Synopsis

Eriko Ichimura spends her high school days in complete obscurity. Her sole hobby is staring at handsome, smooth-spoken Akira Oumi, and tweeting her daily fantasies under the screenname "Lovesick Ellie." One fateful day, she accidentally bears witness to Oumi-kun's true self—and if that weren't enough, he sees her mortifying Twitter, too! Follow along with a plain, perverted girl, a two-faced boy, and their curious romance!

this manga is what i would expect from most shojou-romace mangas, lots of cute romantic moments (and i love them all<3), the difference between this and others are the 'drama', it doesn't have serious drama, which makes this more entertaining(adding unwanted drama to this mixture would have made it a mediocre work, but now it turned out to be great). the moments they share are too cute that one cannot stop grinning like an idiot. there are few other characters who make appearances later on.

i never knew i would use this term, but yeah this manga would be my definition of 'moe'(mangaka, look what you read more

How do I describe this manga? It’s a manga that is extremely fun to read, even though on the surface it looks boring. It had an intriguing plot when it was supposed to be a boring one. So I guess I would describe this manga as way better than it has any right to be. Let’s get down to the nitty gritty, shall we?

Story: 8

I was actually not sure where to score this section. It shouldn’t be much of a surprise to long time shoujo fans that the story is fairly standard. Unpopular girl falls for heartthrob of the School, yadda yadda, you get the read more

This series is great. It’s absolutely hilarious hahahaha I cry-

The summary made me feel it was one of those plots again, a girl fantasises boy finds out and then he teases— well here’s the catch, the outline may seem similar to other mangas but its not. It’s actually very enjoyable. I’ve been having such a great laugh thanks to this manga.

The story 7.5/10
At first I was a bit reluctant to pick this up but I’m so glad I did. Although too much fantasies makes me lowkey uncomfortable but it’s played out in a very humorous way so doesn’t feel too out of the place. read more

Warning: Review has slight spoilers, but most of what I discuss is found in the synopsis.

Story: 7
The premise of this manga is super interesting: the main girl, Eriko Ichimura, is a girl with no presence, she's constantly forgotten by her peers and has no friends. She constantly daydreams and has a secret twitter account under the pseudonym "Lovesick Ellie" and her twitter account is found out by the school prince "Ohmi-Kun" who actually has a stubborn, tsundere-like personality. They both hold their secret and as feelings arise, they work through their relationship together.

The secret twitter account seems so funny to me, but I wish Ellie could've kept her account secret for longer. The whole reason why I picked this manga up is because I thought it would've been super interesting to see how Ellie hides her account from her crush. Even if Ellie finds out Ohmi is not the same one he shows his classmates early on, I think it would've been another 'climax' to the story when Ohmi finds her account.

However, what saved the story for me is that even though both parties have some romantic feelings towards each other, Ohmi is tied between the image he shows others and his 'true' image, something which hurts Ellie since she constantly feels like a burden to him and that he's in a different league that she can't compete in. The manga shifts from this 'secret account' to understanding who you are as a person, and accepting people for who they are. For Ellie, she also has to learn how to have confidence in herself and learn to make most of reality instead of being stuck in fantasies or holding Ohmi to these fantasies in her head.

Overall, the story is super enjoyable, it has cliche tropes but in my opinion, it handles it super well. The comedy is hilaaarious, since Ellie is seen as "perverted" (think of like kpop stans and how they fangirl lol) her commentary is hilarious! And tsundere male leads have always been my favorite.

Art: 7
I gave art a 7 because it's not memorable like Ao Haru Ride or Dengeki Daisy, but it's super pretty and nice to look at. So while the art isn't memorable, it's beautifully drawn and doesn't take away from the story. The expressions are always on point and hilarious, and the panels are easy to read.

Character: 9
I gave the characters a 9 because that's what really keeps me reading aside from seeing how the main couple progresses. Ohmi-kun putting up a persona makes a lot of sense and he isn't overly harsh/mean on Ellie, and he genuinely cares for her. His reactions to Ellie's shenanigans are super hilarious, she's unashamed about anything and he, as a tsundere is constantly flustered. But he has moments where he's teasing to Ellie which makes their interactions super cute!

Ellie is by-far the most hilarious female lead I've ever seen. Her fantasies are wild and she has this air of innocence but dirty-minded, she's so unexperienced but her fantasies says otherwise LOL. She's just really easy to relate to and she's very honest and kind. Her falling for Ohmi is so wholesome. She genuinely wants all of him, and not just the side he shows others. It's very heartfelt! Both her and her friend Sara are atypical female leads and are just super hilarious.

Enjoyment: 8
Things move pretty fast in this manga compared to other shoujo, it seems like it will be a short read but it's super enjoyable because of the character development and the storyline. You would think that if the characters are known to like each other from the get-go it would be boring, but the mangaka does very well in keeping you reading because they aren't reeeeeally together. It's super realistic in my opinion seeing their relationship progress. The question isn't "Does Ohmi like Ellie?" it's more of "How can they move forward in their relationship/friendship?"

Overall: 8
The art is great to look at, the characters are hilarious, and the storyline is pretty captivating. Ellie isn't the typical meek shoujo lead, she's a innocent (yet dirty-minded) lead who's very honest and kind to a fault. She's very forward and silly, and it makes it easy to like her. Even Ohmi who has a "bratty attitude" is kind and considerate of everyone's feelings, and does his best when he makes mistakes. My only wish is that I wanted Ellie's secret twitter account to remain a secret for longer, or at least if Ohmi found out, he could tease her by re-enacting her tweets without her knowing that he knows. Despite the lost potential, the premise is still interesting and I highly recommend if you want to read something sweet, cute, and funny!
