A very standard ecchi teen romance, with sadly, as often happens, too much focus on the fanservice and too little on the romance.
It has potential to go somewhere, but gets lost in too repetitive fanservice jokes to really suggest this to any reader who doesn't come for the fanservice.
So if you just want very thicc girls in various undressing and fanservicing situations, this is one for you to try. For everyone else, I suggest you look elsewhere. The rom and com in this manga are ab-so-lu-te-ly not in balance.
For lovers of boobs and ass, this is a whole five course dinner to
...
eat, because I think Amano's ass, hips, boobs, any curve of her probably holds 50% of this manga's panel worth. I'll give it to the mangaka, the female bodies are drawn deliciously every time.
For everyone else, this manga's biggest problem lies in the fact that for the first, roughly said, 150ish chapters, nothing happens. It's just chapter after chapter of the MC being the nerdy studyboi and Amano interacting with him and, depending on the situation, various forms of tits or ass happen. And when I say repetitive, I mean REALLY repetitive. I think the first 60 chapters or so are literally the same fanservicy physical joke, just shifted in context. If you're not there to just watch boobs, it gets really tiring.
Couple that with barely shifting character arcs and it's just...kind of a fanservicy mess.
However, this wouldn't be a review if I wouldn't also point out the better points. Later on, sadly very later on, the mangaka shows that he actually is quite capable to let two people slowly try to understand their blooming feelings with all the cringy teenagy emotions that inevitably come with it.
Unfortunately for the story and the reader, it is just so, so late in the road that is this quite chapter packed story that it feels like a push to put out the fire (of perhaps complaints/loss of interest from readers during release) than an actual natural progression. Had they cut off like, 100 chapters from the beginning, and give us another 100 after the ending, where the pace picked up and flowed way better, this could honestly been a very enjoyable ecchi romcom.
Now,we are kind of left with a repeating joke that realizes it has potential too late and therefor works itself out into yes, an ending that is ok, but leaves the reader with a feeling that that is where the real romcom train of the story evolves and it finally gets some interesting evolutions. Right as you actually get somewhat invested and want more, you already find yourself at the epilogue and are left feeling robbed.
Amano stays cute, though. Gotta love me some tomboys.
