Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible #1
Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible, Vol. 1
Junta Shiraishi blends into the background so much that even his classmates fail to spot him.
His goal is to make the most of his high school years, but that pesky invisibility gets in the way…until Nagisa Kubo notices him! Kubo’s playful teasing kicks Shiraishi out of his comfort zone and begins a friendship—or maybe something more?
When Kubo sits next to Shiraishi in their first year of high school, Shiraishi’s nonexistent social skills get a boost. Speaking up in class is only the beginning for Shiraishi—soon Kubo forces him to be noticed at school, at the bookstore, and all around town. Shiraishi’s once-lackluster life isn’t so dull anymore!

Shiraishi is practically invisible to the world in all the ways that count, except to his classmate Kubo. She’s here to make sure that everybody knows he exists, which looks a lot like driving him crazy depending on who you’re asking.
Another one of those stories whose heart is in the right place, but where the overall quality needs a little tweaking to really be something great. The seeds of a good book are there, but they haven’t quite germinated.
Shiraishi being so non-descript that he is barely on the visible spectrum to most people is actually a very clever way to take the nothing male lead and turn him into something interesting, so that’s a pretty neat change to lead things off.
In fact, the best jokes in the manga are from his tribulations with things like automatic doors and how his presence being noticed functions as a good luck charm for his classmates. The one guy who sees Shiraishi and takes it as a sign to go pull gacha characters as a consequence was great.
So, the thing is, Shiraishi shows no sign of being unhappy about this, so when Kubo starts throwing herself into his life and reminding people that he might be in the room, it feels a lot like her picking on somebody who’d rather be left alone.
Obviously the not-so-secret is that Kubo is romantically up for Shiraishi, no matter what she might tell her sister, so this is more an expression of affection than anything else. It just has a more annoying tint to it than I feel was intended.
Cue the indirect kisses and teasing and missed signals and stolen glances and occasional boob jokes (all due respect to this story for its incredible restraint in the fan service department, that said). It’s nothing new, really. Even Kubo’s very fun misery of an older sister, who ends up accidentally embroiled in the whole mess, is definitely of a type.
And the problem is that, in a world of Uzakis and Nagatoros, there’s not enough to distinguish it from any other ‘drive the boy you like mad with your antics’ stories. These are all characters you’ve seen before and, sadly, they were done better then. Kubo’s got her moments, but all of these types of characters do.
It’s not without its charms and all, but this is one of those ‘first serialized works’ where you feel that fact before you even read that part of the story. If this was about Kubo coming to Shiraishi’s rescue from a life of being ignored, sure, but what we get is some real ‘same old same’.
3 stars - A for effort, C+ for execution. If you can’t get enough of these types of story, you’ll probably be happy with this. I’ll give it another volume because it deserves it, but this needs a little more work to reach my list of ongoing reads.

I'm not sure how to rate this.
I read the first chapters on Shonen Jump when it was first added and absolutely LOVED it, but this time around I didn't find it nearly as enjoyable? It was fun and I did smile often, but I just couldn't get into it the same.
I did like the main guy though! He's an interesting guy to follow and really liked the chapter with his brother. That was cute!
Kubo was cute as well. The story definitely centers around her shenanigans.
Overall, this was an okay read for me. I'm not feeling the best at the time I read this so I might try picking it up when I feel better. I think those who are looking for something to pass the time and want something that isn't heavy would enjoy this.

I expected much less of this than what I got. Its premise could very easily have gone in a very mean direction, but instead it reads like a girl who doesn't know what to do about her crush on a boy who's so far off everyone's radar that he's somewhere else entirely. It's cute, and there's also some solid humor to be found as Shiraishi attempts to just go about his day-to-day business while being so air-like that not even automatic doors register his presence.

Shiraishi is a background character in his own life. He is so invisible that he never gets called on in class, and people actually sit on him because they don’t realize he’s even there. Only Kubo, a girl in his class notices him. This was cute. I can see the appeal, but this has already been done, and better in other manga.

