I really liked this manga (apart from the ending; it didn't really resolve enything and left it in the air). You don't see much ace representation in manga, if any at all (the only thing that comes to mind is The Eminence in Shadow and I can't stop laughing though that guy's more of just based asf) so this grappled at the problem of a relationship where one partner doesn't really have a sex drive and did it pretty nicely. But again, it didn't really resolve it, just left it ambiguous.
I don't know if the author didn't want or didn't know how to write a
...
proper explanation for Kyouichi not touching his girlfriend (I'll ignore the "I didn't want things to change" comment; it seemed like a throwaway line because the author didn't know how to write anything better) but the manga would be at least a high 9 if they actually explained that Kyouichi is ace or doesn't have a sex drive.
The story is cute, a pretty basic goofy couple comedy, the only thing that dissapoints is the ending. Leaving everything ambiguous left me unsatisfied, like I wasted time on it and I really don't want to think like that. Overall I give it a 7/10 but it would've skyrocketed if it actually took its premise seriously.
The characters are aight, nothing special and again, Kyouichi could've been very interesting if he were actually ace but he presumably isn't so eh. 6/10
The art is the only thing that doesn't dissapoint. It's cute but also more realistic. None of the characters are super slender or hot, they're normal people and it fits. 8/10
This manga is the the definition of mixed feelings. For every great joke or bit there's an "ehhh" when nothing actually happens later. And when you reach the end it's not even a really bad ending. You can't even get angry, because it's not bad. I don't know if I'd recommend it but also don't want to be too negative.
I like it for the most part, if you read it, make your own opinion, I can't make a concrete statement. But also don't let this review push you away. Every work deserves a chance.
