So, uh, you can read the title, yeah? That’s the book. Also your eyesight is better than the main character’s.

First off, let’s give it up for this series having the chutzpah to make a story about Mie, our titular heroine, forgetting her glasses on a consistent basis and being helped by her classmate, Komura. Most of the enjoyment from the story, for me, came from seeing what wild permutations this was going to take next.

By the time this volume is over, her glasses have been forgotten, broken, fogged over, broken again, forgotten again, and there’s even some contact lens work for good measure. It’s probably the most inventive thing for what is basically the schoolgirl version of Mr. Magoo (look it up, youngins).

I won’t deny that it’s pretty cute, and the way Mie has the biggest scowl this side of No Matter What You Say, Furi-san is Scary! without her glasses on is a fun touch, although they don’t do practically anything with that little detail.

Mostly this is an excuse for Komura to get flustered, while Mei flails around. Mei’s just weird enough as a character that she gets away with some truly goofy mannerisms and proclamations and that certainly adds to the fun to be had. Naturally a lot of her antics involve getting very close to Komura physically while the distance between them slowly closes emotionally.

It’s perfectly fine, if a tad perfunctory to boot. These hard focus books about a guy and a quirky girl are pretty much a dime a dozen at this point. And while I’d rather read them than, say, whatever inanimate object somebody is reborn as with level 1000 cheat whatzits, this one isn’t especially interesting. Komura is a nothing character who just exists to be nice. At least in Sakurai-san Wants to be Noticed they put the work in on why the guy was so appealing - they try here but it’s just more of the same, but smaller.

This is that very ‘damning with faint praise’ version of fine and fitfully amusing, but it’s not doing much of anything that would make it stand out in a crowded genre. I hate to bring up ‘exaggerated for effect’ here, but my own glasses are so thick I can see people waving when I look at a map and I’m not as hopeless as Mei is. Watching the ways they set up the hook is a lot more fun than seeing it in action.

3 stars - I’m letting this one scrape by from a 2.5 because it is the spirit of the season. And it’s not a bad story, but if it gets the second book chance out of me it will be very lucky at this point. If you want anything that slots in this genre, however, I think you will enjoy this.

As someone who is basically wearing glasses 24/7, I'm really asking myself HOW it is even possible to forget said glasses. Repeatedly. The entire volume felt ridiculous to me.

I never expected Miss Miyazen Would Love to Get Closer to You, Vol. 1 to have a potential rival when it comes to shonen rom-com cuteness, but The Girl I Like Forget Her Glasses is a VERY worthy contender!

THIS WAS SUCH A CUTE READ!!

I was surprised by how fast I read it, but Komura is so so so adorable and, could not get over his reactions every time Mie would get super close to him (especially when she got VERY close to his face LOL)! Mie was also pretty funny and loved how she would talk like a samurai sometimes because it honestly just added more to her cute charm! Ha!

After reading this first volume, I'm so excited this will be getting an anime! I think it's going to be such a delight to watch on screen!

Definitely recommending this series if you like sweet and wholesome romances with some great art!

What you read in the title is what you get: a nice kid with a crush on an hopelessly cute but dumb girl who at this stage of myopia would probably find a guide dog more useful than glasses.
Of course this is a pretext for "funny" situations where the girl needs to get closer to her blushing bashful lover. Nice but a bit repetitive. How many times in a week can you break or forget your glasses? Also both characters are cute but a bit bland: the shy boy vs the airhead girl, nothing more beyond that.

I’ll generously bump up my initial 2,5* cuz it’s the Holiday Season and all but don’t expect to read this year’s (or the next) rom-com.

[Layla Wong · Rating 2 out of 5]

It was okay. The story plot is exactly as the title says and doesn't seem to amount to anything more. The story just seems to repeat over and over again in a never-ending cycle and it began to be more dull/slower to read. Maybe the coming books may get better but for now, it is just the interaction between an awkward teenage boy and a girl who constantly is forgetting her glasses. The characters aren't very detailed and each depicts only a single noticeable characteristic. Nothing else is really described outside their interactions, which are cute, but it seems as if the world around them is non-existent. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, as there are far better romance manga series to read from.

[Mehsi · Rating 4 out of 5]

OMG this was just adorable! A girl who cannot see without her glasses but still keeps forgetting them and the boy who helps her. There is romance and humour, and the art is also cute.

Longer review to come (not sure if it will be a long long review or just a short review).

