More Like a 9.5 but basically this just slaps. Only reason it aint a 10 is cause nothing is perfect, and the one vital mistake this manga has is that it only has 18 chapters. Most wholesome Manga you've ever seen in your life basically so if you like a wholesome romance, you need this in your life.
That really it but I have to write more to submit this review, but there aint much more to say cause it just is amazing. Period. My current favorite romance manga for sure I'd say. Im a sucker for wholesome stuff. SO, all in all, you need ... to read this. The end.

The old me says that "things that end abruptly mustn't be good!". Oh, how young I am. I read this as the translator team reaches the 10th chapter and while getting excited after such a long time stalling myself for not picking any drama story because of the white album devastate I had back in 2017, oh boy how low my instinct about this now. Asahina Wakaba is a beautiful yet shy girl in the corner of the class. She got bullied a lot for not having any friends by her classmates to confess a fake confession that she's in love with the most "hated" ... guy in the school (well, not really but a body-shaming statement coming from some people from the outside of a bubble).

The story itself is one of hella trainwreck when the author really put everything in it but somehow it really left a great impact on me as a reader that actually avoided drama story. The flow of the story itself is very good and their ups and downs make the composition a perfect one.

The art is just like your typical good art and something that you can expect from a well-drawn school manga. Still, not leaving any impact whatsoever just a simple good art hence I wrote the art style is only at 8.

The characters, ah I really hate the unreasonable bad characters in here so the numbers must be higher huh? But no, I will still give it a 7 because of my hatred towards a certain character in the series and even, how hypocritical Wakaba is. I'm not blaming her for it though, bullying itself are a pretty sinful thing to do and the result is the hypocrite Wakaba herself and the bad guy's personality really put me on my edge too

At the end of the day, I truly enjoyed my time here. I really recommend it for people to have a little journey by reading this series.

Rather confusing and seems aimlessly for the most part.

The author seemingly couldn't decide where the story was heading and crammed it all together hoping it would mix, but many of the plot points introduced have lackluster progression or are presented in such a luke warm way without much care for the drama it's supposed to introduce.

Is it a revenge against bully story? Is it a unlikely romance story? Is it a family drama? It's many plots mixed together that weren't blended enough to leave impact.

Wakaba is so boring, they make her so meek (so that you feel bad for her) to the point where she ... doesn't really do anything...like, at all. Even during scenes where it would've really fit for her to be courageous and finally speak her mind. For majority of the manga the other characters talk for her, it isn't until the very last chapter where she seemed to have changed. At the very end, where we the audience won't be able to see her anymore. She wasn't really meek in a Moe sense either (Like Bocchi from Bocchi the Rock) she was just really boring.

Haruto is, um, he's certainly there. I don't have much to say about him. Despite him and Wakaba having multiple scenes together he doesn't really shine in them. I mean he's friendly and cheerful and...uh...oh he's an otaku too. And he has a super tragic backstory. That's something.

Yeah I didn't like the main couple very much.

Perhaps that contributed as to why I didn't enjoy this, but despite my grievance with the characters (the side ones barely have any screentime) I can at the very least say the art is good and it's a neat concept that I wish had some better presentation.
