Synopsis

Tomoya Tadano and Yuiko Kuroki are two high school students that have recently started dating. From holding hands to walking home together, there are still many things for them to explore as a couple. However, Yuiko is a person who does everything strictly by the book and has a hard time being honest about her feelings. Although she really wants to enjoy her time with Tomoya, she often gets embarrassed and claims that performing romantic acts in public is irresponsible and indecent. Thus, she conveys her desires in a roundabout way, as she refuses to break any rules, trouble the people around them, or accept unnecessary compromises.

Despite Yuiko's personality, Tomoya accepts her for who she is and goes along with her whims. For the adorable couple, every day is fun and exciting as they try out different ways to become closer to each other.

The series comes to an abrupt ending, with typesetting saying "next chapter". It never arrives, and I don't know if it was canceled or the author simply felt satisfied with what they wrote and called it quits.

That next chapter phrase is all lies, but the series ended on a high note for me. It started slow, and Yuiko-san was annoying as fuck because she really reminded me of my ex who was super possessive and nothing was ever enough to satisfy her. But then "BAAM", we got the gist of what the story wants to achieve, with little by little Yuiko-san changes for the better. ... She is early portrayed as this "don't touch me" type of girl who has that air of superiority, but in fact, she is just an awkward teenager who is self-conscious about people not approaching her out of fear and intimidation due to her harsh personality. She is too serious, annoying, wants everything to be done properly, but all of that is because she doesn't know any better, she is just another kid trying to figure out life as a teenager.

Yuiko-san never really learned how to open up to others until Tadano/Tomoya comes to be part of her life. He is portrayed as your average teenage boy, which means, he is a little too childish at first, he is not really into studying that hard even though he goes to a cram school, and he doesn't take things too seriously. I actually was pitying the boy at the start of his relationship with Yuiko-san. She can be beautiful, however, her personality was hard to swallow early on, especially on how she tries to hide their relationship from others, even when it is so obvious to those close to both.

Interestingly enough, Tomoya's development as a character is slow but steady. He tries his best to keep up with Yuiko's expectations. He does fail a lot, especially with kinship, just like any other teenage boy, he can't hide the fact he wants to go a little more and advance their relationship, however, he does his best to hold on for the sake of a healthy relationship and because he really knows Yuiko's san can't deal well when pressured, meaning that, if he really wanted to force her to do something against her will, out of fear of losing him or being hated by the person she likes, she would go that far. The boy really becomes more mature as the series goes on, as he already knows how to deal with Yuiko's personality and awkwardness.

I can tell with confidence that despite the stereotypes that our main cast falls into, this is a really good depiction of how a relationship develops (at least from what you can expect from your typical high school teenagers' first love). Of course, there are some highs and lows with the series, one of the lowest points of it are the first 2 volumes because of Yuiko-san being insufferable at times, to the point of you asking yourself "why does Tomoya pull through all this shit on a daily basis. How can he deal with her?". Coincidentally enough, the High points of this manga are pretty HIGH. Getting to see both of them developing as they get to know each other better is enough to justify the slow and boring start.

As the title says, Yuiko-san grows as a person on a daily basis as she gets more experience in life, and all of that is thanks to Tomoya. The Yuiko-san from the final volume is basically a totally different person from Yuiko-san of volumes 1-3, and that is for the better. I loved every minute of the manga and the Finale was incredible. It felt like a little journey back to my teenage years and seeing a close friend grow into adult life. If I could give it a specific score, I give it an 8.5 out of 10.

It's something really special despite feeling that the author wanted to do a lot more with it.

Have you ever felt fulfilled reading a manga? Well, after reading Kyou no Yuiko-san I can say that this is the most enjoyable romcom manga I've ever read.

This review contains some minimal spoilers, but I recommend everyone to read.

The story is no big deal: a couple of lovers living their days of immaturity in their relationship at school. Yuiko is our female protagonist, a shy and cautious character, who always tries to follow the rules of everything. Tomoya Tadano is our male protagonist. Like Yuiko, he is inexperienced in relationships, seeking to dare whenever possible, in order to get ... closer to his girlfriend. In addition to them, other secondary characters surround the story, bringing a more collegial and friendly atmosphere.