[Rereader · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was...fine. I mean, I was hoping that there would be more to the story outside of the literal title, but nope. This guy has a crush on a girl who constantly forgets her glasses. That's it. It doesn't help that the main guy and the main girl are not terribly interesting and have two character traits between them, so their interactions get pretty repetitive and dull after the first few chapters.

I have heard that it gets better as the series goes on, but I'm not interested to continue with it. Give it a try if you want, there's nothing abhorrently wrong, but there are far better slice-of-life romance manga around.

29/07/2022: Phát hành tập 1.

Truyện cute hết sức, từ nét vẽ cho đến biểu cảm nhân vật, cùng những câu chuyện dở khóc dở cười đúng chất rom-com.
- Mấy cảnh Mie dí sát mặt vào để nhìn cho rõ Komura, làm ẻm phải đỏ mặt mà quay đi chỗ khác: 10 điểm.
- Nhiều cảnh khác cũng cute: Thắt dây giày, nắm tay. Kinh nhất là Mie lúc mơ màng tựa người vào Komura trong lớp học. Há há đọc mà cười phớ lớ luôn.

Nói chung là những chi tiết nhỏ nhặt dễ thương được cho vào cuốn truyện này. Dễ đọc và cảm giác dễ chịu. Truyện này cũng phù hợp với con nít nữa nên chắc cho mấy đứa nhỏ ở nhà đọc cũng ok. Mình khá hài lòng.

A little childish

Seriously? She's so near sighted she needs to be inches away, yet somehow makes it to school without turning back for her forgotten glasses. Repeatedly? So dumb.

This was a cute, fluffy read. Nothing too exciting or different for the genre. Still enjoyable though!

[Madison Whitlock · Rating 2 out of 5]

The title basically explains the whole book and that’s it. nothing else happens. The female main character just keeps forgetting her glasses.

[Angelina · Rating 2 out of 5]

I wasn't the biggest fan of this one. It was too repetitive and unbelievable for my tastes but I can see why so many people enjoy this.

Rating: 2 stars

[Sequoia Cron · Rating 3 out of 5]

I can totally relate to the title of this series. The story and characters are very cute but the chapters are a bit repetitive. It reminds me of Komi Can't Communicate. I don't know if I'll read the rest of the series but I think it's worth giving a shot.

Also, I do love the art work.

3 stars

[Jennifer · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute and simple, but with a pretty ridiculous premise (I know it’s exaggerated, but…). As a person dependent on corrective lenses myself, I can say there is no way a person with vision this bad would ever forget their glasses. Nor go to school after breaking their glasses.

[Jillian -always aspiring- · Rating 3 out of 5]

For my first read of the year, this was really cute and wholesome! I can’t wait to read how the relationship between Mie and Komura progresses.

[Aaron · Rating 4 out of 5]

The awkward wholesomeness and frail codependency of early-teen romance knows fewer exhortations of compatibility than an introverted and average guy meeting an idiosyncratic and average girl. THE GIRL I LIKE FORGOT HER GLASSES v1 is a narrowly focused manga drawn with incredible nuance. Its characters are unassuming, but not entirely bland, and the predicaments they likewise encounter are familiar. Alas, Mie forgets her glasses a lot. Fortunately, Komura, prickly with anxiety, is ready to help. Sort of.

Mie is a delightful character. She's kind, pithy, and really likes pastries. She has bad luck, however, when it comes to eye care: forgetting her glasses, losing her glasses, stepping on her glasses, using irritating contact lenses. Her classmates are accustomed to seeing the girl with her nose flat against her textbooks because Mie's eyesight is truly terrible. But to her charm, the girl isn't bitter about this recurring issue in the least ("I know I look angry, but just ignore me. I'm squinting because I have to strain to see. I kinda forgot my glasses today.").

Mie's sanguine attitude is what makes THE GIRL I LIKE FORGOT HER GLASSES v1 such a fun book. In most comics, a girl with perpetual poor luck (as a flaw) will also possess a countervailing attribute or behavior (e.g., passive-aggressive tendencies; false-aggressive arrogance; tsundere disposition) to contrast this tangibly adorable character trait. But in a welcome surprise, Mie isn't defensive or angry or whiny. She just goes with the flow, which is both extraordinarily charming and hilarious (e.g., when he gets stubborn, she speaks with the formal proclivity of a venerable samurai).