It’s cute but sometimes it’s a little too sappy for my taste the art works nice the story is kind of cute it gets a little bit tiring after a while without so happy it is they’ll be an audience out there for it but I’m not really in the audience I’m really probably not gonna read the rest of the series.

This was...fine. I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with it, but aside from the adorable artwork, nothing grabbed me. Shiraishi's gimmick was fun at first, but got old pretty quickly. And while Kubo has more depth than Shiraishi, her character got annoying after awhile. I get it, she teases him to hide her true feelings, but that doesn't make her a particularly engaging heroine in my opinion.
This was an okay start to the series, but didn't really grab my attention. Not sure if I want to continue or not. If you want a cutely drawn gag manga, give this a shot.

A bland high school boy who is used to be overlooked is absolutely oblivious as to why the pretty girl who sits next to him in class starts teasing and talking to him all the time. It's full of manic pixie dream girl tropes, but it's cute and done well, with a gentle, innocent, warm and fuzzy vibe.

Thank you to NetGalley and VIZ Media for a free review copy!
I have read so many manga that start out just the way this one starts out. That being said, I enjoyed this one much more than others. There was no insta-love, love at first sight, making out after five seconds of knowing each other, ect. I really appreciate a manga that can take things slow. The two main characters are slowly getting to know each other throughout each volume and I'm really enjoying reading that. I also love all the gag involving Shiraishi not being able to open an automatic door. Best bit in the whole story. I can't wait to read the next volume!

wasn’t really my thing! but then again, this may be a little biased since excessive teasing and romance kind of wears me out, and this is my first anime-type thing. i bet some people would like it though!

It’s cute, but it has vibes like Teasing Master Takagi-san (at least a little bit).

Okay, but this is really cute.

A series I started on the shounen jump app and really got into it, so much so I've continued with the series there while also collecting the physical volumes!
The series is just a nice cute series that I find relaxing to read, smiling throughout.

“I guess I have less presence than most people. I realized it when we took our class photo for the yearbook… and they edited me on because they thought I wasn’t there.”
The shirt with words that don’t make sense together was iconic. This manga was hilarious and I loved all of the funny faces, but I wish it had more of a plot because I can see it getting repetitive.
I don’t think I’ll be continuing.

I feel like I am reading a lot of 3 star manga right now. I'd like to read some awesome stuff but I don't really wanna think or put my heart through something. I just wanna chill.

Solid, not remarkable, start to a fun little slice of life romance comedy. Basically Kubo has a crush on our main character, who's invisible to the world. So Invisible I even forgot his name. But these short chapters ranging from 10 pages to 19 basically have her usually tease him, or help him, and give a nice school crush feeling with humor that improved a lot by the end. The boobs chapter and the cutest chapter with the little brother were great. I'll check out more!

It’s honestly fluff and easy to read, although I will say in the middle it was draggin on so I skipped a few chapters til the near end. I do wish we could see the kiss as I felt the ending was rushed enough. Still it’s very adorable and highly recommend people who like fluff to read it..

Soy consciente de que los mangas suelen desarrollar la historia mucho más lentamente que otros tipos de libros, pero en esta primera entrega no ha pasado absolutamente nada. Han presentado un par de escenas de dos personajes completamente planos.
Ha sido muy decepcionante.

