From the back of the book- The awkward, romantic comedy manga about geeks in love that inspired the new anime! Can a professional man who's secretly a hardcore gamer and a woman who's secretly a fujoshi date without their hobbies getting in the way, or revealing each other's secrets?
Extra-long book includes 2 Japanese volumes!
Narumi and Hirotaka are, by all appearances, a power couple. They're young, good-looking professionals. But they have secrets from everyone but each other: They're serious geeks! Narumi is a fujoshi, and Hirotaka's a hardcore gamer. Their sweet, awkward love story started life as a webcomic before becoming a full-blown manga series by popular demand, and is about to become a major anime series in the work.
Review- A great josei manga about being a nerd and how hard that can make dating and your love life. Narumi and Hirotaka have been friends for years and one day out of the blue, he asks if she wants to date him. This is a very funny manga with some interesting characters. The main characters are both hard core nerds or otakus in different ways but they accept each other as they are. There are silly misunderstandings played for laughs, the best friends are great, and as a hard core nerd myself the humor was on point. One neat little extra in the manga is at the bottom of the pages there are little author's notes about what is going on, on the page, and they just make everything even funnier to me. I look forward to the next volume.
I give this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