Thin premise notwithstanding, the book leans heavily on the perspectives and emotional frailties of Komura, Mie's seatmate. Kaede Komura is a waifish boy who likes helping out others but gets easily, woefully embarrassed when circumstances, against all odds, turn in his favor. Adorably, a little bit of Komura dies inside whenever Mie leans in a little too close to share his history textbook. He enjoys being depended on, which threatens to undercut the book's occasional stride toward self-affirmation and disability awareness, but he's not so arrogant as to presume that Mie needs him. In the end, THE GIRL I LIKE FORGOT HER GLASSES v1 is about relying on others for the sake of support not for manipulation. In short, comfort.

The manga's art is excellent. Fujichika draws the best hands, privileges diverse facial expressions, and wields melodrama to great comedic effect. The art's nuance brings benevolent detail to fussy eyebrow ridges and hands tentatively curling around cellphones. And sometimes it's the reverse, as with pseudo-chibi panels of blasé conversation that turn immeasurably quirky. Komura often worries for Mie's safety, unnecessarily, and tries to protect the girl. As such, dramatic introductory panels for dodgeball, getting caught sleeping during class, or randomly encountering the "absurdly popular class hunk Azuma," usually flare red-hot for a while, only for the whole situation to diffuse a half-dozen panels later, when Mie casually shrugs her shoulders and goes about her day.

Delightful and fun, this comic is regrettably light on secondary characters and doesn't show readers much beyond an array of schoolyard problems. This isn't bad, in context: The manga literally begins during Mie and Komura's first week of high school. But as the story progresses, one hopes and expects Mie to forget her glasses anywhere and everywhere she goes (and for Komura to be frantically blushing as he holds her hand all the while).

Title:The girl I like forgot glass
Author: Koume Fujichika
Genre: romantic comedy, school life, slice of life
Page:128
Volume: 1 of 12
Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


Mie, a scatterbrain, often forgets her glasses, leaving her unable to see clearly. Fortunately, her classmate Komura always comes to her aid. This leads to Komura developing feelings for Mie. The first volume follows a continuous story through separate chapters. Mie continuously forgets her glasses, even stepping on them at one point. She orders new ones, but they won't be ready for a few days. In gratitude for his help, Mie adds Komura on the social media platform "Lime" and asks him to meet her at the train station to pick up her new glasses. When she finally puts them on, she sees Komura clearly for the first time. As their day ends, she has some interesting thoughts about him. Despite her new glasses, she forgets them again. When she arrives at class, Komura notices and is surprised when she speaks in a samurai-like manner. Mie is cute and constantly squints due to her poor vision. She often appears angry, but her dialogue contradicts her expressions, adding a comedic element to the series. She also has a quirky habit of speaking like a samurai, which leaves the reader wondering if she's an otaku or a geek. On the other hand, Komura is a more reserved character. He is the typical good-hearted boy with a crush on Mie. He often gets nervous around her, but ultimately he is a likable character.

Love is blind

A cute and quick story about an absent-minded and sometimes careless girl with vision problems and the boy who was captured by her eyes while his kindness drives him to help her in whatever way he can. Certainly it is a little silly that the girl named Mie accidentally breaks, loses, and forgets her glasses through out the volume but technically there is no time line technically so we have no idea how soon or far apart these moments of blind mishaps occur. The boy on the other hand named Komura secretly enjoys when Mie doesn't have her glasses so he can look into her eyes even if they are a bit squinty so she can see a little better.

Being the first volume there is no real romance though it is clear Komura has feelings for Mie and in time it might be possible she might like him too but in the mean time we are left with a book of mishaps based on the curse of limited sight. If there was anything I might take note of that would be strange it might be that Mie wears contacts at one point and considering her eye sight I don't think contacts would help but then again ocular technology might be different in this world. :)

Komura has a crush on the girl who sits next to him in class, Mie. She keeps forgetting her glasses or breaking them, and to Komura’s joy (and nervousness), she finds him a reliable person to help her out when she’s blind and helpless. But does she do it just because he’s close by, or does she really trust him?

This was really cute and funny. Mie is pretty much legally blind without her glasses, and she obviously needs Komura’s help when she doesn’t have glasses on. The situations she gets herself in without them are pretty funny, and Komura’s mix of being thrilled to help/be near her but also scared to be close to her is also funny. Imagine Lucille Ball as a Japanese teen playing a girl with horrible vision and the situations she can get herself in and you have a pretty good idea of what this is like. I will be interested to see how they can keep this series going without feeling repetitive.

