The life of Tomoya Aki, a high-school otaku working part-time to support his Blu-ray hoarding. With remarkable luck, he bumps head-first into Megumi Kato, the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. The premise is a romcom about an otaku whose ordinary life is suddenly tangled with an impossibly popular classmate.The strength is the self-awareness. Tomoya's wry, sardonic narration is funny, and the story playfully pokes at otaku life. The cast has real chemistry, and their interactions are often sharp.The weaknesses are about the pace and references. The romance builds gradually, and some pop-culture references may date. Readers wanting a faster romance may find it leisurely.Recommended for fans of witty, self-aware romcoms. Expect a sharp, funny read that rewards its cast.
