Synopsis

Saeki Kazuko is an ordinary otaku who has a thing for "two-dimensional shota" but somehow, she is being bothered a lot by a neighbor's child, Aikawa Ryuou, an elementary school boy who looks like a yankee but is pure by heart. Even though he earnestly approaches Kazuko, he shows it with honest feelings and partly some violence.

My review!!!

The Manga can be read here...

So the title is pretty self explanatory... Well sort of. You see what it doesn't say is how this seems like a love story for our little delinquent. He fell for the otaku a long time ago but she is so clueless he doesn't even know! Yes you learn that all by the end of the 5th chapter so I don't mind spilling that spoiler. But what you don't know, because I'm not telling, is why she doesn't know he likes her.

Yes that also gets answered in the first 5 chapters. This little boy has no clue about life or anything that an otaku would go through on a regular basis and ends up making some pretty funny assumptions. He is way too assertive for a shy otaku but doesn't seem to notice that either. Meanwhile our dear shy otaku is so confused on why she is being targeted.

I wonder what will become of their love since neither of them knows how the other feels... Speaking of feelings... I felt this one deserved this rating!

On a scale of 1 to 10 with ten being a "Perfect-Must-Read" rating I give this...

But really... It was a great read! The story keeps you smiling and guessing what will come next. You constantly wonder what is going on in both the main characters minds so you want to keep reading. The art is bad either... I have seen better in my years of reviewing but if I have to be honest I have seen so much worse. It was mostly easy to follow the flow of the story because the images made sense.. Nothing was wasted. The reason I gave it only a 7 was because the story has points where it was a bit hard to follow and where the images made things a little confusing. People were introduced at random and disappeared just as fast. For me that wasn't a good thing.

So I guess I'll leave you with those thoughts...

As always... Thanx for reading my review!
Hope you have an interesting and fun day!!!