Throughout the manga, the characters go through a maturity process (including the secondary ones), which is visible in the final volumes. Yuiko steps out of the Tsundere style and begins to understand her real feelings. Tomoya is no longer invasive in some ways and manages to look at his partner with different eyes.

The manga follows its own reading style. It is not governed by large arches or difficult reading. It has a very 4-komas-based base, with quick, everyday dialogues. In addition, each chapter has its own story, where a new adventure is told.

But what interested me most in the manga was the lack I felt of a good romcom. For those who don't know, I love Gotoubun no Hanayome e Toradora !, sensational works and that I have a lot of fun with. Kyou no Yuiko-san is the perfect manga example that I recommend if you miss a project like this. It does not have the same "final resolution needed" plot as most current anime, as she has been working with the couple since the beginning of their courtship. It is not as if we did not know the end, since the work gives clues that their relationship is constantly evolving, which reduces the risk of conflicts and discussions.

However, this does not mean that there are no fights and everything that is right. The most serious moments exist and further intensifies their interaction with the other characters. Since the protagonists are shy and reserved, they don't like to do anything indecent in public. In addition, problems such as jealousy, worry about schedules, wrong dates and disagreements are normal here. They add weight to the manga, making the story even more fun.

The work is an example that it is possible to have a positive relationship with people of different steps. Knowing how to understand your love is essential to promote a healthy relationship. Kyou no Yuiko-san is more than approved in this regard!

The only problem I found here was the "tight" ending. The last few chapters gave an idea of continuity with new characters and interactions, but she ended up reaffirming the couple's love. It's not bad, nor does it take credit for everything already created, but it left me with a desire to "want to read more". I have hopes for an anime from this fun project, so I hope for some news from the otaku world.

Anyway, read this manga as soon as possible. I bet you will have a lot of laughs and you will not regret it.

I can guarantee that everyone who gave a low review to this work did not bother to finish a volume. This work has its entire first volume setting things up, so at the end (of the first volume) it finally enchants you.

As the name says, it is the day by day of Yuiko, a high school student who has only one friend named Tomoya. The story does not start at the beginning, they already know each other and have a certain relationship of proximity and this already escapes the mainstreams which is fantastic. Furthermore, the protagonists' development is absurdly detailed and leaves you with a ... smile at each end of the chapter.

Story 10/10
It is a story about everyday life, but very well told. Many say that Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san is innovative, this is a joke. Compared to the way this work tells things, I have never seen any other manga of romance deliver so much satisfaction. Characters are not stereotyped, the male protagonist is not dense but neither is he a badass. He is simply an ordinary student, and how it is lacking in today's works. The female protagonist initially seems very stereotyped, but at the end of the first volume it falls apart and she starts to become quite unique, the development of the story is beyond reproach. Even in the parts you don't like, you understand the reasons behind it.

Art 10/10

All designs are beautiful. The background is not fantastic because it comes down to a lot in closed environments, but it shouldn't be too. The artist draws women's bodies very well, which is great.

Character: 10/10

Simply the best male protagonist in Slice of Life works I've ever seen. It is not stereotyped or a super student or anything exaggerated. He's a guy who knows what he wants, but doesn't always know how to do it and learns during his development. Female heroin is unique. At first it causes a certain irritation to the way it acts and it seems to be just another tsundere cliché, but at the end of the first volume it becomes one of the best I've seen in works. All the supporting characters are really cool, they don't have much development, but they also have their good moments.

Enjoyment: 10/10
I ran 48 chapters in 24 hours, does that answer your question?
With each chapter you end up with a smile on your face. each conquest and step taken by both protagonists you hope that everything goes well and when you don't feel sad for them. This was one of the few works that I never supported a rival for the female or male protagonist, I just wanted to see how far they would go.

If you haven't read it yet, read it. Then please do as I try to correct this injustice that is the current ranking of this work in MAL. Do your review, raise the grade brutally, this needs to become an anime!

Thanks ^^
