Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie.

This manga is very simple in its dynamic. Shikimori-san is a girlfriend that is both cool and cute, protecting her unlucky boyfriend (Izumi Yuu). This was super wholesome and cute all thought out and you'll find yourself loving every character, even more, every chapter, especially Shikimori-san. It accomplishes its goal as a slice of life rom-com, not needing heavy drama to push a narrative.

Read this if you want to see the many sides of Shikimori-san, not just the cool and cute sides! Read this to discover the many ways of how Shikimori isn't just a cutie.

Story: 7 - Your typical ... high school slice of life but doesn't feature your typical female or male protagonists. Takes a different approach from your typical female lead.
Art: 9 - Lots of detail is put into Shikimori and during the "cool" moments, it looks amazing. The detail on the hair of the characters is really well done as well. Each character has their own little quirk that makes them memorable (in terms of design)
Character: - Shikimori and all the other characters are written really well, they stay true to their personalities but grow stronger during some moments (mostly due to Shikimori-san).
Enjoyment: 10 - I binged these 130+ chapters in like 3 days. Super wholesome and found myself loving Shikimori and their world more and more. Extremely addicting slice of life romance.
Overall: 10 - Can't go wrong with this setup, I understand that it can get repetitive but that's the point. W Shikimori. W Girlfriend. W Manga.

Shikimori-san best girl.
