The invisibility idea is great, and its execution had me thoroughly interested, but the main characters... ugh.
Story: 8/10.
I guess I'd have given it a 10 if not for the ending, just felt distasteful. Still gets an 8 for concept atleast.
Art: 10/10.
It is pretty basic, but it just felt perfect for this kind of story.
Character: 4/10.
Ahhh, the part where it went wrong. At first I liked the dynamic between them, but it got annoying really quickly. The girl literally never tries to even SPEAK to the guy, and this dumbass of a guy just keeps, KEEPS going to her to initiate everything. I'm fine with that much, some people just don't do much on their own. Fair. But then this bitch keeps refusing. YEESH That is seriously annoying. I'm quite surprised MC never flipped her off. It fits the premise, sure, and adds to the fun sometimes. But her level is simply too shitty.
Here's a few particularly annoying examples:
1. She makes cookies for him, can't tell him, starts remarking how they are SO tasty, but she can't finish them herself. MC picks up on her hint and asks for some, since she has so many. She proceeds to eat all the cookies and say "Too bad, no leftovers for you".
...
...
Why.
And this guy is so desperate to make her happy he eats the single lone cookie that fell off when she ate. 10/10 character building.
And *SPOILERS here*
Another infuriating aspect is she laments their awkward state she caused in the past when someone joked of them dating, she said she only spoke to him out of pity, and there's no way she'd date him. Ouch, okay, bad enough, but fine, maybe she'll grow and correct her mistake...? right? NOPE. In the second last chapter, someone says it again, and yet again, she says she can't stand him, and there's no way she'd date him... Girl, I thought you regretted saying ti before deeply. How do you say it again by reflex... Atleast I hoped she'd apologize, or the guy would tell her he knows her true feelings, tells her to be honest, or SOMETHING, but nah he just tells her he likes her. Till the end, she does nothing while he does enough to drive any sane person to kick her out of their lives.
There's good ones with a theme of not progressing the relationship themselves, like Kaguya-Sama. Both love each other and never say it, but atleast they try to make plans to get the other one say it. That was fun. This.... I'd have given it a 1 if not for the superbly fun invisibility.
Enjoyment: 9/10.
Through all its faults, I can't deny enjoying the invisible moments to madness. Easy 10 if not for the characters themselves...
Overall: 8/10
Still worth a read. If you can tolerate the girl, this would be a great manga for sure. Even if you can't, I'd say its still somewhat worth finishing, though it did leave a sour taste in the end.
