Synopsis

Upon entering high school, first-year student Yusa Tachikawa fell in love with a tall, athletic senior on her school's basketball team. Watching the basketball team practice every day with her best friend, Nanami Sugio, Yusa eagerly looks for chances to talk to him.

One day, Kaede Haruta, a quiet guy from Yusa's class, takes shelter from the rain in Yusa's part-time workplace. Looking to keep him entertained in the meantime, she recommends he read her favorite shoujo manga. The following day, while Yusa is talking to the guy she likes, she realizes that Nanami harbors feelings for him too! Worried that Nanami will restrain her feelings for Yusa's sake, she claims that she loves Haruta instead. With determination to maintain their cover, Yusa asks Haruta to pretend as her boyfriend, and even though he is far from her ideal type, she begins to question what she really thinks of Haruta.

Preliminary (18/29 eps)
Don't be fooled by the title, Risouteki Boyfriend (理想的ボーイフレンド lit. "Ideal Boyfriend") or the English name: The World Best Boyfriend, it doesn't give you a miracle-like shoujo story of a girl meets OMG I'M SO DEAD awesomely HANDSOME, and COOL, and POPULAR, and MANLY, and GENIUS, and GOOD AT SPORTS, and other YADA-YADA ikemen that descended from heaven.

It's the story of Yusa, who has her ideal boyfriend type is like the above, and Haruta-kun, a poker face classmate and almost has no presence at all in the class, who is not Yusa's type at all. And again, it's not a story of a normal boy ...

Mixed Feelings
To be honest, I really wish I could rate this manga volume by volume and not as a whole because I really enjoyed the first half.

I initially had fun reading Risouteki Boyfriend. The art style is palatable enough and the story laced with perfect comedic timing is a delight to read. The characters were kind of stereotypical but they're fine, it wasn't like I was looking for something deep. But then the story dragged, and dragged, and dragged.

The truth is, this could've been great with 1-3 volumes but then the author keeps adding new characters and subplots I went from slightly irked to ...
