Madoka insisted she wouldn't get a crush on Shikura-kun. But she can't contain her feelings for him and ends up telling him that she likes him! Shikura-kun's reaction is hard to read, and Madoka runs away before he can respond, making things pretty awkward... But then Shikura-kun tells her he doesn't want her to avoid him?! It's not fair to send mixed signals like that! What will become of these two now that Madoka has confessed?

Madoka said the thing, then she walks it back a bit and her life continues with Shikura. But suddenly a boy shows up at her doorstep who is literally torn from the pages of her cute boy magazines. Then a rogue fireworks festival appears and it’s everything you’ve seen a million times, except it isn’t.

This is undoubtedly the sharpest series released since the high-wattage dialogue of I’ll Win You Over, Sempai! in terms of manipulating genre tropes to its own end or having far more fun than should be allowed with them. It shows what’s possible when the writing is good.

With Madoka backed against the wall trying to retract her confession - she’s trying hard not to be every other girl who hounded Shikura - she develops a serious communication disorder that does make her a little less confident than she was last time.

And when magazine boy appears out of nowhere AND happens to go to her school, you can see the rivalry flaring as she must confront the thing she always desired versus her burgeoning affection for a nitwit. The whole thing just writes itself…

So when he turns out to want… to be her friend, sees how much she’s into Shikura, offers her advice, then largely vanishes from the proceedings, it’s the kind of welcome shock that most stories like this never manage.

Then the yukatas are out in force for the festival, but this ends up being fairly adorable. Whatever cliche you put two characters in can work if they themselves are interesting and that is indeed the case here.

From Shikura’s puppy dogging over the most random food to some solid real talk and his stepping up to the plate a little, this is so dang enjoyable. Especially when Shikura encounters a girl from his school and there’s a solid moment there that 100% doesn’t need to exist but makes the story better for it.

The dialogue is sound, though Madoka is much less forward than the first volume. Still, she remains much more take charge than many heroines and better for it. She messes up, gets dismayed, but she pushes through on what she wants.

Shikura continues to be equal parts hapless and also hamstrung by his emotions. He certainly has no trouble being clever, but honest is a different matter. He really gets that Madoka’s not like other girls and he even apologizes again for how much of a butt he was at the start of the series. He is a legitimately interesting male lead, which practically puts him on the endangered species list.

There’s a fundamentally solid chemistry that makes these two work and, yes, some miscommunications crop up, but they aren’t all the same old same and more often than not these two push ahead on things that some books would take multiple volumes to resolve.

Of course, it isn’t perfect and the book does wobble a bit when it is indulging in those hoary old ‘avoiding the problem’ beats, but it moves on from them pretty quickly. In at least one instance this gives way to a set of wonderfully frustrating running gags, the series having maintained the great sense of humour it had in volume 1.

4 stars - oh, but I gave it 5. I was literally having the absolute worst day when I went to finish this one up and I was smiling within two pages and I just can’t discount any story with that sort of power. It’s a real keeper.

4 stars. Cute but slowed down a bit from the pacing and enjoyment of the first. Still very readable and enjoyable, while being interesting with pretty art.

This is still super adorable while still being a great example of how I think we're seeing shojo manga evolving.

My new favorite series. Slice of Life.

He's beautiful and the young ladies are doing a bit too much all the time. This causes him to be standoffish and be suspicious of every encounter that has to do with a girl. It's actually sad because he doesn't get to live peacefully.

He gets a part-time job at a restaurant and the boss' daughter starts to win his trust little by little. It starts off rocky but when she makes it clear she doesn't want anything to with him, he starts let his guard down enough to get to know her.

It's too cute. I love it.

So grateful that the author didn’t drag the crush out.. Madoka seems like a straight forward character. I like that she understood her own feelings pretty quickly and told Shikura. I just wish there was more of a plot going on besides the romance?? It seems empty…

I didn't enjoy this one as much as I did the first volume but it was still solid!

Having a third person to act as a jealousy trigger for MMC is nice. I'm petty. I like the quick easy drama haha.

RECAP: She confessed and then played it off and then starts avoiding him like the plague. He notices. A cutie shows up at work and she fawns over him because he's a model in her magazine. Offers to walk stranger to station and MMC says he'll go too. When they drop model off, MMC lies and says he lost his keys to walk her back home. (ADLKFJAL;FK) Then more stuff. Yukatas and fireworks. Ends with a heart to heart.

