Mairimashita Senpai is without a doubt one of the best series with a realistic and healthy couple dynamic which is very hard to find, I adore how they communicate properly with their relationship with each other and how they grow as a characters. One of the reasons I enjoy the series is that they come together quickly and build their relationship, they also have a high level of trust and respect for one another. The love triangle is not even worth mentioning because they won't even stand a chance.

Even if the chapters are short in comparison to other series, they are enough to tell an ... inspiring story. The communication between the two couples is so strong that you will immediately understand why communication is so important, they openly discuss their problems and how they are feeling right now, which many other relationships have failed to do so, they then work it out together and reassure each other of their love for one another. This behavior prevents them from having concerns in their relationships due to misunderstandings unlike other series.

If you like healthy relationships, I Highly recommend Mairimashita Senpai

A series about the romantic relationship between the female lead and her sempai. That's about it. No really that's it. Stop reading the beginning paragraph there is nothing more about this series. Seriously stop. I'm warning you..... Ok there is a vey small love triangle. But It's barley worth mentioning. But besides that there is nothing.... Ok there is also the classic study so lets not see each other a while drama. But beyond that the story is pretty cookie cutter type stuff.

The mango starts off with the FMC seeing that her desk has been vandalized with a song lyric. So she ends up being ... a desk pen pal for like 5 pages. Then she falls in love with the guy who wrote in it (the desk pen pal) who also is now in love with her. They began dating just like that. We are halfway through Chapter 1.

The series is split into a few arcs. The getting together arc (not just chapter 1 but the first 2 volumes). This is where they sorta test the waters. Honestly this arc kinda sucks dick. Not only do the characters are just speed running. But like the art isn't that good either. At times especially in the middle. Its fantastic but it definitely feels off way too much in the beginning. This sort've makes a resurgence at the end as well. Which is not good, The ending is the final message or note you are leaving people with.

The series is solid for its daily slice of life stuff. Albeit it never really elevates itself either. Its a fun time killer. Lots of cute moments. Some light jealously moments that aren't really annoying but still cute. Overall as far as the romance and couple chemistry goes. Its fun. Its fun to watch the characters interact with each other. Slowly and surely they fall deeper and deeper in love. There relationship becoming more solid as time goes on.

There is a Token love triangle in the beginning. That lasts a whopping 1 chapter. I wouldn't even count it as a love triangle. Not even that there is another character that pines for the female lead but there is so much breathing room given that I wouldn't call it it Love triangle either. I do think this part of the series was actually done well. He never kind of overstepped his boundaries or anything. Understood doing something more would be a bad idea but at the same time wanting to hold her. Very well done.

In the end the series loses itself near the end once again. The art also does become somewhat weak as well. But I don't think there are many issues in the series. I just realized the side characters in the series had a minor presence. There was no milking of the side character romance (mostly).

I have read a lot of shoujo series. I find it hilarious that romance manga aimed at men barely have any sex scenes but romance manga aimed at women have like multiple sex scenes. What's up with that shit. This is some dumbfuck irony going on here.

TLDR: A very enjoyable time killer that never leaves the pond it resides in. 6/10

I guess I'll have to be the first one Not to recommend this.

I liked that unlike most romance manga this pretty much started with their first kiss (rather than ending with it) and it showed their first time too, so it was more realistic in that way, but it was also slow and boring and by the end I didn't care at all.

Somewhere past the halfway point in the story there was this weird, unexplained (maybe forced), part where she started falling out of love with him, for no reason whatsoever, then after not seeing each other for 3 weeks she says stupid stuff like ... "being with you is exhausting" which resulted in them taking a break for 2-3 months.
I guess this was the author's lame attempt at adding a little drama to keep it interesting but instead this is where I stopped caring about her, because she turned into a stupid irrational character. Then in collage she puts everything he's ever given her in a box and hands it back to him, if that is not a clear break-up sign what is ? but no, she was just in pain (?) and wanted him to hold it for her (WTF?) Maybe I just don't get it, but this isn't my first or even 50th romance story...

Through some miracle I managed to read it until the end, but I regret it, nothing interesting ever happened.
There could have been some comedy, we got none.
There could have been more couples to make it more interesting, we got none.
Some interesting characters ? nope, none, not even the MC's.

It also introduces random relatives that we don't even get to learn their name and are pretty much gone the next page, while this is realistic there is a reason most stories don't do this.

This story also completely ignores the importance of calling each other by your first names (she never calls him by it).

The 2nd half also had so much repetitive sappy stuff, just saying how much she loves him and how thankful she is ... bla, bla bla, a million times over and in a million different ways, all meaningless at this point since it's not saying anything new.

So yeah, this story is realistic because just like real life couples, they are boring so nobody cares.

Oh and the artwork was also subpar.
