Synopsis

Average-looking, always speaks-her-mind Hachiya Nanami just wants a boyfriend that likes her for her—preferably the school's popular soccer star, Mizuno. As their best friends start dating, they immediately find that they, too have a lot in common. This is the perfect chance for Hachiya to finally score her dream guy. But does Mizuno feel the same way?

Great Shoujo. Filled to the brim with cringe and overdone tropes and cliché but it works pretty well. Nothing is overbearingly annoying to a degree that actually hurts the reading experience. I have only one but quite huge nitpick and that was Hachi from chapter 25 onwards, more on that below. But there are 5 other great things to talk about for that one thing.

Anyway, in general, every time Hachiya ...

If you're looking for a slice-of-life with an enjoyable, stupid, yet hilarious couple doing couply things, you've come to the right place.

With amazing chemistry and wholesome banter, our two MCs are followed through a coming-of-age shoujo high school romance that makes your heart pound yet simultaneously slow down. I'm at peace reading this manga. It's just so wholesome and fluffy where literally ALL characters are likeable, even the jealous 2nd leads. So healthy, so much communication.

I absolutely LOVE the art style. There's so much love put into the drawings, and there are soooo many unique expressions.

I think if there's anything I dislike it's ...
