Nobukuni is in love with Sasaki, a boy who sits next to her in class. But how can she get him to notice her? A deep dive into teen magazines and heeding the advice of a cool girl in class gives Nobukuni all kinds of ideas: try to sleep cutely at her desk, flash a little skin, and kindly waft some of her pheromones in Sasaki’s direction. She’s not getting much of a reaction, so she fears it isn’t working–little does she know he’s hiding some secret feelings of his own! A delightful romantic comedy about young passion and the (awkward) act of seduction! (Source: Seven Seas Entertainment)

Read the full take

Nobukuni is in love with Sasaki, a boy who sits next to her in class. But how can she get him to notice her? She turns to teen magazines and the advice of a cool girl she admires. The premise is a light romcom built on the awkward, earnest lengths a shy girl will go to for a crush.The strength is the humour. Nobukuni's over-researched plans are funny, and her sincere confusion makes her easy to root for. The magazine-inspired schemes are a clever source of comedy.The weaknesses are about the content and repetition. Some fan-service moments feel out of place, and the gags repeat across the long run. Readers wanting a cleaner romcom may find it uneven.Recommended for readers who enjoy awkward, funny crush comedies. Expect a cheerful, sometimes cheeky read that is best enjoyed in short bursts.
