Read the full take

Plain, boring and friendless Nukumizu Kazuhiko has witnessed something completely baffling: popular girl Yanami Anna has been friend-zoned. That opening is wonderfully odd, and the novel builds its comedy on a bystander who suddenly finds himself caught up in the romantic chaos of others. The premise is witty and self-aware.The strength is the humour. The narration is sharp, and the romantic misunderstandings are fizzy and fun. The mix of self-deprecation and bright dialogue keeps the pages turning.The weaknesses are clear. Some gags repeat, and the losing-heroine premise can grow repetitive over time. Readers wanting a deeper romance may find the story stays on the surface.Recommended for fans of witty school comedies with romantic chaos. Expect a bright, fizzy read.