I'm not sure I feel about this.

Komura has a classmate Mie. She goes around squinting because she forgot her glasses. And her eyesight is VERY POOR without them. He finds her squinting / expressions she makes while squinting cute. Which I don't get since she looks angry/confused/lost while squinting. Plus there's all the leaning close she has to do to see him / the textbook. But whatever gets him going.🤷🏾

I also can't understand why she always forgets the glasses since her eyesight is so TERRIBLE without them. How do you walk out the door without your glasses when you are damn near blind without them?!? I forget my glasses sometimes too but I can see fine without them. They are not necessary for me to function as a sighted person. But Mie NEEDS THEM. If she doesn't have them she literally has to lean in sooo close to see what something is / who someone is.

And when Mie does have her glasses she STILL CAN'T see with them. Because the prescription is out of date. She does get a pair with the updated prescription. And she can see!

I hope the next volume is better.

4.5/5

Super short and super cute. Not too much to dislike about it, really, except that it’s the same base story of Mie forgetting (or losing) her glasses and Komura having to help her through her day.

It could’ve felt repetitive (like the first few cheaters of Mr Villain’s Day Off where he had to explain his situation every time) but it actually didn’t because there’s a little procession in each story of their friendship - they go from being essentially just classmates at the beginning to actually being friends by the end of volume 1, so I liked that.

I think I enjoyed it even more because Mie reminded me of Luna from Harry Potter with how spacey she could be, and a bit like my childhood fav - Amelia Bedelia - who was always getting into crazy situations by being absent minded. In this case Mie gets into these situations (like trying to save meat for Komura but saving potatoes in the stew instead or talking to a plastic bag thinking it was a kitten. 😹 )

On the whole, super wholesome and cute and I am looking forward to the other volumes!

Justamente unos días antes del estreno del anime me compré el primer tomo por curiosidad (y porque no pude esperar al estreno del anime) Y la verdad se me hace una historia chistosa puede que un poco repetitiva... Porque la mayoría de veces empiezan con una excusa (a veces demasiado sacado de la manga) para decir que Mie olvido sus gafas. El dibujo es simple pero expresivo y llamativo.
No lo negaré como una persona que usa gafas llego un momento en el que creí que tenía el marco de lentes cuando no tenía los lentes... Pero aun así no sé si me atrevería a caminar por la calle sin lentes si tuviera la misma graduación de Mie (aunque no lo han definido en este volumen)

Lo único que puedo comparar con el anime (porque ya salió), es que el manga se siente más rápido y te presentan sin problemas los escenarios (Se sienten más naturales) ... siento que en el Anime cometen el error de rellenar con diferentes tomas (Muy apegadas al manga) repitiendo una misma frase.

[Sesana · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well, the budding romance between the main characters is cute. Komura's crush on Mie is sweet and he's adorable when she's making him blush. Mie's slowly growing affection for him is realistic and endearing. But the plot is basically every permutation of "I can't see anything without my glasses!" humanly possible, with basically no believability at all. Mie's vision is so bad that it's less plausible that she'd be so constantly forgetting to wear her glasses than if a unicorn kept stealing and eating them. I mean, at one point she can't recognize there's a frog on her shoes when she's observing them from a few inches away. She could reasonably be classified as legally blind, and I'm supposed to believe she gets even a few steps away from her bed without remembering to put glasses on? It seriously distracts from a cute, silly romcom if the basic premise just keeps making me roll my eyes at the sheer implausibility of it all.

[Kenan Avdic · Rating 5 out of 5]

There are 108 chapters as of making this review, and I really don’t feel like making one for every volume released, so I’ll just make this review for everything up to vol.11.

I am not really a romance guy (I am lonely as hell for a reason after all), but I heard that this manga was getting a anime adaptation,and that it was really damn good,so I decided to give it a shot.

I finished this shit in 5 days, this shit goes hard. The personalities of Komura being the kindest kid alive and Mie being a silly little airhead who (believe it or not) forgets her glasses,both of them are adorable and I love them. The Manga also does something that I commend the author for doing: actually letting them become bf/gf. Whenever I read romance manga, I usually notice an immense amount of padding. While this still has some of that padding it has a lot less than other manga.

To finalize my review:I’m in shambles that it’s one chapter per month
