so I read book 1, here are my thoughts
characters, fall under some pretty stereotypical tropes.
like the characters are alright, but pretty flat bread, the dynamic aspect of them, seems as though they are one line on a dimensional scale
we have main protag, and he can't lie cause he's too obvious, but than, the premise makes no sense when, he has to keep secrets,
but everyone is on the dumber scale apparently, so that's the catch, when he getting almost caught, dumbness saves him.
if main protag wasn't sold as being a dumb honest person, I think it would do justice for unsureness, which is needed, the suspense in this manga is dry.
Although, I don't see much for story dynamics, evil newpaper girl that loves gossip, stirring up nonsense,
the deepness of issues seemed resolved almost instantly, which I don't find it helps the premise of keeping a secret. This occurs multiple times.
The build up and tension isn't there, so the secret doesn't feel as potent in impact to keep. So the comedy feels dry too, the punchline just whooshes before any actual crafting is made to claim it.
This book is okay enough to read, but it's like those radio songs into background you only accept as background music,
I can't see myself reading book 2. Like I am not taking a risk missing out on anything
that's why this manga gets 6/10, it's story writing was fair, integrated good aspects with main protag friends and his waifu, but the way the whole manga goes
feels like a scattered 1/3 fever dream that isn't unpleasant, but unmemorable when you wake up
