i first discovered this in the anime adaptation and i totally fell in love with it!! from that point on, it became my most fav romcom anime (like top tier!! that's just how much i love it!!). and bc the anime wasn't enough for me, i also read the manga (as someone who doesn't read manga that much) and i'm glad i did! this was just wholesome huhu no words can describe how much i love this (most especially the dynamics of otani and koizumi, i freaking love them so much TvT). i love the anime adaptation but i 1Mx love this manga more. like i felt that some scenes in the anime were rushed and of course i want to know more what happened to both otani and koizumi. i have no regrets. this was rlly worth my time, all the tears I shed, and the frustrations that made by blood boil at its peak (like grrrrr!!). anyways, the manga gave justice to those scenes that weren't included in the anime and i love love love all the sweet moments of otani and koizumi, like it made me all giddy and such (it's been a while since i felt this KYAHHHH (≧▽≦)).
also, don't make me start with the chemistry between otani and koizumi. they are just made for each other huhu omygosh i love them so much. but honestly when i first watched the anime, because of their comedic pairing, it made me think that they are not suitable to be in a romantic relationship together. but as i watched further, it came to the point where i thought that they rlly suit each other, not just a comedic duo, but as lovers. like omygosh i can't explain the rollercoaster of emotions i had when i was watching the anime, and another set of a much heavier rollercoaster of emotions when i read the manga. that's just how good it is!! also, idk if it's just me but I can't help but fall in love with otani. like he has his flaws and all (he rlly made me frustrated with what he did on the scene with the older woman and with him forgetting koizumi's bday and him sometimes giving koizumi anxiety like broooo and etc etc, there's just so many like arghhhhh!!) but even with all those, he kind of redeems himself to other things. like u know what i mean, u can't just get mad at him for long. like when he say things or does things for koizumi to regains himself, your anger just melts like butter. and when he smiles, omygosh i would die just to see that smile again huhu (and it's not also helping that i rlly like tsundere characters like they are just so cuteeeeeee!!). otani is just so cute, handsome, cool, nice, caring, etc etc like omygosh i can describe him with a thousand words as to how good he is. sorry to all my blabbering, i just love him so much (༎ ෴ ༎). soooo that's why i kind of relate to koizumi when after all those heartbreaks, she didn't gave up her love towards otani coz gurlllll i will also do the same just to be with otani (but maybe not to her extent hehe, she's such a strong girl, i love her).
and omygosh i almost forgot the superrrr main reason why i came to love this story. it's bc i can totally relate to the struggles of koizumi on being a tall girl. like how u are always the last girl in line of your class, wanting to have a bf that's taller than u (not just tall but also has the other characteristics, u know what i mean hehe), and the struggles to find a guy that fits to that standard. like when it was told in the beginning and also in the later chaps that the reason koizumi is struggling to find a match is bc all the guys also see her as a guy bc of her height (and maybe bc of how she acts), it made me wonder that maybe i, too, might also have the same reason as to why no one ever approach or ask me out (nbsb at its finest huhu). and it also doesn't help that my parents are superrrrr strict and rlly forbids me from having a bf until i finish college (poor me huhu but i guess that's best for me, i don't have anyone i like either so ¯_(ツ)_/¯). but still it would have been great if i experience having a guy ask me out huhu TvT
anyways, this has been a longgggggg comment. so for my last words, i just wanna say that i rllyyyyy enjoyed and loved this story. some may not like it, but that's completely fine we all have our opinions, but as for me? this is by far my most fav romcom shoujo of all time!!
I had such good memories about this series from when I was younger, but rereading it now that I'm past 30 I can't help but feel really irritated at some of the dynamics here... Why is Risa always in the one taking blame or putting herself down? Otani might be a great best friend, but he sucks as a boyfriend. He's always the first to insult or accuse his girlfriend, he acts jealous and prickly. When Risa gets caught up into the Kohori kun thing, she's accused by everyone of cheating when she just wanted to be a food friend. But when Otani gets tangled with the older lady, Risa is the fist one that believes that the fault lies in the other woman and Otani is just being swindled. How is this fair? It's so upsetting to see Risa always be the one in the wrong, while nobody seriously scolds Otani for being a little jerk. And I'm not buying the argument "they're stupid teenagers", they're not 13, they're almost college students.
Honestly, I feel like people back then were REALLY like this. I don’t even know if they just didn’t have feelings, were totally unbothered, or simply didn’t think about anyone else. But to them, all this was completely normal. Unlike people today — we’re way more aware, smarter, and actually know how to value ourselves.
Everyone is saying that the ML is a bad boyfriend because of all the things he did but like Risa also isn’t a green flag either? They both hit each a lot. It’s supposed to comedic but let’s be real. Both of them share a lot of traits in common if anything just not the same but they both share the same toxic traits. Plus I’m more bothered how people got upset because he rejected her…that was uncomfortable. Then that girl they can’t misgendering. Still an enjoyable read if you can ignore all of that stuff. Eh I didn’t complete it, but so far this is what I’m getting.
To the people complaining abt it, yall, it's been 18 years since this manga finished Yall wanna complain about how glazed and overrated it its, BUT IT'S BEEN 18 YEARS, people are fond of this manga bc of nostalgia It's like complaining about junjo romantica and it's morals THIS YEAR

Why is Risa always in the one taking blame or putting herself down?
Otani might be a great best friend, but he sucks as a boyfriend.
He's always the first to insult or accuse his girlfriend, he acts jealous and prickly.
When Risa gets caught up into the Kohori kun thing, she's accused by everyone of cheating when she just wanted to be a food friend. But when Otani gets tangled with the older lady, Risa is the fist one that believes that the fault lies in the other woman and Otani is just being swindled.
How is this fair?
It's so upsetting to see Risa always be the one in the wrong, while nobody seriously scolds Otani for being a little jerk.
And I'm not buying the argument "they're stupid teenagers", they're not 13, they're almost college students.
Right?! Even at the end he forgots Risa's b-day ughh shes so pushover huhu
They’re so funny and cute my lovelies trust!!
cute, i def needed more domestic scenes with them though but enjoyed it
I'm so used to reading shoujos that make me wanna chew on my hair, I was unfazed by this
I still like it though, deffo a classic for me
HELLOOO, Im planning to read it— is it good tho? Im also not used to reading shoujos and watching them (￣∇￣")
Honestly, I feel like people back then were REALLY like this. I don’t even know if they just didn’t have feelings, were totally unbothered, or simply didn’t think about anyone else. But to them, all this was completely normal. Unlike people today — we’re way more aware, smarter, and actually know how to value ourselves.
yes lol they were more nonchalant about most things but now everyone's frontal lobe has thankfully developed and can actually value themselves
I read this in my teens and love it but now I'm like ok
There's no much romance like I remember at least
