A high school setting, a sudden confession from a persistent guy, and the whirlwind of young love that ensues. This sounds like every cliche shoujo premise you've ever read, doesn't it? But while the plot is simplistic and predictable, My Hero actually succeeds in making the same old cliches a little more palatable because it does something very different.

The male lead in this manga is not popular, he's not a bishounen—he doesn't fit any of the usual cliches. Instead, he's the dorky, earnest, hardworking guy that isn't very popular. In fact, he's the type of character you'd see in a love triangle in one of ... the more popular shoujos—and he would be the one that loses. This type of character always loses.

In regards to the heroine, she's not particularly exceptional herself, but she's does give the male lead a chance without dismissing him. Granted she's a little taken aback by his enthusiasm, and sometimes a little on the tsundere side, she's also very earnest herself. As a couple, they have good chemistry and are easy to root for.

Since it's such a short story, the plot itself basically follows the two of them. There's no exceptional line of character development—there's not much time for it, although it does exist. Sometimes the skipping in the timeline can be a little confusing, but considering the material, it's not too hard to catch up and understand what's going on.

The art is fairly average by my assessments. The lines are clean, however, and there's no exceptionally wonky body proportions. Considering that the male lead is fairly plain, this isn't going to be an "eye candy" manga.

My Hero proves a refreshing read as something that carries none of the unnecessarily angsty obstacles. It's straightforward, it's fluffy, light, and enjoyable. Don't expect anything too deep going in and you won't be disappointed.

My Hero. Sounds like a cliche title doesn't it? I'm not sure how I stumbled upon this, but I'm glad I did! I'm just basing this on the 7 chapters I read, because I could not for the life of me find the LAST chapter. Brb, gonna go cry.

Anyways,

Story;
+9/10
It was incredibly light-hearted and just plain hilarious some parts! I actually chuckled a few times, too. I don't think I've laughed this much at a manga before. This story had a good feel to it, and I think the author did a fantabulous job with it!

Art;
+9/10
I really liked how this time, this guy is not ... the bishounen like most of the guys in mangas usually are. Though he's not a bishie, he's just adorable and I actually envy the main girl T___T . The art was to my liking, yes!

Character;
+10/10
I loved the characters in this! I especially liked the male lead's grandpa, haha too funny! (Gotta read it to laugh, hehe.) The girl was nice, and the male was just greeeat! I should stop fangirling over him now should'nt I?

Enjoyment;
+10/10
I really enjoyed this manga! I haven't read a good one in a long time and I think this manga really deserves more credit than it should

I hope you enjoy reading this manga as much as I did!

My Hero is a short 2 volume story about a forward boy and a somewhat shy girl. The boy confesses but she rejects but slowly but surely falls in love with the boy who doesn't stop.

This series would've been great if it only was a one shot tbh. The chapters were basically the author using tropes like, sleeping or not really understanding what someone says so the other person doesn't understand they confessed. Its a bad trope and does bring the series but its also short so its not like a major effect.

The love rival addition though. That was pointless. like literally just random extension ... put in. At least the author used a previous character rather than create new one so he had minimal depth.

Cute moments alone however isn't enough for me to recommend this series. but it is good enough for me to smile from time to time. 5/10
