Love, That's an Understatement, Vol. 1

Thank you, NetGalley and Kodansha Comics for an ARC of this book.
I really like how the main character, Risa Amakawa, is written! She's very relatable and I feel like a lot of people who had to be independent from a young age can relate to her. While she comes off as cold and standoffish to most people, secretly she's a caring girl who's just very anxious and awkward. She's very blunt and says everything in a very straightforward manner and it sometimes causes misunderstanding, which she then later stresses over.
The character of Zen Ohira feels a bit stereotypical and bland at first. Oh, a flirty delinquent who is interested in the female lead because she was nice to him once... But as the graphic novel progresses, you see that he's actually interested in Risa because of the disconnect between her actions and her words. He appears to be the first person who noticed her mannerisms are a mask, and he wants to see past it and see the real Risa hiding behind. This manga is a slow burn and I completely fell in love with their cute love story. Also, the art is beautiful, it makes the reading experience so much more enjoyable!
