Story
The story follows two otaku couples as they navigate their relationship and get into funny situations. Sometimes the story consists of quick skits that highlight a character's quirk. At other times the story is completely serious, when characters confront problems in their relationship or have to clear up a misunderstanding. It's mostly a decent-paced rom-com, but new characters and situations are introduced to keep things interesting.
Art
SUPERB. The art is detailed, gorgeous, and all the characters are so attractive. The layout of the panels on the page is very aesthetically pleasing. They're never jammed, with plenty of "breathing room" that's easy on the eyes. I can't say enough about how good the paneling is. Sometimes I just flip through the pages to re-experience the art, it's that good.
Character
All of the four main characters are otakus in different ways. If you're reading this, chances are you're a bit of an otaku yourself, so I guarantee you'll have a character to relate to, if not all of them. The comedy of the (dysfunctional) lives of otaku are balanced well by wholesomeness and healthy relationships. Otaku can be weird, but so can everyone, and at the end of the day they're people who face normal problems (as well as otaku ones). Our characters face doubts, overcome obstacles, fight and make up, and become more aware of themselves as the series progresses. In addition to the four main characters, there is another couple whose relationship starts developing later, and is indeed still developing. Can I just say, it's one of the cutest things in the series!
Enjoyment/Overall
I enjoyed reading Wotakoi so much. I also watched the anime, but I think the manga is superior in terms of artwork and pacing. The manga is also able to deliver jokes better, as you can see simultaneously what the characters are saying vs. what they are thinking. If you're coming here from the anime, I encourage you to read the manga, as there is material that the anime left out.
