How much are glasses costing in this world bc ain’t no way she be breaking or losing them this much if you had to drop hundreds of dollars on them.

And here you thought they couldn’t keep this premise going! Oh, was that just me? Mie’s blind, Komura is lovestruck, on it goes.
Uh, yes, so, I mean, there’s something to be said for the ongoing commitment to the bit, I suppose. This is cute, but a more derogatory use of cute than I typically opine when I’m reviewing manga like this. Mie should probably be failing all her courses and been abducted eight times by now.
This series just doesn’t have much of anything to it minus the cute. The author smartly points out that it’s not like this occurs every day, merely being snippets of our leads’ school life, and Mie is some kind of savant when it comes to losing or destroying eyewear. It nearly sells how much this repeats itself.
Which means that it’s… just like the last volume. Komura pines for her and there are some vague hints that Mie likes him, although this definitely appears to put the lie to my idea that she’s doing this to get closer to him.
Komura’s an absolute nothing of a character and that makes it a bit of a thing when the story is almost entirely focused on two people, one of whom is a dud. Mr. Magoo Wants To Get Closer To You this is not.
We see Valentine’s Day, White Day, and a bunch of… ‘I’m worried about my weight’. So it’s not like there’s a ton of creativity either, minus how much effort is being put into keeping that premise aloft.
If you need a bit of a hit in the cute category, you could do worse, and I’m not saying my time with this was awful. However, in the burgeoning pantheon of ‘a girl and a guy’ hyperfocused manga, this one is nothing on a lot of the others we’ve seen released lately.
Part of the problem might be the very short chapters, as seeing them all crammed into a single volume really drives home the repetition, whereas having space to breathe over a week or more would let them get a little space from one another.
Honestly, the story I want to see is the one of poor Mie’s parents. Glasses aren’t cheap and she must be costing these poor people an absolute fortune in replacements with the amount she goes through.
3 stars - I mean, I’ll be back, but it’s hardly a genre stalwart or anything. If you’re after a low-calorie, predictable read, this fits the bill and that should give you an idea if it’s for you or not.

There are so many gimmick series out there at the moment, Komi Can’t Communicate, Vol. 1, My Dress-Up Darling, Vol. 1, Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible, Vol. 1 and Tomo-chan is a Girl!, Vol. 1 to name a few.
So why chose this series, well it's simple really, the rest have goals that go all over the place whereas this solely focuses on our leads and building their relationship. It's quite cute, the story seemed to be progressing quite quickly through the first half of this that the second half had to include more people just to slow the couple. I like it and you can tell it's going to be a short series but if you like the rest of the series mentioned, it's worth giving this a go.

Mask when wearing glasses- yep, been there!
That chapter, the one about new glasses and when Mie realizes just how close they are when desks are together is cute. Love that she wants to help Komura!

Another cute one! But we’ll see if the shenanigans get old.

So silly, but endearing and fun.

Yay for the newest Humble Bundle! Now I can read 2 more volumes of this one~ *dances* This was another fun volume with tons of hilarious mishaps (girl, just wear your glasses, stop trying to act like you are just fine), funny moments, a dash of romance and tons of blushing, Valentine's Day, and more. I really love that the chapters are short, it works perfect for this manga.
It was so much fun and I really enjoy both the characters and am definitely hoping that one day one of them does that first step of confessing.

