Comedy-Gold. Der Manga ist so witzig xD, warum er ab 16 ist, keinen Schimmer - hier kommt keinerlei Sex oder so vor.
Tashiro ist ein ultra introvertierter Manga-Nerd, der statt schüchtern dreinzublicken, einen ultra Killerblick drauf hat. Und mit einem Missverständnis vergrault er Ebihara, in den er eigentlich verknallt ist. Das löst sich schnell auf und beide arbeiten dann more or less in einem Mangaclub zusammen, während Tashiro weiterhin sehr ungeschickt versucht Ebihara zu sagen, das er ihn mag.
Die Grundstory ist eigentlich nix besonderes - aber der ganze Umstand "Mangaclub, Nerd, Ebihara cosplayt als seine Lieblingsgamemädel" usw. - machen es so witzig. Vorallem zeichnet der Autor SO MEGA ÜBERTRIEBENE Reaktionen, dazu kommen dumme Wortwitze, super awkwarde Szenen, Missverständnisse usw.
Ebihara hat übrigens null Bock auf irgendwelche Annäherungen, weder von Tashiro noch von Handsome-kun, der dachte Ebihara sei ein Mädel wg. dem Cosplay. Und macht das lautstark kund :D die ganzen übertriebenen Sachen sind so zum schießen witzig. Vorallem weil das Cover es gar nicht zeigt.
Mehr Comedy denn tiefsinniger BL. Ich hab echt richtig Spaß damit.

When a socially-awkward, highly-introverted otaku kohai falls for his affable yet easily startled Senpai and has no filters while expressing his affection, it leads to one helluva adorable BL manga.
The art style was a bit different than what I have gobbled up in recent months but there is so much chaotic silliness happening and so much honesty being conveyed in an unexpectedly endearing fashion that I can’t help but look forward to the sequel.
Forever rooting for you, sweet child Tashiru-Kun.

à la couverture, j'avais une toute autre idée de l'histoire mais j'ai été très agréablement surprise ! j'ai beaucoup ris. les personnages sont originaux et drôles et le style de dessin ajoute à la comédie !

THEY'RE SO CUTE AND SO FUNNY i know for sure the mangaka enjoyed drawing exaggerated expressions of the characters. i like the dynamic of tashiro and ebihara because every interaction of them is humorous && i like their blushing faces BABIES

This was a lot funnier than I was expecting.
In same ways, it's more of a joke manga, with heavily caricatured art and exaggerated situations...but with an undercurrent that's oddly sweet.
It all begins with a misunderstanding, with Ebihara thinking he's being mugged for his wallet, only to discover that (a) the guy is the newest member of his childhood best friend's manga club (b) he was simply trying to hand Ebihara the wallet he'd dropped (c) Tashiro is actually a very socially awkward but rather nice guy who's very much in love with him.
I was surprised, too, by how quickly the confession happened, but it makes it fun because there's no buildup of tension, miscommunication, or questioning intentions. Tashiro makes it very clear - a few times - how he feels, and Ebihara simply has to decide what to do about that reveal from someone who's still pretty much a stranger. But whom he has a surprising amount in common with and who's actually pretty fun to be around...
I wasn't expecting a love triangle to form, either. At first, I was swayed by Sega's handsome face, thinking that this might be a situation where I'd be torn about the endgame. But really, at least so far, his face is the only thing he's got going for him, and he's going to age out of that anyway. He's still a fun character, and a good way to push Ebihara into realizing the difference between very shallow, physical-driven attraction, and whatever's going on with Tashiro.
There isn't any backstory yet, although it's pretty obvious that Tashiro joined the manga club because of his attraction to Ebihara. Ebihara is convinced they've never interacted before the wallet incident, which may be true, and which makes me curious about what made Tashiro interested in him to begin with. They do need to talk about that more, especially with Ebihara's insecurities already cropping up as he freezes Tashiro out for a while because he was convinced Tashiro was simply using him as a stand-in for his favorite (female) video game character.
The reality is that Ebihara kind of hit the jackpot with Tashiro. He's not only obscenely wealthy - and humble about it - but he's utterly devoted to Ebihara. And considering the fact that Ebihara's already been okay with both the idea and the action of kissing Tashiro, there aren't a lot of obstacles left for them to begin dating. I can't say the chemistry is fully there yet, but it's developing, and that'll be fun to see play out more.
The only part I wasn't totally on board with so far was the drunk, pushy Tashiro scene near the end of this volume. It went in the typical BL tropes direction, which felt unnecessary for this particular story, but also against the way Tashiro had been written the rest of the time. Being drunk doesn't change your personality - it just removes your inhibitions and makes you more true to yourself. So that scene, while meant to be another layer of humor, just didn't work so well for me.
Otherwise, though, this was a very fun and kind of refreshing story. Hopefully since this is an animate international license, they'll get the rest of the volumes, so I can find out how the story unfolds from here.

