So basically I began reading this manga because I heard it from anitubers (The Anime Man) talk about it and there's an anime adaption in the works. I read the 63 chapters (not gonna lie, it is an addictive read) and honestly I think reading 63 chapters were enough for me to say, this ain't for me chief.... All you're getting is a teen girl who constantly downgrades, mocks and pretty much harrasses a guy older than her just because he doesn't stand up for himself. You don't realise how many times I've tried to drop this manga altogether but yeah I just feel it's just so controlling and very aggressive. That's not a good thing to start a relationship full stop.... The only good thing about this manga is that it's art is pretty nice but the rest, I might as well want to forget about it.....

So far it is a cute, funny story. The main character is a artsy nerd who's scared of his own shadow. A cute underclassman takes an interest in him, and displays it by harassing him constantly. It has been interesting to what their relationship progress.

It's not at all an exaggeration when I say that the eyes are what first sparked my interest in this manga and are predominantly what maintains my interest as the series continues. I've read my fair share of manga, but I can't think of any other with eyes this expressive and beautiful. As Nagatoro tease-flirts with the unnamed senpai and enjoys femself, feir irises fluidly change size and color and grow Ringlets of Mischief. Which contrasts with feir almost lifeless stare when fe engages with other boys. And then there's feir Almond Eyes of Don't-Touch-My-Man, which perfectly evoke possessive jealousy. As for the senpai, feir eyes wiggle and squirm behind feir glasses as fe tries to avoid confrontation. It's really cute seeing Nagatoro demean and mock feir senpai, but at the same time wanting fem to be the best that fe can be (as evidenced by fem pushing fem to get into shape physically and encouraging fem to ask for what fe wants). Fe often teases fem by repeating what fe says, finding perverted subtext behind feir actions and words, and calling fem gross. And fe playfully beats fem with feir noodly appendages. Sometimes, things will go further than fe expected and fe ends up embarrassed and blushing. We also see fem getting swept along by feir friends, who enjoy mocking the senpai purely for mockery's sake, and upping feir insulting game when fe's around them. But then again, fe'll also defend fem when fe thinks feir friends go too far and acts possessive of the guy when they try to bully fem (since bullying is flirting for fem). [Reviewed at chapter 50]