At some point, Komura should really get his blood pressure checked. Given the number of times the young man startles himself or is rendered fruitfully incapacitated after being surprised, embarrassed, or disoriented by the cuteness of his seatmate, Komura's life expectancy may be called into question. Regardless, THE GIRL I LIKE FORGOT HER GLASSES v2 builds on the awkward kindness of the series' initial volume and tracks Komura and Mie's friendship into the winter months.
Part of the secret and charm to this manga rests in how each and every episode focuses on Komura's particular brand of freak-out sentimentality. Nothing makes sense because anything can go wrong at any given time. And yet, everything is still okay, because in high school, everything is relative. Being too affable, appearing too callous, worrying about social graces — panic is a very common flavor to Komura's youth.
Notable chapters in the current volume include the occasional interlude spotlighting Mie's brand of brazen cluelessness, as well as Komura's numerous failed attempts to tell the sweet girl how he truly feels about her. As for Mie, the girl's general lack of awareness frequently results in hilarious exchanges in which her pragmatism chills an otherwise energetic conversation. Some examples are adorably subtle, as when she accidentally orders black coffee from a vending machine, she opines, "The world is full of pitfalls, huh?" Other examples are more obvious, as when she strolls through a candy store with Komura in early February, sans glasses, and spies a pyramid of chocolate: "Can you tell what this is? It looks like . . . a king's tomb or something?").
THE GIRL I LIKE FORGOT HER GLASSES v2 is still plenty awkward and charming and full of characters who are too nice for their own good. It turns out the class's pretty boy, Azuma, is secretly rooting for Komura. And Mie's friends, while relegated to the background, manage to offer up decent context for a good laugh (e.g., Mie refuses help when she can't read the packaging on her lunch; one friend retorts, "Why're you so weirdly gung-ho about it?"). The manga continues to rest comfortably in the realm of feel-good comics about characters who deserve all the world has to offer, but are frequently too preoccupied with their own oddness to realize fate is secretly on their side.

Title: The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses
Author: Koume Fujichika
Genre: romantic comedy, slice of life,
Pages: 144
Volume: 2 of 12
Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
In Chapter 17, readers are introduced to a common scenario of a crush delivering a love letter, only to have it end up ignored on the ground. Mie, the main character, happens upon it and decides to pick it up. This plot twist sets the stage for the classic trope of school students and love letters to unfold. While this may not be a major improvement from the previous volume, there is a definite shift in the humor in Volume 2. The series heavily relies on the readers' enjoyment of the mild interactions between Mie and Komura, with few new characters to add to the mix. However, the ones that do appear only serve to intensify the comedic elements. Take, for example, Exhibit A: the misinterpreted not-love letter that Mie delivers to the popular boy in class, Azuma. Or Exhibit B: when Someya puts Mie's glasses on Komura, causing him to feel dizzy and creating a hilariously awkward situation. Mie, completely unaware of the situation, moves to intervene when Someya mentions Koumei's name. Meanwhile, Mie starts to come to terms with her own feelings towards Komura, though she is unsure of them. The two are still in the friendship stage of their relationship, having only known each other through class seating arrangements and Mie's forgetfulness. Koumei, on the other hand, is already in love with her but is not ready to confess. As readers, we can see where this is headed, as these romance manga typically follow a certain trajectory. However, it will be interesting to see how long it takes for the two to officially become a couple. Until then, the manga will continue to blend character development and humor, with the latter showing improvement in this volume. The challenge for the series will be to maintain a consistent level of humor while also further developing the characters.

When I showed my husband the cover and name of the first book he said “wouldn’t that be kind of a one trick pony?” and I’ve noticed a lot of manga do these themed short books (Way of the Househusband, Mr Villain’s Day Off, etc) that go on for many issues without much change to the main plot - but that’s why I’m enjoying this one a lot!
Even though the main joke is Mie forgetting her glasses, it’s clear there’s a progression to the main story of their friendship and mutual (secret) crushes. We also learn a little more about them in school along the way in the background.
I didn’t really like the bit about Mie being so concerned about her weight and Komura calling that “cute” because I don’t think that sets up a good precedent for younger people reading this, but it is something a girl her age might be worried about so at least it’s realistic. (I didn’t like it being called “cute” though).
On the whole, I’m excited to see where the next 9 volumes go. Based on the covers it looks like there might be more forward momentum in their relationship!
A silly note: I do find, as glasses wearer myself), that Mie’s constant squint when she doesn’t have hers causes my head to hurt in sympathy sometimes. 😂

The series is cute. Mildly entertaining. Alas, the schtick of Mie forgetting (breaking, losing, having them stolen....) her glasses has already gotten old after two volumes. If my library gets more I'll probably at least look at a third volume, but I hope that there is more to it than I've seen so far. It is cute and sweet, but just how many times can the same girl have something happen to her glasses?

