چونیب یو اصطلاحی عامیانه در فرهنگ ژاپنی است و به رفتارهای اغراق‌آمیز و گاه خجالت آور نوجوانان سیزده چهارده ساله گفته می‌شود.
در این داستان، یوتا توگاشی، پسر نوجوانی است که به‌واسطه نمره بالایش در درس ریاضی، توسط معلمشان مامور می‌شود تا به یکی از همکلاسی‌های دخترش به نام ریکا تاکاناشی در درس ریاضی کمک کند تا برای امتحان جبرانی آماده شود. ریکا در امتحان قبلی صفر گرفته بود!
ریکا به خاطر ظاهر و رفتارش از دانش‌آموزان خاص کلاس است. او چشم بندی روی یکی از چشمانش می‌گذارد، صلیب می‌اندازد، دستانش را باندپیچی می‌کند و عموما لباس مشکی می‌پوشد. یوتا در اولین برخوردها با ریکا، متوجه می‌شود او به چونیب یوی حادی مبتلا شده و چشمانش را نگاه حقیقت شیطانی می‌داند. یوتا که قبلا خودش به چونیب یو مبتلا بوده، تلاش می‌کند تا بتواند با این شرایط به ریکا کمک کند.

کتاب در زمینه نشان دادن بحران های نوجوانی تا حد خوبی جالب و جذاب عمل کرده ولی اصلا فضای داستان و کتاب با فضای ما نمیخواند.

A truly spectacular light novel which differs so much from the anime. I am pleased to say the light novel is far superior to the anime. The story was great, pacing was excellent and seeing a different side of the story than what was animated made me appreciate this light novel even more.

A cute romance with not much point to it other than being cute. If you're really into light novel tropes or are a fan of the anime adaptation of the series it might be worth picking up, but there's not much the average reader would get out of it.

Pretty good, but the anime is 10 times better.

The book is very different from the anime, each one tells a different story. The book also has fewer characters and it is mostly focused on two main protagonists. The creators of the anime have added more plot lines suitable for animated media. But the book has one romance line without major branches. I can not say it is good or bad, it is just different.

And for the light novel it is good. I can not say how good is the romance part, but I have seen much worse. The main background for the story is a school. Two protagonists meet there and start their relationship there. They meet other people in the school, but not much. It is good to show the contrast between different types of relationships, though some dialogues are too long. Well, maybe some of the characters really have this manner of speaking, but I don’t think I can have long conversations with real people like this.

Also the good thing is that the story looks real, like it can really happen somewhere in a Japanese school. I haven’t found any major plot holes there.

I can recommend this story for anyone who want to look at the original source for the anime, but if you are ready for the different experience. The book doesn’t retell the story from the anime and the anime is only partially based on the book. You can even thing of the two alternative universes, one is the book universe, and another one is the anime universe.

I can also recommend it for people who like novel about school romances with Japanese flavor. Or maybe just about school romances. Or about Japanese daily life.

The story follows Yuuta Togashi, a high school first-year who had an embarrassing middle school life, because he suffered from a syndrome called chuunibyou. While it's not an actual mental disorder, it causes you to believe that you have nonexistent magical powers, which led him to do many humiliating things that he now regrets even thinking of. However, he encounters a girl who has the same syndrome he did, and even worse, she seems to know his dark past, which he would rather not have anyone else know about. So he becomes friends with her to help her raise her awful grades and see what he can do about curing her chuunibyou. But some people along the way aren't making that easy for him, and looking back at his own case, he has to wonder, is chuunibyou really that bad? I really liked this book because I share a few points of view with it. It shows that being just like everyone else isn't the only way to enjoy yourself in life, and that the mentally unstable can have even more fun than someone who just goes with the flow of society (guilty!). As long as you're having fun, you shouldn't let other people make fun of you for doing what you enjoy. I'd recommend this book to anyone who's looking for a romantic comedy that's a bit more comedic than romantic. Also a good pick for somebody who likes stories with great character development and bonding.

Short, sweet, and cute. Also marks the only light novel I've been able to read to completion. There's something about the genre, about the way they're written that make me give up after twenty pages. Making that worse, most likely, is the fact that books don't "flow" that well when they're translated without accounting for making the language work in the target language.

Anyway...the basic elements of the story are the same as in the anime. The story itself is very different, though. Honestly, the anime does a better job of telling the story and fleshing out the characters. We spend a lot of time in Yuuta's head in the book, and almost nothing about Rikka (aside from being lonely) and Nibutani, whereas in the anime, each is rounded out more fully.

Still, I'm reading the second one now, which says something, I suppose.

After watching what became my favorite anime of all time, I had to go and read the light novel. Every moment that I spent reading the book I had the same reactions as I did watching the show. It really is just so cute and romantic and I won't get bored re-reading this book every once in a while. It's unique in its way of using 'eighth grader syndrome' to build the main characters. At times it even reaches out to me, reminding me of my embarrassing moments I've had back in my younger years, which really helps me immerse myself in this story.

Can't wait to read the third and fourth volume when I find the translations for them.

Wow, I thought the anime was a blatant rip-off of Romeo Tanaka's Aura, but the studio actually made substantial changes to distance themselves from Tanaka's work. The novel, however, is a blatant cut-and-paste, but Torako isn't good enough to make it even a decent knock-off. It's just guy-meets-girl, they spend time together, minor drama and then love.

bagi yg sudah nonton animenya coba baca novelnya .Banyak karakter original di anime ga ditampilkan disini dan unsur komedinya ga sebanyak di anime tapi dari segi 'romance' banyak lebihnya

worth lah untuk dibaca diwaktu senggang

[Lottie Eve · Rating 2 out of 5]

I can't read much more of this... The anime was fantastic, and after reading the light novels, the anime adaption looks like a masterpiece.