Im ersten Band lernen wir Tashiro und Ebihara kennen, die beide an derselben Universität studieren. Tashiro hat so gut wie keine sozialen Kompetenzen: Er weiß nie so recht, was er wann sagen sollte, und bringt Ebihara dadurch immer wieder in unangenehme Situationen. Gerade diese unbeholfene Art macht den Band aber sehr unterhaltsam und sorgt für viele lustige Momente.
Schon im ersten Kapitel verrät Tashiro versehentlich, dass er in Ebihara verliebt ist – einfach, weil er ohne nachzudenken drauflosredet. Ebihara weist ihn zunächst zurück, doch die beiden begegnen sich im Manga-Club immer wieder, wodurch sie sich langsam annähern.
Der Band lebt von dieser Mischung aus Humor und leiser Romantik. Tashiros Unsicherheit und seine Tendenz, Dinge einfach auszuplaudern, machen ihn zwar chaotisch, aber gleichzeitig auch sympathisch. Zwischen ihm und Ebihara entsteht eine Dynamik, die neugierig auf die weitere Entwicklung macht.

Too short for me but everything seems ok. Cute couple. If this is an ABO then that "Handsome-kun" must be A, Tashiro is B (cause somehow I feel like he's kinda clingy with Handsome-kun (sry id remember his name). Lastly, Ebihara is O.

Definitely check this out if you're sick and tired of BLs that are all the same story with a different coat of paint.
This manga pokes fun at many traditionally beloved tropes established in the BL genre while wearing its love for them at its sleeve. It's a comedy manga at its finest, the art complements the writing, the pacing is hilarious and all the characters are loveable in their quirkiness.
There's many incredibly specific jabs at the doujinshi and cosplay industry, and could only be written by someone who deeply loves and has lived within the communities that make them.
This manga is a labor of love through and through, but the author is never too precious with the story or characters to not call them out on their flaws and misdeeds!

I kinda loved this it was cute and flirty and I'm enjoying all the characters and the relationship dynamics between the love interests but I'm really disappointed from the almost non con " he was too drunk" bull&£ from black haired guy . And disappointed the author chose to include this when the whole time it was preaching the opposite ? But imma keep reading and hope it doesn't happen again bc this manga made me giddy ngnl . Oh also I'm just a bit... idk if i'm reading too much into this but am a bit weary of the designs of the non main characters

Absolutely loved this manga! It was so funny but at the same time very sweet! I like the characters personalities a lot! They each have their own issues to deal with! Tashiro-Kun is just so adorably awkward but protective and thoughtful of the MC’s feelings! I really really enjoyed this series and will be flowing up on volume 2! Thank you author for such a refreshing manga! ❤️❤️

Tashiro es la mata de la incomodidad y la ansiedad, pero aún así, es tan cute :(
Ebihara es un tsundere que te hace reír(???), sumamente denso, y hasta patético en ocasiones.
Esa mezcla suena como una tortura, pero no hay nada más alejado de la verdad. Son lo más tierno del mundo !! Los momentos cómicos son 10/10 <3 No esperaba reírme tanto.

Tashiro is actually big on consent.
There was one scene where he kinda 'talked about it' with the 2nd ML.
And also this other scene with Ebi
I'm not sure about what way of thinking you have
Or "If it's an accident it can't be helped"
If this were also an accident
Would you let it happen?

Morí de ternura una y otra vez con lo tontos pero lindos que son los personajes principales. Que viva el amor 🥹
Y encima, hace mucho que no me reía TANTO leyendo un manga.
Peak comedy, verdaderamente.