3.5 cute, slice of life, youthful manga.
Nothing too much is gained from the second volume. We get a little more traction from Mie which is cute. Komura is still crushing hard but is keeping his feelings to himself because he is scared.
Overall, not much substance, but 100% cuteness. Great for kids.

another cute story and addition to this series, I think it's cute how oblivious Mie is to everything. This volume took place during Valentine's & white day, so we see both Mie & Komura be shy about giving each other treats, even just as "friends". Komura seems to be thinking about telling Mie how he feels but I don't think that's gonna happen for a while yet based on how shy he is about it.

I am enjoying this series way more than I probably should. It is just so pure and wholesome. Nothing really changes in the premise and it's going through a lot of the usual rom-com tropes but I am still having a lot of fun with it.

Cozy love story
Decided to read this after reading the anime. Super cute quick read. It's about a girl who forgot her glasses and asked a guy to help her out. 3.5 stars would recommend

One would probably say that because Mie forgot her glasses a lot, it would take away from the story, but it didn’t. Anyone who understands would figure out that she forgot her glasses because she has a crush on Komura, too. She was cute, funny, aloof, and in a world of her own most of the time. Komura was a nice, kind, and highly gentle being with a very strong conscience. He couldn’t even touch her shoulder without being ashamed of what her dad would say without getting permission. This is a truly wholesome manga and perfect for kids getting into manga.
I loved the art style. It’s as cute and endearing as the story and characters. It focuses on the importance of being there for those who need you, pressures of being near a crush, and the inability to express one’s feelings without knowing for sure they are reciprocated. Poor Komura though. He was suffering (in a good way, I think), but I think he should tell her soon, or he might explode. His health has to be suffering holding all his feelings in.

J’avais hâte de découvrir ce nouveau manga de chez Nobi Nobi et le premier tome m’avait beaucoup plu. J’avais hâte de pouvoir me replonger dedans avec ce second tome. C’est vraiment le genre de lecture que j’adore parce que c’est sans aucune prise de tête, c’est une lecture, douce, drôle et légère, parfait quand on a envie de passer un bon petit moment tout agréable. Ce second tome est clairement dans la lignée du premier, on continue de suivre le quotidien de Mie et Komura.
Dans ce second tome, pour ne pas changer, le cœur du jeune garçon est mis à rude épreuve par sa camarade qui n’hésite pas à se rapprocher de lui pour y voir plus clair. La St-Valentin approche à grands pas, l’occasion parfaite de créer du lien… à première vue !
C’est encore une fois un tome plutôt drôle que l’on a ici. Ce manga c’est plus une succession de petits moments entre nos personnages, il y a tout de même un fil conducteur en fond mais c’est plus un enchaînement de mise en situation. Ce genre de manga ne me dérange pas, au contraire, de temps en temps j’adore lire un manga avec ce genre de construction. Chaque chapitre nous offre une petite mise en scène et c’est drôle. Mie oublie toujours ses lunettes, elle passe plus de temps sans qu’avec même.. Quand on la voit froncer les sourcils comme ça, elle donne l’impression d’être méchante alors que pas du tout. J’attrape mal au crâne à force de la voir plisser des yeux comme ça, vraiment je ne sais pas comment elle fait! En plus, quand elle ne les oublie pas il lui arrive de les casser, la plupart du temps dans des conditions assez grotesques, par exemple en sautant en sport ou en s’endormant. Komura me fait beaucoup rire, il est souvent si décontenancé par la présence si proche de Mie à ses côtés. Le pauvre va en voir de toutes les couleurs en plus puisque la St Valentin approche! J’adore cette habitude qu’ont les japonais, offrir des chocolats à ceux qu’on aime je trouve ça adorable. Et si on en a reçu, un mois plus tard on doit en rendre. Ce duo Mie/Komura me plaît beaucoup, ils me font rire et en même temps je les trouve vraiment adorable. J’ai hâte de voir le prochain tome!
Un second tome dans la lignée du premier. C’est une histoire drôle, légère, qui vous fera passer un moment très agréable. Pas de prise de tête et que du bonheur. C’est souvent le cas avec les titres de chez Nobi Nobi d’ailleurs. J’aime les histoires pleines d’action mais j’aime aussi ce genre d’histoires calme et paisible. En tout cas je suis déjà impatiente à l’idée de retrouver Mie et Komura!
