I hate how underrated this is but at the same time, I like being one of the few that know of this gem.

First and probably the last review so take my words with a grain of salt and beware of spoilers cause I don't know what i'm typing half the time. Also, to save any readers time, if ur looking for a drama, romance about a pure/ emotionless guy or if you're looking for a romance outside of all those Highschool lovefests, I recommend giving this manga a try. If you aren't, scurry off.

Story: 9
I don't think the synopsis does a very good job of ... describing the manga though I doubt I could do better.
Essentially, Sekine-Kun no koi is about a man who seems perfect on the outside but is a mess within due to his past. we follow him as he falls in love for the first time but his pure character becomes an obstacle. don't want to spoil too much but the story really had me absorbed and empathizing with Sekine's character even though others may not like him as much.

Art: 7
Not the best but not the worst. I believe the artwork really fits in when establishing the mood and characters. I would give it a higher rating but when viewed objectively, the art is lacking in comparison with other more mature themed titles.

Characters: 8
not many characters in this manga. If you like MCs that don't understand emotions/ themselves you'll love Sekine. in my opinion, the characters are well rounded, likable and most importantly, understandable..well to an extent. the "Sekine obsession" from the females around him is a bit absurd I have to admit.

Enjoyment: 10
I loved it.

Overall: 10
Technically should have a 9 or 8 as an overall but I'm not a person that likes to go too technical into these things. what I value the most from the manga is enjoyment and clearly, enjoyded i did :)
Though in all seriousness if you're not looking for a slowish paced drama romance from an eccentric dudes perspective I can't recommend. This review is heavily opinion based and my ratings are skewed due to my love of these kinds of manga.
