*ARC provided by NetGalley in return for an honest review*
Plot:
Love, That's an Understatement is a classic delinquent x Studious MC tale. It's precious, fun, and over all comforting to the eyes. Not to mention he loves cats... Big win.
Art:
Another art style I found to be a bit more on the simplistic side for manga, yet perfect at encapsulating emotion and intensity.
Overall:
I would give this a solid four stars. It mimics some ideas that are fairly common in shoujo, yet offers some new insight that I found fun and enjoyable.

I received this manga from the publisher/Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
Kodansha had some new manga up on Netgalley and of course I couldn’t resist this one! Deliquent/punk x girl who has it all together? Sign me up!
The story was fun, and I loved seeing Risa get out of her shell and slowly open up, started asking for help, and show another side to herself. I really found myself rooting for her. I also loved how much guts she has and how she is able to say no in a firm steady way. Or speak to people who most would avoid. She was quite a fun character. I did feel for her though at times, because we find out why she is like this and why she is always carrying that filled to the brim bag of hers.
The romance? It was quite good. In the beginning I wasn’t sure (especially with the saving), but quite soon I found myself rooting for these two. So happy with several scenes. They really do have some chemistry and I love how Zen tries to bring Risa out of her shell.
OK, the saving was a bit much at times, did that guy just stalk her to know when he was needed? It was cute at first, but after a while I was like, eh….
Though that rival dude can F off. Get the hint. No one likes your bullying. And I just didn’t get why he was so obsessed with Zen and his group of friends. It just got so weird at times.
The art was really good, I love the style!
But all in all, I did like this one and I would love to continue it to see if Risa and Zen get any closer. I mean with that ending? Things will have to happen!

I had such a fun time reading this! Both main characters are incredibly interesting and lovable - their chemistry is amazing, and the pacing throughout this volume is perfect. I really didn’t want this volume to end. It’s an easy 5 stars from me! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is so cute and funny!! I love the main characters and their little quirks and the way they interact, the plot is simple but the charm of the characters and their chemistry just leaves me wanting more. As far as I’m concerned Fujimomo is the queen of shoujo romcoms, she just keeps outdoing herself.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley!
This manga is so refreshing and enjoyable. We have characters with actual depth to them, art that is beautiful and a plot that is paced really well. Risa is a great MC and in just one volume I was really drawn in to wanting to know more about her and see how she continues to grow and come out of her shell. With past trauma's and the burden of being forced to grow up/act responsibly too soon (something many of us also deal with) she has been left being very shut in to herself and feeling like if she CANT do it on her own then she is a failure. This is something I think so many people can relate to in one way or another. Zen is also a character with great depth as there is much more to him than what your first impression would lead you to believe.
Their connection is very genuine and built slowly in a healthy way. Too many manga rely on physical attraction, insta-love, etc to get the romance going and that's what makes Zen and Risa very refreshing.
I cant wait to read more volumes of this one!
