Kutsuzawa Yasuo is a gloomy loner with zero friends. As he walks home alone, as always, he has a chance encounter with the class's top-tier beauty, a popular gyaru every student admires. The premise is a light romcom about a boy who never expected to be noticed, and the gal who sees something in him.The strength is the contrast. Yasuo's gloomy manner and the gal's bright confidence make for funny, sweet scenes. The chemistry feels natural, and the tone is uplifting.The weaknesses are about the early stage. The series is still releasing, so its arc is not complete, and the romance follows familiar patterns. Readers wanting originality may find it predictable.Recommended for fans of sweet romcoms with a gloomy lead. Expect a warm, easygoing read that is still developing.
