With a long title for any manga, what are the expectations before reading set at? At the very bottom. But, this isn’t that bad. Despite this manga being completely unrealistic and filled with the classic humor cliches, it’s still relatively enjoyable.
The romance is, of course, the bare minimum with the classic “teasing and oops- we both blush because it went too far” trope mixed with a love rival that has no chance of winning. So from that sentence alone, it’s pretty clear that the reading experience may be enjoyable to some while off-putting to others when looking for a rom-com manga.
If there was any difference in characters/romance, it would be the mc’s regret (?) along with his denial of “fake” love, so he will have room for development in the upcoming chapters, which is rare for any male, rom-com shounen lead.
Besides for the lack of realism and “shallowness” when it comes to characters or plot, it’s still enjoyable because it’s filled with laughs and wholesomeness. By the title alone, don’t take it too seriously.