Shiraishi is an invisible guy. Not literally but figurately. People just don’t notice him, or when they do it takes them a really long time to figure out that he is actually there. When he takes his little brother to the park, people immediately think the kid is all alone and start making an uproar. Kids sitting next to him at school barely notice him. They have to look four or five times just to make sure that he really is indeed there. After every class he has to check with the teacher/professor if they didn’t accidently put him down as absent. When he buys something, the cashier will think someone just left an item or two on the desk and left. He struggles mightily to actually prove to people that he is really there.
He himself doesn’t really try to hard to stand out either. He does think and wish eh could explore the joys of youth, whatever that means to him. But he is and feels like a normal, sort of bland type of guy. If only he could get more people to notice him.
And then there is Kubo. An archetypal love interest, she is adorable, smart and popular. Unlike everyone else, she notices Shiraishi. It would be wise to say that she notices him more than everyone else combined. There is an innate curiosity she exhibits about him. She wants to know what the limits of his invisibility” are. It all starts with a few simple and innocent teases. She finally gets Shiraishi to stand up in class. After a few reluctant attempts, he does it, standing up in his chair and kicking his leg out. The teacher, even with his back turn to him, notices him.
What starts out as a tease starts to shape up as a general love interest. Kubo doesn’t realize it yet herself, nor does Shiraishi who is absolutely oblivious to all her teases and charms, at least in the first volume. What starts out as teasing gradually develops into wanting to enhance the life and experience of your crush/beloved. There are so many things Shiraishi didn’t get to experience, even the most mundane stuff. And Kubo is there to change that, with some adorable teasing as well. She will help him get called out by a teacher to answer a question. As bizarre as it may sound, dude never got called up before. In vacuum, it’s a really good skill to have. And so on. She does make one thing recognize him right away, and that is her phone camera!
What really makes this manga work is their connection. The way their feelings progress feels natural and well-paced. There are panels what really bishojo the everything out of Kubo and they are the eye candy of the manga, which in general doesn’t really aspire to some great visual appeal. Shiraishi is drawn in a very bland way, with limited facial expressions, which changes when he reacts to something or does something funny. Him trying to get out of his shell is the backbone of the comedy which is mostly hit or miss for me.
She’s very forward and seems to be more and more interested in being a crucial part of every single aspect of his life. They won’t go there, but there is a very fun twist possibility where she goes fully psycho after he starts getting noticed by others on a much more regular basis.

Some people are extroverts, who project themselves out into the world. Others are introverts, who tend to withdraw from the world. And then there’s Junta Shiraishi. His lack of presence makes him effectively invisible. Ordinary folks don’t notice him unless he directly calls their attention to himself; he has to specifically tell teachers that he was present to get counted on attendance sheets. Sometimes, automatic doors won’t open for him! So it’s a bit of a shock when he gets to high school and the girl sitting next to him in class, Nagisa Kubo, can see him just fine.
Kubo finds the fact that other people don’t notice Shiraishi fascinating, and likes doing experiments to see how far it extends like having him stand on his chair in class. Shiraishi is embarrassed by this, but also somewhat pleased in an odd way. Kubo is the closest thing to a friend he’s ever had!
This is another romantic comedy in the currently fashionable sub-sub-genre of “girl who teases boy.” Kubo comes across less mean-spirited than some of the other examples I’ve seen, as it’s clear that her teasing is mild and not meant to hurt. It’s obvious to others that Kubo is falling in love, but neither of the protagonists are quite ready to admit that’s what’s going on.
The pair slowly get to know each other, and we meet other members of their families. Shiraishi’s younger brother Seita can see him just fine, but his mother sometimes loses track of whether he’s supposed to be in the house or not. Kubo’s older sister teases her, and can also see Shiraishi (so maybe it’s a family gift?)
The volume concludes with a special Christmas chapter. Kubo and Shiraishi make arrangements to meet up, so it’s effectively a date, and exchange presents.
Shiraishi’s invisibility issues are more interesting to me than the stock teen romance moments, which will be familiar to anyone who’s read a few romantic comedy manga. When he’s not dealing with invisibility, Shiraishi is pretty bland. (On the other hand, I can strongly identify with being socially invisible and the loneliness that brings on.) The art reflects this too, with Shiraishi being simply drawn and Kubo appearing in loving detail.
Content note: We see the cover of a naughty magazine. Shiraishi is curious, but does not get to see inside. This book should be suitable for junior high readers on up.
This series is currently available on the official Shonen Jump website, but Volume 1 is in print in English. It’s mildly amusing and may well improve as it goes along. Recommended especially for boys who enjoy the fantasy of having a girl put in the effort to get to know a boy.

