Synopsis

Cooking has always been one of Makie Funatsugi's greatest skills. In an attempt to confess his feelings for his crush Sachi Mitsuhara, Makie summons the courage to give her a cookie he made. But this is not even the hardest part of his day, as Makie must constantly pretend that all the horrifying, flesh-eating monsters only he seems to see are not real. While Makie has always been able to see them, the creatures have recently been getting larger and more disturbing.

When a monster ends up trapping Makie and Sachi after school, they surprise each other by acknowledging the being's existence and the otherworldly nest it created. Morphing into one of these beings herself, Makie's ever-hungry upperclassman reveals that she is a watari—monsters that are attracted to Makie's appetizing scent—and makes quick work of the monster. With Sachi proudly vowing to protect him against numerous watari craving for his flesh, Makie finds that his days will never be the same.

Well, this turned out to be quite the surprise. The thing that impressed me the most about this manga is how much emotional weight it has. The premise of a big monster girl dating a small "ordinary" boy is a pretty common trope that is mostly used for trashy ends, but this manga managed to weave many meaningful tales with it, in its relatively short lifespan. It's a story of outsiders trying to adapt, to be the thing that they always wanted to be, to coexist with their surroundings and make the most of it. And its also a story of what it means to ...

I'm not one to read a lot of romance. Having some romance is expected in most stories, there has to be some kind of emotional hook, or why would you care. This is straight up a romantic comedy with a bit of monster action icing. I honestly was expecting far more monster that romance, but that is not what was here. It is definitely NOT Lovecraftian, and not nightmare inducing. It's cute, kinda funny, a little heart warming. Generally a nice tale of a couple of teens who like each other and are awkward about it. One of them happens to be a "monster"
Don't get ...

This manga is about a middle school boy named Makie who has a crush on a high school girl named Sachi. The thing is that Makie has a scent that attracts monsters known as watari and Sachi is one such watari. Furthermore, she finds his scent incredibly appetizing and wants to eat him. However, she’s doing her best to live as a proper human, so rather than eating him she actually hangs around him and protects him from all the other watari that come after him.

The primary focus of this manga is the relationship between Makie and Sachi. There was definitely an interesting concept here ... with how she wants to eat him, but it was really half baked. It’s not really presented as creepy at all. Rather, all it is the standard relationship archetype with one party feeling they don’t deserve to be loved for being different and the other saying that they love them for who they are. I feel like that would work fine if it was only that she was a watari, but I think there should have been more angst from how she feels the urge to eat him. There were some interesting themes that could have been explored there that it just chose not to.

Ultimately, their relationship was pretty generic without anything all that interesting to it. They both have character arcs of a sort, but they’re also pretty shallow. I don’t find either of them all that likable either. As such, it’s pretty hard to get invested in their relationship, and as that’s the core of the manga it’s hard to get invested in the manga as a whole. So, while their relationship does make progress and the ending of the manga is pretty decent in this regard, it still didn’t do much for me.

Beyond that, there are a few overarching plot threads, the biggest of which is about why watari are attracted to Makie. However, none of them are fleshed out properly. This is heavily due to the lack of any world building whatsoever. Very little explanation is provided on what the watari are and very little really felt like it mattered long term. Rather, each encounter seems to be its own things with its own set of rules with essentially nothing carrying over. And it’s not like the watari are supposed to be completely mysterious. Rather, there’s an organization that seems to know quite a lot about of them, but they just seem to share only what’s relevant in the moment. We also learn absolutely nothing about said organization other than that they’re dedicated to managing watari. The cast other than Makie and Sachi are also incredibly underdeveloped, resulting in them being completely unremarkable and unmemorable. So when all is said and done, none of this contributed much to the manga.

There’s a decent amount of comedy in this manga, though not enough for me to consider it a rom-com. I found it aggressively unfunny. The art I also wasn’t all that fond of. The designs and style when it comes to monsters is great, but the humans not so much. Furthermore there’s a clash between the two. Such a clash can work well in some manga, but this manga doesn’t have the right atmosphere and tone for that, so I just thought it looked bad.

tl;dr: A really plain romance manga with a lack of substance to its plot and themes.
