Hitorijime My Hero, Vol. 1 by Memeco Arii
1.0
Honestly, most of the negative reviews for this manga are about the age difference but considering the real “romance” happened so close to the end of the book, my chief complaints weren’t even about that.
This story is confusing. Apparently it’s connected to another series, but that really shouldn’t matter because this book should be able to stand on its own. Especially as a no. 1 in a series. It was confusing. I didn’t remember anyone’s name outside of Setty and the speech bubbles often left me confused as to who was speaking.
The characters were all incredibly immature? Like, sure, they’re supposed to be high school students, but they behaved and spoke in ways that felt more like they were 12 or so? It was very strange for me.
I didn’t feel that there was any real chemistry between the main couple. They seemed to operate within each other’s spaces and that was it. I didn’t get a romance from these two. I was wary at the age gap because of what I read in other reviews but… I hardly even noticed it because of the other issues in this book.
So, not a recommend from me overall. Glad some people really liked it though
