I really enjoyed this Manga.

Kin no Kanojo, Gin no Kanojo has a really high potential to be one of the best rom-coms out there, they could've explore more of the childhood friend arc and as well as more love-triangle between the Gold and Silver heroine's. In my opinion having more of those rivalry could spice up the story as well as being more interesting and some readers might get MORE attachment than intended due to the characters showing more affections than it was suppose to be.

Be it as it may, the Manga is still a GOOD and INCREDIBLE to read for fun or atleast that ...

Sorry for my english in advance.

I was forced to skip the half of the manga ( I was just seeing pictures not reading) because texts are just too much to talk about nothing.

You eat some sushis ? 5 entire panels and 15 bubbles of dialogue... It becomes annoying

I didnt find the plot especially interesting until the end which was very good and satisfying.

MC is the normal shounen idiot but he's not as tense as normal MC in shounen so at least it wasn't bad.

Kin no Kanojo Gin no Kanojo isn't really a hidden gem of manga as one might hope with its admittedly unique, irregular artwork and low popularity.

It's buried under the load of usual problems that I think every niche slice of life suffers from.

Longevity, characters, and serious misusage of its premise.

*Spoilers Ahead*

Story: 2
I don't want to say the manga starts off typically when it isn't something I've seen that often. The problem is that the utilization of the beginning is poor. The two girls being each other is never brought up in a manner to spark conflict or even spice things up until ... the terribly rushed ending. Past the first chapter, every single chapter afterward becomes a slugfest of boring and uninteresting events that occur in every SoL ever with no unique twists, turns, or even slight adjustments. Certainly, even a fan of the manga wouldn't argue the cliché nature. But does a manga/anime need to be experimental to garner my appreciation? Not particularly, but the problem is how this manga somehow manages to follow the formula through the entire course of the bareboned story. Nothing surprised me or even made me think they followed the formula well. The ending, something I briefly touched on earlier is obviously an attempt at an emotional ending but somehow everyone ends up winning regardless.

Art: 6
It looks bad but almost in a way where it complements the overall quality of the manga. Jokes aside, it does for some reason induce a breath of fresh air in me as I see these unseemly artworks propped against just as unseemly backgrounds, none of it looking particularly interesting or eye-catching. But it's this laying-low vibe that the style radiates that makes you believe it's the quintessential SoL, fun, somewhat light with occasional social consciousness. Either that or it's charming for the same reason stickman videos were popular in the early 2010's, parodies of actual good works. Regardless, the art still does look bad so a good score would not be warranted here.

Character: 1
This part is embarrassing for Kin no Kanojo Gin no Kanojo. It's not even about the potential they set up for themselves with the premise, the characters just go no where the whole manga. It's unrewarding to essentially see a bunch of characters do the same thing over and over but each time, the girl likes the guy just a bit more. It's not only predictable but such a cheap and easy way of forcing character development. Pay any high-schooler in creative writing classes to write characters who get developed better, have interesting conflicts, and have interesting motivations and it would end up tenfold the experience that is trying to "analyze" Kin no Kanojo Gin no Kanojo's characters. Every conflict between the two heroines comes not from the fact they are the same person but from the fact they like the same guy. "That in of itself is a conflict though!" you may concur but that conflict happens in every manga with multiple love interests. It's overplayed and makes the initial premise as well as any potential of unique conflicts and motivations impossible to utilize.

Enjoyment: 4
If you take a second to disrespect yourself by turning your brain off, this manga is just as enjoyable as any other SoL but given it's unique art, it'll become a memorable experience. A four in this category is generous to be honest, but it's what I felt the manga merited.

Overall, if you want to read this manga, go right on ahead. Manga like this always make me appreciate the Oregairu's and Hyouka's more. There's even the group of people who don't care for technical story writing ability and enjoy manga like this. I'm not a purebred classical anime enjoyer either to be honest, I enjoyed this manga way more than I should have.

Is it a guilty pleasure? Not really, it doesn't even scratch that itch as well as Date A Live or Sewayaki Kitsuno no Senko-san does. The premise itself no matter how unique or interesting it sounds in your hand didn't matter in the grand scheme of the manga because it only existed to force the sentimental ending. Using your premise just to get to a ending doesn't really matter, in fact, that's how most premises are thought up in the first place. But the problem does arise when it becomes obvious and you skip out on development because you never cared for it in the beginning.

It's hard to tell if there was passion put into this project, a statement that if you have to even ask, indicate there wasn't. It's not as much as a void or meaningless as my previous manga review, Ashigei Shoujo Komura-san but it certainly isn't all that better.

It scrapes by as a 2/10 for me.
