7/10 if you're into lighter rom-coms; 6/10 if you get tired of repetitiveness, rigid 1D characterizations, and forced circumstances.
In all honesty, I enjoyed the first few chapters quite a bit. By chapter 15, though, I'm starting to get exhausted by Noa's hyper every-fucking-thing. I know it's her 'core' personality feature, but I wish the author introduced something extra or at least sometimes toned it down a bit.
MC's ruthless deadpan reactions are entertaining - he manages to escape being over-the-top bland/nonchalant. And, gotta give the author that, the duo's banter CAN be quite funny from time to time.
Unfortunately, the characters are way too one-dimensional to
...
keep the series truly entertaining/fresh in its current slice-of-life format.
Also, this one's a personal pet peeve of mine, despite it being prevalent in the genre:
Once again, the 'adult' FMC a) has the design of a teenager and b) is, of course, 'pure' despite having a few exes and soon turning 28.
Meh. I pretty much dislike infantilizing adults in a supposedly more 'mature' office setting. Sadly, this seems to be the standard for most non-josei works.
However, if you're in for a light read? You'll probably enjoy these daily snapshots of the unlikely friendship between a clingy, emotionally explosive FMC and a detached, candid MC. Personally, it's starting to wear on me.
