Read the whole series.
This is very emo/goth 2000s, also very campy (not sure if accidentally or planned).
The fact that 20 years later we have words like aromantic and asexual, which were not very widespread at the time this manga was written, kinda sorta recontextualizes everything that’s going on here and makes the attempts to make the protagonist(s) fall in love even more hilarious.
But it also gets very repetitive and there is no real progress, neither for the character development nor the plot, which is a little frustrating after almost 150 chapters.
A fun, nostalgic read for me nonetheless.
