Synopsis

Suga Kimio finds himself hiding in the girls locker room, unable to move or escape the situation as the girls in his school crowd in. Although he originally had no ulterior motives, he found himself panicking as he heard the girls coming in and hid in a locker. Komine Nozomi, one of the shy girls in his class finds him, but surprisingly covers for him. Perplexed but glad, Kimio goes home.

Later that night, he gets a text from Nozomi who happens to live across the way on the same floor of the complex they both live in. She blackmails him into agreeing to show each other's bodies when she texts him. Kimio has to abide by Nozomi's insane demands or risk ruining his school life so they both start their little peep show through each others windows...

If you're looking for a fun and wholesome ecchi to enjoy, Nozo X Kimi is a good recommendation. The story is fun and the same as nozoki ana, which makes sense since it is a spinoff story lol. The characters and their growth are great although issues with the MC being somewhat of a Shinji like character who doubts everything around himself is a prevalent issue within this manga. Overall I think this manga is a great read for those who want a wacky romance story where it's not super mature and deep but it has depth to itself that it can be taken seriously ...

My first manga was Nozoki Ana, I discovered it about 2 years ago and I think is the reason I started reading manga.

Those days I've had been looking for something similar and find out that the author had write other mangas.

I have to say that the artstyle is awesome and the story is pretty good, in the middle it get's a little boring but overall I think it's worth reading.

Usually the protagonist from this kind of stories get me angry because of how dumb they are and not taking a move, but this one was decent, is a liniar story with littles modifications.

I would ...

Mixed Feelings

This will be my 3rd manga review.

After just having finished the final chapter of Nozo x Kimi, I honestly wonder why this has been so highly regarded as it is. I've read manga with stronger emphasis on fanservice, but I honestly read this expecting more from the author of Nozoki Ana who brilliantly took the idea to voyeurism and combined it the psychology of peeping into the true selves we hide from society.

Story 4:
The story starts out similarly to that of Nozoki Ana. Our heroine Nozomi encounters the male protagonist Kimio in the girls locker room by accident. Threatening to expose him to the teachers, ... she makes him form a pack of "showing ourselves" out of each other's windows of the apartment building they both share. In Nozoki Ana, this worked well since both parties were expected to take part in the act which revealed more of the personalities and complexities of both characters. But here, only Nozoki does the actual showing and it gets old very quickly. The story becomes very predictable from the first volume onward.

Art 9:
Thankfully the quality of the artwork has not diminished since Honna Wakou's last work. The angles and proportions of the characters are all very well done as well as unique. Unfortunately this is most likely the main reason why readers rate this so highly. I can't say the same for the content.

Character 3:
Kimio shows little resistance to this "showing ourselves" arrangement and makes almost no effort to change it, showing the same shocked reaction for nearly 2 years. During that time, the duo end up extending that routine to assisting other members of their school with various problems like an unofficial club. Yet, outside of a few exceptions, those characters never play any meaningful parts in future chapters (provided they even show up again at all). Nozomi comes off as being unrealistically insightful of other people's feelings despite claiming to not properly understand her own. Kimio similarly shows a frustrating level of ignorance that challenges most high school romances I've seen (and I've seen many). I expected more insight into the individual characters' backstories as that characterization tied into the theme of 'showing your true self' in the mangaka's last work, Nozoki Ana. No such luck here. Main characters are made oblivious to their own feeling for the sake of extending the story until it just ends. I can't help thinking that stifling the subject matter for the sake of serialization in Shonen Jump ended up limiting the creator's options too much. Instead, the manga favors the literal side of exhibitionism more so than the psychological side, appealing more to young horney teenagers.

Enjoyment 4:
There were many times I wished to drop this manga. I only continued to the end expecting there to be deeper backstory to Nozomi, or perhaps a time skip to college life with less excuses for their high school-level ignorance. If not for Nozoki Ana and the stellar artwork, I might never have picked this up at all. I only consider it decent for those who want to look at high school tits or else a good example of a mediocre romance carried by great art.

Overall 5:
This manga has in no way ruined my expectations for the mangaka's future works. However, it has reminded me that I am too old to be reading Shonen Jump romances that primarily focus on exploiting young men suffering from puberty. If it was more comedy focused, I might make an exception. But this was not funny and certainly not the best romance I've ever read. For those looking for similar manga with more mature elements and dramatic tension, please give Nozoki Ana a try first. Or better still, Nana to Kaoru, which also takes place in a high school setting, but explores the world of BDSM. If fetishes aren't your thing, try Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru.
