls? How about Gyarus? Or maybe you like self-aware, respectful MC's? Look no further. If you like these character tropes, look no further because theres 359 of them, and each one is a different type of Gyaru, and the MC isnt a total pos. Lemme explain why:
Kuzuhana-chan the manga, is, very close, to your stereotypical harem, ecchi manga, but with a fun twist to it. in my perspective, yes Saotome is kind of dense, but the first chapter actually gives you a peak into what the series is gonna offer to ya. And I won't be super, super detailed as to
...
spoil anything for ya, haha. But it's got its wholesome side, its ecchi side, and it's got some decent funny moments in it. Even the harem is a rather interesting harem, like yeah you got some of the stereotype tropes, but they do kinda get taken to a different level. The series and the author are very self-aware of the story they are telling. Saotome just trying to be respectful to all the girls in the school, while also being infatuated with Hanako, does make him come across as dense. It does get annoying in some cases, but you gotta remind yourself how the series started. He's a pretty self-aware MC of his situation, tries to best to treat the girls like a human being, and go through development which doesn't necessarily feel forced, but like he actually wants to which is pretty solid in my opinion. He doesn't have any 'small' traumas (all traumas should be treated with respect, let's be real), so there's really none of that 'i was outcasted in middle school, so now i hate people and don't want friends or have a love life!' kinda scenario. he just genuinely wants to be able to work at his parents shop and make a career out of it. Which already kinda puts him up there as one of my favorite romcom MC's. 8/10 MC and plot
Enough of our wonderfully dense, guarded MC. Let's discuss what we all are really reading this for: The Harem. Each girl is unique in their own way, but also not unique in their own way at the same time. you got the classic 'big boobed, air headed bimbo' who actually wants to get good at something and just doesn't wanna be stuck as a Bakedere, the 'good girl but secretly a little slutty' girl who has to deal with the problem she causes, and has to rectify it but also learning 'I did him dirty, so why should he want me for the shit things i did to him? Do i even deserve him?', the childhood best friend, who becomes a decent support character (on accident on her part), You got the 'boys did me dirty, so i hate boys, but this guy has helped me to realize not all guys are the same' (which she's one of my favorite developments in the story) then there's the main interest, Hanako the 'delinquent, strong and gentle girl who wants to be seen as a cute girl instead of just a hardass' The author honestly does a good job making you root for the Hanako over everyone else (though the childhood best friend wouldn't be a bad option for him either.) but what sells me on the series, is how Saotome and Hanako interact with each other. It's almost, in a way, very innocent and wholesome. There're no ulterior motives, just kinda builds over time for their feelings to be realized. 9/10 Harem and Romance Interest
Don't really have to go much into detail, but the artwork is rather cute and can lewd when its called for. 8/10
Now to rate the ecchi. This series is... well. Ecchi, haha. Practically every chapter has a bra or panty shot, and it's done well. Ya got the classic beach scenes, the Onsen scene, and many more! It doesnt hesitate to be lewd when it needs to be and knows when to be wholesome. Some of the scenes do feel a little forced, but it kinda becomes more comedic than 'lewd' striven. And who don't like a ton of lewdness every chapter, right? (what's an ecchi if the ecchi isn't good, right?) 10/10 Lewdness
And, now the final thing, I can manage to pop into my head after all this, is the 'Drama.' Yes, all girls are competing against each other, but they also do manage to become friends. The drama is revolved around the girls, and poor Saotome. They all basically support and help each other try to get with him, except for Hanako (in some ways.) It has your very standard and stereotypical drama, but if you don't get annoyed at that kinda thing, its actually precent decent factor that draws you in and makes you read more. 6/10 Drama.
* I find the series to be fun to be 'shut brain off' material, and good thinking material (to a certain degree, let's be real. its set-in a high school,) but it is very much enjoyable to read. You don't exactly root for anyone else but Hanako x Saotome, the girls in the series are pretty cool, and some are pretty comedic. I tried not to spoil too much for those who wanna read it. I couldn't go TOO deep in Saotome and how good a guy he is, without spoiling alot key moments. So, I hope my review wasn't too bad! Enjoy the read! 9/10 overall

Alright, my first review!
Shikimori Isnt Just a Cutie is very very different with the romance regards. The series follows an awesomely, cute, beautiful female character called Shikimori who is dating a guy named Izumi. This poor MC lmao. People say hes a beta, but in fact, hes the furthest thing from. Izumi is basically cursed to be unlucky, but if shikimori is around, hes spared of that bad luck, but deep down feels horrible that she has to go to these lengths to protect him. He's a very caring, loving, wholesome and sweet character because of these misfortunes (though hes always been like this).
...
He wants to better himself, so if the need ever arises, she can rely on him. He may not be as athletic or strong as she is, but he is an amazing support for her and the entire cast as well. I've seen tons of "its too perfect" "theres no drama!" but in reality, i think this relationship, as perfect as it may be, is very grounded to reality. You dont have misunderstandings every page turn (to a point) because if there is, Izumi and Shikimori discuss the problem and how they are feeling about the problem, address it and mature from it. I seriously loved the Manga and seeing the visuals, is breath taking. Yes, theres alot of school festivals and the stereotypical "slice of life" scenarios, but thats what you get when you mix slice of life and romance. This series is definitely focused on the couple growing up, together, while also trying to mature themselves in their own way.
All-in-All, its a very heart warming, wholesome series. if you dont like slice of life, would not recommend. if you like romance and are getting tired of drawn out drama and misunderstandings, this is a breath of fresh air. Honestly.
