Synopsis

Spring. The "season of love" has arrived and it seems that finding himself a girlfriend was harder than Junichi believed. To break the status quo, Junichi's friends have forced him into confessing to the gal, Yame Yukana. However, things do not go quite as he expected. A series of "firsts" begins!

Preliminary (16/? eps)

*I'm writing this review because this manga is really a funny romcom and I want people to acknowledge it so we can have faster scans and translations!*

Story(7):
The story is the weakest part of this amazing manga, is something we have seen quite a bit in this kind of genres:
Unpopular guy get te chance to date a really cute and popular girl.
What makes this manga amazing are witouth a doubt the characters, Junichi our cliché anime character, weak, a looser is constantly teased by Yuka which seem to understand pretty well the desires of his new boyfriend, but something about her personality seem strange, is she ...

Hey y'all. MAL's biggest gal manga reviewing mouthbreather here.

You know what I like? A story premise with cute shit. You know what I hate? Going full-blown harem when you're running out of ideas and need something to cater and appeal to the broadest types of weebs possible.

This manga was always pretty tied with harem as the main character just suddenly attracts gals like moths to a flame when he starts to date the main girl by the name of Yame. Typical story of loser gets with very popular girl and wacky misadventures ensue as everyone tries to fuck him. I always understood why ... people disliked that aspect of the manga, but the strongest part of the story was never really the harem shit or the characters, it was the dynamic between Junichi and Yame. What begins as the main character just trying to lose his virginity actually becomes a pretty fulfilling relationship between both the characters even if the origin of why they dated had little substance beyond a dare. They have cute moments that remind me of the naivety that comes with having a first girlfriend. Not knowing when to engage, overreactive imaginations, misunderstandings, etc. The development between these two is great, and I'd love if more of the manga was cleverly written in different ways around their dynamic but it isn't. It's based around the entire posse, and I was fine with this for the most part albeit minorly annoyed, but lately the story is just starting to fall off the rails. The harem characters are like those shitty repetitive side-quests you have to complete before you actually get to the main one. Some of the harem characters are just fine in their own right like the cam girl and tan gyaru as they will sometimes normally progress Yame and Junichi's relationship forward through misunderstandings and manipulation, but others like fat tiddied loli and the shitty trap character are completely pointless and serve as nothing but brainless filler and lowest common denominator pandering. Even the loli has a chapter where she is depressed because NO ONE pays attention to her. All of this makes me think, if the best part of this manga is just the two main characters interacting, then why does a harem even exist? Never once do you ever feel like Junichi is even close to betraying Yame. All of it just starts to fall apart and slowly you stop seeing the background characters as characters but rather as just obnoxious and easy plot points. I really wish there was just more well-written side characters rather than just harem fodder that keeps being introduced like the trap or the student president. Maybe there's just something inherently dumb about having a harem in a manga where there's already an established relationship as the central point of your story.

I do enjoy this manga as it's one of the first gal manga I've gotten invested in, but the story dredging you along over and over until you get to Yame and Junichi starts to feel less and less worth it as it goes on. I'll still follow it and see where it goes from here.

Extremely annoying. The MC is quite possibly the worst main character ive ever seen, being simultaneously annoyingly lecherous and pervy (basically seeing his new GF as a piece of meat for the large part of the early chapters) and annoyingly a pussy (refusing to do anything even when his girlfriend borderline sexually assaults him asking to bone). His main goal is to end his virginity, yet purposefulyl declines every reasonable chance his girlfriend throws his way.

His GF Yume-San is a very kind, nice, empathetic (obviously extremely attractive) and understanding person, while he offers nothing. Obviously this is a simple trashy escapism manga, but usually ...
