Id actually give this manga an 8.5 and seriously, where are all the reviews for this work of art? To be honest though, I, myself only found it when doing the 2017 manga challenge and one of the requirements was to read a hidden gem. This manga is definitely a well hidden gem. I love shoujo manga with male protagonist because they are just so rare and I did not think I would stumble upon more of its species.
The story is pretty simple, the characters are older than high schoolers and in the work force, with Sekine being 30 and Sara,the woman, being who

Honestly, I swear The Romance Genre should be added here. Bare in mind, I've only read 17 chapters, so things could change
The Main Story follows the plot of the man described in the Synopsis. This man seems to be good at everything...EVERYTHING! Though he doesn't know what to pursue. Thus you may start feeling that this man is horribly irritating, HOWEVER i beg you to just keep reading. You will in turn realize that this man has a flaw. The inability to get across what he thinks/loves/feels. Almost like what you would expect. Now i know that this is a everyday typical flaw in a ...

Chapter 32 (dunno where 33 is)
Story 9: It was great as my rating states, it felt a little bit unreal (so 10 is out of question + other reasons). Sekine-kun no Koi is a story with a mixed josei and seinen vibe, meaning you have a girly romance with a mix of male perspective (dominated by male perspective). MC is an odd ball, he is basically an robo genius with no emotions of his, but as the manga goes so does story development. My last statement can be compared to a blooming flower (story starts slow then you see magic happen, feels train moving faster than light ...

I mean this with all the love and seriousness that goes into a topic such as this, but Sekine is the most autistic main character I have ever read in manga. The way he views the world and how he interacts with the people around him seemed to resonate heavily with a version of the autistic experience of navigating love and relationships (according to my understanding). Not in a silly and quirky way. Not in a tropey and stereotypical way. But in a frustrating and self-destructive way. Sekine would come off as a total creep weirdo if not for his earnestness and honesty at the

I hate how underrated this is but at the same time, I like being one of the few that know of this gem.
First and probably the last review so take my words with a grain of salt and beware of spoilers cause I don't know what i'm typing half the time. Also, to save any readers time, if ur looking for a drama, romance about a pure/ emotionless guy or if you're looking for a romance outside of all those Highschool lovefests, I recommend giving this manga a try. If you aren't, scurry off. Story: 9 I don't think the synopsis does a very good job of ...

I loved this , it was quirky and a bit confusing at points (I am guessing this is the case due to things getting lost in translation) but it was interesting and so different from other slice-of-life works. I'm writing this review because no one here has mentioned how dark it can get sometimes, so slight spoilers. It's not gorey and stuff but people who are sensitive to content that mentions sexual abuse- this one is not for you. There are descriptions of sexual exploitation which is not extremely graphic as I mentioned but can be upsetting to see, but this does not take a

Sekine's love is an absolute hidden gem. If you're looking for a really good Josei you should give this a try. The story follows the life of Sekine, a successful salaryman that seems to have the perfect life, loved by all and surrounded by admirers but soon enough you start to see the cracks in his life. What happens when you're too attractive, too perfect and untouchable?
The story doesn't focus on the positive of having the traits that everyone yearns for but rather the opposite, the bad things that come about when everyone sees you as an object. The only person that can seem to get ... |
