by Ryou Itou, Shuuichi Nimaru
My childhood friend Shida Kuroha seems to have feelings for me. She lives next door, and is small and cute. With an outgoing character, she’s the caring Onee-san type, this being one of her greatest strengths. …But, I already have my first love, the beautiful idol of our school, and the award-winning author high school girl, Kachi Shirokusa! Thinking about it rationally, I should have no chances with her, but, while walking home from school, she only talks to me, with a smile even! I might actually have a chance, don’t you think?! Or so I thought, but then I heard that Shirokusa already has a boyfriend, and my life took a turn for the worse. I want to die. Why is it not me?! Even though she was my first love…As I was drowning in despair and depression, Kuroha whispered. —If it’s that tough for you, then how about we get revenge? The best revenge ever, that is~

Read the full take
My childhood friend Shida Kuroha seems to have feelings for me. She lives next door, is small and cute, and has an outgoing character that makes her hard to ignore. That is an easy, familiar romcom setup, and the series builds its comedy on the question of whether the lead notices what everyone else already sees.The strength is the energy. The banter between the two leads is quick, and the everyday school life gives the gags room to land. Shida's warmth makes her an easy character to like, and the chapters move briskly.The weaknesses are clear. The love triangle can feel forced, and the short run means the supporting cast gets little room to grow. Readers wanting big emotional turns may find the story light.Recommended for readers who like cheerful romcoms with a childhood-friend hook. Expect a bright, quick read.
