Short, sweet, and conclusive.
What I like most about this manga is that it doesn’t misuse its tropes. The premise of tall girl likes short boy is actually built upon, rather than remaining a quirk to attract readers.
The “conflict” of the story is largely “will they or won’t they,” like most romance stories. Fortunately, this isn’t overdone and obnoxiously drawn out. The short chapter and page count make this manga speedy, but lengthy enough to enjoy what the narrative has to offer. The simplicity and straightforwardness of the characters is the most rewarding part of this reading experience.
This manga does have some downsides, though.
...
The speediness proves to be a double-edged sword, in my view. While it affords the series an appreciable brevity, more is left to be desired. If the conflict was “will they or wont they,” the resolution leaves us with “now what?”
Ultimately, “Ookii Kouhai wa Suki desu ka?” provides a good reading experience. The characters are simple, but not one-dimensional. The story is sweet, but to the point.
If you’re looking for a short romance story that goes somewhere, you’ll probably like this manga.
