Question: How do you stop a charging tsundere?

Answer: You shout, "You're super cute and I like you just the way you are!" And then you kiss them.

Two Japanese students, Endo and Kobayashi, have decided that the villainess of an otome game is just a big, misunderstood tsundere, and are going to have fun doing 'sports-like play-by-play commentary' to a Let's Play of said game. To their surprise and confusion, the prince of the game can hear them.

Armed with foreknowledge of the game's mechanics, Endo and Kobayashi teach the prince the art of managing a Tsundere, and together they plot to see if there's a way ... to achieve a happy end for all the characters involved.

E&K is mostly a cute romance, with lots of fluffy scenes between the Prince and Villainess, but also some nice parts between the Heroine and another guy, and Endo and Kobayashi themselves. It's also where I derived the most amusement and entertainment from this story; watching Liselotte being forced into a flustered sputter never stops being enjoyable, as does the prince's reactions to a world and tropes that he doesn't understand.

As the story goes on, it evolves from being more than just comedy fluff to also a wonderful healing drama of characters, both 'real' and fictional, learning to accept love into their lives and be with others in a healthy way.

If you get a kick out of romance stories, give this one a shot!

I'm not typically the person to write a review of a series but since it seems like there aren't too many others I figured I'd add my two cents to hopefully convince you to give this a quick read.

Story: 8/10

Although the story is not life changing it is certainly unique and has a fun "meta" feel to it as it sees two characters comment on tropes of manga like what it means to be a tsundere while guiding along characters in a video game to the happiest ending possible. The story has depth to it across the video game world as well as in the ... "real life" world too, it's still young in its run, but from what I've seen so far I think it is really creative and there are a lot of interesting/compelling elements that make me excited for whatever comes next. It's definitely a bit of a "fluff" fest so if you like romance it definitely gives good vibes.

Characters: 8/10

Personally I think the characters are entertaining, they all have their unique charm, although some fall into different tropes. They all put a smile on my face and its nice to see their development throughout the course of the story so far.

Art: 8/10

I'm no artist so I can't comment too much, but the art is really solid, not the most breath-taking panels I have ever seen but nothing to sneeze at either.

Enjoyment: 9/10

The story is cute, fun, and as a romance fan I have really enjoyed what I have read so far. The characters have good development and it seems like things have been really well paced so far, I'm eager to learn more and read more as I really had fun and laughed out loud quite a bit while reading.

Overall: 8/10

I honestly think this manga is very good, I'm disappointed to see that it currently has a lower score because I think for what it is (a light fun romance story) it does everything really well. This story might not change your life but it is certainly bound to put a few smiles on your face and make you laugh.

I've seen many tsunderes but Lise is one of the best tsundere villainess'. Her villainess titles comes from her tsundere behavior and that makes the story even better! The two commentators have their own story as well which I really liked. I like that every character in and outside the story play a role in some way. Other than that, the comedy is one of the best. Its pure and just funny. Although I like all characters, Lise is the best part of the story tbh. This isnt the typical villainess manga, its different and has a plot that isnt repetitive.
