Gals Can’t Be Kind to Otaku!?
Also known as: Otaku ni Yasashii Gal wa Inai!?, オタクに優しいギャルはいない!?, Gal Can't Be Kind to Otaku!?, Gibt‘s denn keine Gyaru, die nett zu Otaku sind?!, 哪裡有溫柔對待阿宅的辣妹!?, OtaGal, オタギャル, สาวแกลไม่มีทางใจดีกับโอตาคุหรอก!?
by Norishiro-chan, Sakana Uozumi
Meet Takuya Seo, an otaku who sits behind the popular gals in class, Ijichi and Amane. Since they're people from different "castes," you wouldn't expect them to have much in common. But when their worlds collide over a borrowed eraser, Takuya slips up about his favorite anime, and Amane...is rather quick to correct him. She says she's not a fan, but her familiarity with the series suggests otherwise. Could she be...a fellow geek?! (Source: Yen Press)

Read the full take
A warm romcom about two people who seem to come from different worlds and discover they share a hobby. It is light, funny and easy to enjoy.The premise is sweet. The idea that a popular gyaru might secretly love the same anime as the boy behind her creates a lovely sense of possibility. The character work is warm, and the writing gives both leads room to feel awkward and sincere.The story is still early in its run, and the central tension can feel familiar. Some misunderstandings lean on the classic romcom playbook, and the cast beyond the leads is less developed. Readers who want a sharper, more original setup may find it predictable.For fans of gentle school romances and shared-interest pairings, this is a comfortable choice. It grows on you through small moments. Expect charm rather than surprises, and a story that is at its best in its quieter scenes.
