I’ve been both Seto and Anjou in different relationships across my life. When I was younger it was so difficult to share how I felt romantically but I yearned like Seto. As I got older, I learned how freeing it was so be open with your emotions and affections like Anjou. To really show someone you care about them deeply. Saying cute shit, saying corny things. Making your partner feel wanted and overcoming any mental obstacles that hinder you from doing that.

For me, this story is about that.
It might be silly that a rom com manga helped me fully make this connection, but it’s ... been an extremely valuable experience.


I really didn’t know what I was in for when I started.
As many have shared, the beginning is a bit slow. Some lines might be recycled here and there. Seto for the first couple dozen chapters might be hard to deal with but…you will be rewarded handsomely for your patience.

The jokes hit hard. The feelings are relatable. The art and reacts are amazing. And honestly, the community of people who like this manga are hilarious. No matter what shit illegal website I use to read it everyone in the comments make my hysterical.

You may have a different experience, but the story is definitely worth a read!

Overall: 8/10

The start of this manga is rough, extremely rough. They made the male MC the most pathetic "thing" imaginable. I almost dropped it right off the bat. But I kept reading because I liked the art and the female MC wasn't a bully like a certain other manga.

Characters 10/10: The thing about having a pathetic male MC is that there is tons of room for growth, and the male MC develops phenomenally. The male MC went from being pathetic to and actually confident person. He also isn't the only character that developed well throughout the series. The thing that separates this manga from ... the rest of the teasing genre is the character development. All the characters are fully fleshed out and change throughout the story in ways that are understandable.

Art 8/10: The art is a bit jarring at first, but I really like it. It's not as good as something like berserk (kinda hard to beat that art though) but it's also very far from being bad.

Story: 9/10: More progress in 100 chapters than a different manga had in 300+ chapters, to say the least. The story is pretty good, though.

Overall, if you can get past the first 20 ish chapters where the male MC is a horrible excuse for an MC then you'll enjoy this manga. It's not for everyone but it's pretty good.

The long story short is that this manga (so far) probably shouldn't be read for the plot.

The art is nice and eroge, the chapter per chapter story is usually pretty formulaic, a few side characters actually have some interesting development, but the main two are completely surface level stand in's for the reader which does not make for compelling story. Honestly, if they had at least one or two chapters that broke the main characters formula every now and then, this would be one of my favorite eroge manga, and there does seem to be small moments where it could use expectations to it's ... advantage, but 42 chapters in, and there's only been the most miniscule glimpse of that happening. There is a b storyline with side characters however that actually seems to have an idea it's exploring, and when put on the background of the main 2 sexually charged and repressed characters, it shines so brightly, and it's done in only a few chapters.

This formula is the same every time.
protag:"Hi obvious love interest, x, y, or z is happening" love interest:*does something vaguely or deliberately sexual or even just physical to protag* protag:"WOAAAaAAAaaAHHHH!!! LOVE INTEREST!? WHAT ARE YOU DOOOIIIIINNNG?!?" love interest:"we should be a couple.............. jk :P" protag:"gorsh, stop messing with me, I know I suck"

There's not even really any background or motivation for these two to act the way they do. I mean, sure, the art is cute, but the speech bubbles practically have no point. I could not read them, write what they're basically saying down, then read them and have at least 80% accuracy. But the author has shown that they can do a good character driven story in this very manga, so I'm holding out in case that this will play out with some kind, any kind, just a sign of character development, but I'm not so hopeful.

If that's what you're looking for too, go read or watch 3d girl, it's basically this premise, but characters have depth.