Band zwei wurde direkt nach Band eins inhaliert. Die Panels sind sehr groß, sodass man das Buch schnell durch hat.

Madoka hat sich versprochen, dass sie sich niemals in Shikura verlieben wird, schließlich vertraut er ihr scheinbar nur, weil sie nicht romantisch an ihm interessiert ist. Shojo-Mangalesende wissen, wie erfolgreich solche Vorsätze eingehalten werden.

THE ROMANCE IS ROMANCING. The amount of confessions in this was insane. And Shikura😍😍😍😍 He knows the sidewalk rule, pretended he forgot his key to walk Madoka home, notices when she acts different around her and feels relaxed around her. JUST😭😭😭😭😭. He is the cutest. New shoujo man crush. The next volume is about to go hard

Super cute, but UGH cliffhanger endings! 4, I want to read the next one, stars.

Ps-has the fireworks and sick MC being tending to by the love interest tropes. Next up? School festival, lol!

Okay I'm loving this even more now. I love the fact he asked her to give it some thought and his character is so far consistent and that his being clumsy and scatter-brain isn't overdone. I love her being straightforward, honest and assertive too ❤️

So cute as always !

The drawings are still amazing ! I laughed a lot in this one. It kinda had the miscommunication trope that I'm used to in shojo (and that I hate) but it didn't drag out too long.

Also, the romance is just so cute, I loved it !

You’re my cutie is adorable it’s a sweet love story between Madoka and Shikura-kun. Madoka is obsessed with younger guys falling for older girl manga. So when her dad’s new employee happens to be a younger attractive guy she can’t help the attraction. However, Shikura-kun isn’t like the guy she expects and instead it’s her bringing him out of his shell.

I picked this one up as a whim and ended up staying up late to read all 5 volumes that are out. This one is lovely the relationship is sweet and both characters complement each other. I hope we get more from the series. The artwork is as lovely as the story. The author did a beautiful job creating a captivating story.

Segueixo sense entendre per què té tan bona nota... És una història d'amor entre adolescents en què la noia té més empenta del que és habitual i el noi és un tsundere cute amb molt de recel envers les noies i el ritme per algunes coses és més ràpid (per exemple, declaració). Més enllà d'això, em sembla una història poc interessant i no gaire original en què el conflicte se centra en els malentesos per falta de comunicació... :/

I enjoyed this second volume a lot! Madoka confesses and now she’s trying to cover up the fact that she confessed. Then Shikura is trying to get her to be normal with him again, even though it takes some time, it happens. But then, when seeing the fireworks together, new feelings blossom, maybe Shikura is starting to like Madoka too. I’m really happy with how it ended, they were able to talk about their feelings and now we have to see what Shikura answers.

This sweet shoujo manga continues with Madoka's growing crush on Shikura, and with Shirkura himself becoming aware of his own feelings.

The growing relationship is slowly growing between the two, which I enjoy, as it's not fast-paced, allowing them to each realised and come to terms with how to act in front of one another, which is both very cute and awkward.

I look forward to the next volume!

This whole volume was miscommunication after miscommunication, but I think once everything gets sorted out it’s going to be cute. That is until Koga inevitably decides he has feelings for her too…I can already see that coming. This is probably a 3.5 star volume cause I really can’t decide, but I do like the way the series is going.

This was more rushed than it needed to be.
If you're like me and were waiting for the trope of an aloof guy SLOWLY opening up to the female lead —which is why I picked up vol. 1 in the first place— you may not love this volume.
With that being said, I still find the story very heart-warming and the art is as pretty as ever ♥︎

Having read till book 3 of this series (You're my Cutie) I can unceremoniously say that Koga-kun is just taking space and doing nothing important in this manga. Nor to use him as a character that causes jealousy in the main male character he serves.

This manga is loving fast I feel like how are there 9 volumes but this ended on a cliff hanger so I will read the next one but I don’t see how there is more than three volumes right now. There really are o Lu the two main characters.

ถึงนอจะอายุมากกว่า แต่ก็ไม่ได้มีผลหรือแสดงต่อคสพเท่าไหร่(ณ ตอนนี้) นอเป็นฝ่ายเริ่มชอบก่อนและจีบพอ ออ รู้สึกไม่ค่อยได้เห็นเท่าไหร่(ป่าววะ) กำแพงที่พอมีในเล่มแรก ในเล่มนี้คือไม่มีเลย เป็นคสพที่จะเร็วอยู่ แต่ก็ยังพอเห็นพัฒนาการตัวละครอยู่บ้าง
