Synopsis

At school, Eriko Ichimura is a nobody. She looks plain, and her classmates overlook her existence until they need to dump their responsibilities on her. On Twitter, however, she is "Lovesick Ellie," a girl with a vivid imagination who writes posts inspired by her fantasies. Akira Oomi, the object of her fantasies, is the most attractive boy in her school, and everything about him seems to be perfect.

Eriko's fantasies take a hit when she accidentally eavesdrops on a conversation between Akira and their homeroom teacher. His true nature is laid bare—he is, in fact, a foul-mouthed and insensitive snob. But when she clumsily forgets her phone at the scene, Akira himself approaches her to return it; however, he has already skimmed through her embarrassing Twitter posts. What Eriko does not expect is him offering to help her realize her fantasies—but only if she stays silent regarding his character.

Trouble seems to follow Eriko wherever she goes, and her luck is absolutely the worst... or is it?

This manga was the perfect combination of cute and funny. The character development was outstanding and the FL I especially enjoyed, very awkwardly adorable. The way that the author portrayed two people very new to love and overcoming obstacles as well as discovering new thoughts and feelings really allows them to connect to the reader. I was sad to be finished reading it 😢

The only criticism I have would be that the plot was a bit predictable, but every other detail about this manga compensates for that and then some. I highly recommend this to those that enjoy shoujo

The art style as well ...

Literally one of the best high school romcoms I have ever read.

It has one of my all time favorite couples that are so sweet, and wholesome (well mostly hehe), while also being very realistic and grounded.

The comedy is top tier too! It's not that often that I find myself actually laughing at loud at a manga (maybe I just haven't found the right ones?). And most of the comedy comes from the titular Ellie. She's so over-the-top and ridiculous (and soooooo pervy lmao), and even occasionally breaks the fourth wall, it's amazing.

Other than the main couple (that I just adore), the side cast is really ...

Mixed Feelings
The art is very beautiful, characters are handsome, and the facial reactions comedic at times, no complaints in that regard. That aside,

There were some great moments and then some really annoying moments. First off, I'm not the greatest fan on stories that establish a couple almost immediately in the first volume. The ML keeps a facade of being personable, when he really hates having to put in that effort. He struggles with keeping that reputation and just being himself a bit which is a little more snarky yet kind. I would have liked to see more of that but I felt he became too tame ...
