"You're so weird."
This book was hilarious! I originally picked this up randomly on a dopa-mining manga buying spree and I'm thrilled that I did!
Essentially, this series is a Shojo parody and while poking fun at all of the genre's usual tropes, we are also watching a sweet romance develop. It was definitely over the top and eccentric, in the best ways possible, which had me cackling (very elegantly, of course) for most of it.
I appreciate that the author doesn't take themselves too seriously; if the manga itself isn't proof enough, I suggest taking a look at the author note. The fun they had making this series is clearly translated into the foundation of the story itself. With so many funny moments to keep you entertained (honorable mention to "those things" and the slice of cake stand-in) it doesn't take long for the story to really start moving.
I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys chaos, as well as Shojo and isn't afraid to poke fun at the things they love while in good company.
