So when I first started reading this, I didn't read much rom-com manga where it didn't left off from an anime. But when I saw it only had 5 chapters I thought I'd give it a try and I got hooked right away.
It has your typical childhood friend rom-com where they've been friends since chilhood but never dated, but the childhood friend will actually win in this cause it's not a harem, it's just a guy and a girl with no rivals and we jump right into the middle of their "I love you game".

And what the I love you game is, is basically ... making the other person go doki-doki and they have to it it. It happens in basically every chapter since they are the main focus, no side characters until chapter 20. It's usually the girl trying to make the guy show how cute she is but the guy plays it cool and smooth and counterattacks. But in reality they're both having a heart attack (not all the time but sometimes). Just check page 5 of the first chapter and you'll see what I mean.

Anyways, this is definitely worth trying, jus give it a few chapters and see what you think. I give it a 10 cause I don't see anything negative in it, cute girl, relatable guy (gamer, likes anime, can't talk to girls except MC girl). No drama that happens, fun times all the time. Cliches happen of course but that doesn't make it bad.
Art is really good too, story and art by the same person, always big respect for people who make good art while making the story.

This is very mixed depending on how you perceive these type of mangas, however it is quite recommended. The manga starts off very well explaining the concept of the entire game, however after the first few chapters everything seems repetitive. It feels like there actually has been no actual progression between the two MC's. But despite being repetitive, the manga just makes you want to read more until the point where you get sick of it.

I recommend reading it in few chapters and coming back every few months. Its not like the mangaka s oftenly anyway.

Should u read it? maybe. its very slow paced and ... repetitive.

I can't believe I am writing a 'Not Recommended" review for a manga that I initially found to be quite enjoyable. While I don't like the teasing thingy when it comes to my romance mangas, this surprisingly didn't ick me. It's just that it kind of fizzled out.

Life was good when it was just the two of them. There, I said it. It was good when it was just them playing the love game, getting all flustered. I mean, I couldn't stop smiling while reading. But still, I liked it somewhere around 20-25 chapters. But as the story went on, those moments got less and ... less frequent. Rather, I found myself clicking my tongue more often in disappointment.

After the introduction of other characters, the initial hook of playing the love game slowly started to get lost somewhere. However, instead of offering something for readers to anticipate, the author did nothing instead of creating drama out of thin air. While I would prefer to believe there is character development, there is not. Instead, both the characters are in shambles compared to when the story just started, the male lead more so, ittedly. One of the major reasons is that damn overly possessive trait that both of them have, with the male lead displaying it more prominently. It's like whenever he sees her in the vicinity of boys, he starts to throw a temper tantrum with a jealous face, followed by a chapter or two of him realising how pathetic he is. All that to go right back to square one and him throwing another tantrum after witnessing her with other boys.
His insecurities are so annoying to witness. And the frustrating thing is, both of them are fine with it. It's like you can be on the cusp of witnessing them confess to each other, but then the author pulls up the insecurity card just to throw any development out the window. The last good arc was the pokky kissing arc because it was the arc where we witnessed something in of development. The whole fake dating thing was decent but was just nothing but drama in the end. The recent sports festival arc just couldn't get any worse. We are currently 10 chapters into the arc, but I am already starting to get tired of it. While it looks like the male lead is finally trying to tackle his insecurities in this arc, he is not. Instead he is trying to play along with those insecurities, and it is just ruining the whole reading experience.

Art is the only good thing that has held out without deteriorating.
