Personal Opinion
I watched the first few episodes of the anime for this and got the first volume of the manga for pretty cheap on bookwalker. It’s a cute romcom, but in an adult setting and with a confession in the literal first pages of the manga.
Also behold! the rare ponytail wag
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Short, evenly divided chapters ~20 pages would be easy to schedule, and short length overall, only 150 pages according to the natively stats means we’re done with it quickly if it ends up not being fun
- Pretty unusual setting for the nominations here on the forums - it’s not a high school romance, it’s not a fantasy world, it’s Adult romances between grad/late undergrad students at a university.
- If we like it, there’s quite a bit of it to run an offshoot with (I think 16 volumes and ongoing)
- Lots of exposure to unusual but still useful vocab (especially if you read a lot of wikipedia like me)
- It’s really really really really cute
- it actually has furigana (but don’t expect that to make it much easier
)
Cons
- Actually pretty dense for a romcom, lots of fun science terminology. It includes some concept explainer pages between chapters that are similar to the shogi columns in march comes in like a lion
- I haven’t actually read it to be sure how the quality is or what the long term prospects of the series are
- It is tagged ecchi on anilist, but flipping through the first volume I did not see anything particularly ecchi
- It started as a webcomic, and you can sorta tell sometimes - definitely not the most visually stunning manga, like a lot of our other nominations.
