Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (120/? chp)
This is a super generic romcom with the usual trope of loner MC and the popular classmate FMC. But really really sweet with plenty of comedy. Just remember to get through the 10-ish chapters which are kinda... meh. But it starts to get good from the moment where MC realizes he likes FMC.

Plot
The summary is fairly inaccurate, so i am writing about the plot here. MC is the usual loner, but finds our FMC attractive. FMC is also a professional Model. She eats A LOT. So, to eat in secret, she comes to the library regularly. Our MC (being a loner) also reads crime related books in the library alone. This is where their romance begins. The rest is more or less the usual romcom stuff with plenty of comedy. Both of them facing their problems head on, slowly growing as adults and so on.

The negatives
But i shall warn you. This is not a realistic story. The series is more or less pandering to male otakus. Most of the "drama" feels forced. The story also stretches this "will they, won't they" bullshit for a long while. Each character being super obvious about their love, still wondering whether the other person actually likes them. Almost confessing, but not doing it. Yeah.. the whole package of romcom tropes is here.

The positives
And that is fine. \We read this stuff for the sweet moments between characters that give the readers second hand embarassment. and we have plenty of those cutesy chapters.
1. The FMC being huge and the MC being tiny is really funny tbh. It probably awakened a new fetish in the new generation of manga readers.
2. This is as much a Slice of Life story, as it is a romcom. Both of the lead characters make a lot of progress with their insecurities.
3. The side cast, especially the families of main characters are hilarious. You know it is a good chapter whenever we see them.
4. The main characters have a certain erotic chemistry. Whenever they are close to each other, you can feel the sexual tension. I guess it is due to the character design of our female MC.

The most important thing is that despite the over use of the tropes, the manga still held my interest enough to finish upto 120 chapters. I know that this is definitely not for everyone, but for the target audience like me, it is definitely one of a must read.
