This manga is just so funny. It’s about an adult nerdy woman who is terrified and intimidated by her midleschool/elementary aged delinquent neighbor that always seems to be harassing her (cuz he has a crush on her) Its overall a very adorable and funny series and the MC is hilarious and lovable in her terror. despite being a total pushover the fl is a solidly good person

Soooo.... this is the cutest thing ever. Seriously the two leads have such a beautiful friendship. At first I thought the series would just be fluff and funny bits with no plot but I was wrong. As the story progresses the relationship slowly and naturally grows. The characters are adorkable without being frustrating in their awkwardness. SO GOOD.