You know, I don’t usually like manga that revolve around a boring, average dude who somehow manages to capture a beautiful and charming girl’s attention with his stale toast personality and lackluster social skills—but, I actually like this loser-boy Shiraishi.
Honestly, Shiraishi is far more earnest, adorable, and endearing than the usual suspects. Poor guy has no presence that it’s almost like he’s invisible—to everyone except beautiful and charming Kubo.
Again, usually I’d be put-off by a yandere-lite character like Kubo—but, her teasing is so lighthearted and her crush on Shiraishi seems so sincere and wholesome that I can’t quite dislike her.
This author is walking such a fine line with these two characters and their relationship—veering too far in either direction with either of them could drastically change the experience of this story. Here’s hoping they can keep this budding relationship on the rails!
Anyway, I don’t think you need to go out of your way to read this series—it’s a solid 3.5 story—but, it could be fun. If you enjoy “Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie”, this series has a similar vibe~

*Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for providing an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review*
This is a pretty standard slice of life type manga. Shiraishi has no presence, taken to extremes as nearly everyone even his family forgets about him. Everyone but Kubo, a popular social butterfly he sits next to in class. The story revolves around the two as they interact, mostly through Kubo trying varying tactics to make Shiraishi visible to those around him often to comedic effect. There's not much of an overarching plot beyond this, though it's clear Kubo has a crush and that will come into play later. The art kind of reminds me of Komi Can't Communicate, mostly in how different the two main leads are visually. Anyone looking for something new won't find it here, but it's worth a try if you like slice of life shoujo series. I hope going forward there's a larger cast, it being just the two was a little boring after the first few chapters.

Shiraishi has a problem; people often can’t see him or don’t notice him. The teacher often skips right over him during roll and never calls on him to answer questions. But there’s one person who can always see him and always finds him; his seat neighbor, Kubo. She teases him about his invisibility and tries to “help” him be more seen by raising her hand and telling the teacher he has the right answer, even if he doesn’t. She also tries sitting on him for a length of time to see if other students notice and speak up. Kubo invites Shiraishi to spend part of Christmas together, which is a romantic gesture in Japan. She shows up with a gift for Shiraishi and gives him time to find her one at a shop nearby.

so little characterization - it's hard to care what happens to these kids knowing nothing about them.
and what happens? the boy is ignored by everyone (why? who knows? it's like he's invisible, so it's not a bullying situation) and the girl is always rubbing up against him - she's the only one who notices him all the time and she acts really desperate, although she has friends. maybe she feels sorry for him? no idea. so far he looks at a dirty magazine in a bookstore and the girl's older sister, who works there, catches him and thinks it's funny. the boy gets free tissue from a giveaway. the girl volunteers him to answer a question in class. she buys him a t-shirt for Christmas and makes him get her a gift (gloves because her hands are cold, so at least he was thoughtful?).
art doesn't stand out, which would help.

Shiraishi is one of those people who can completely disappear. Like even automated doors won't register that he's there. But there's one person in his class who can somehow always find him: Kubo. And Kubo loves messing with Shiraishi because she has a crush on him... but he hasn't noticed quite yet.
A cute little romance for an invisible boy and a girl who is the more active partner. You know, something sorta like Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out! but a little... more tame? I guess. It's a nice read so far, but nothing really jumped out at me. The art is pretty, though.
This series has 12 volumes.

Shiraishi is invisible...no really, it's like no one can see him except Kubo. Follow along the journey of these two becoming friends, and maybe something more. Kubo pushes Shiraishi out of his comfort zone in a good way. It's almost like the more he hangs out with Kubo, the more people are able to see him.
I thought this was a cute little read. It is told through a series of short events that happen throughout the school year. This manga has a similar vibe to that of Sasaki and Miyano as far as storytelling goes. The story itself is a slow burn so if that's not your thing, be warned. It's all cute though. No real plot other than these two getting to know each other more. A nice easy read.
I thought this was a cute little read. It is told through a series of short events that happen throughout the school year.

cute. i really like the artwork of the fmc.
only complaint is the chapters are very short and fast paced. it kinda felt like reading the same interaction over and over again with a different coat of paint. mmc feels invisible, fmc interacts with him in a flirty way and mmc ends up flustered. and then it’s that… over… and…over. i’ve picked up the first five volumes from the library, and if i don’t see any kind of change or progression in them, i most likely won’t continue the series since there’s soooo many manga i wanna get to and i enjoy ones with more plot and story than this one delivered in this volume.
