Opposites attract when a cheerful airhead meets the resident wallflower of his new class in this heartwarming, slice-of-life school comedy series!

What will she do when Christmas comes around and Takada, wondering how his feelings for Nishimura differ from how he feels about the rest of their friends, asks her if they should kiss?

One of the mangas that gave me a feeling of being on cloud nine, I really love this book. 😍
They are cute, sweet, and an aid to my stressful events in life.
I can't wait for volume 4!

As the seasons change, very little else does. Except maybe Hino needing to put something over his tank top. But when you have a steady diet of sugar from Nishimura and Takada, do you really need that much more?
I mean… maybe? It’s not quite that derivative, as Udachi is forced to wrestle with her newfound friends and the possibility of losing them to something as prosaic as her dreams and ambitions.
That’s probably the most interesting storyline of this particular batch, honestly, as it changes the characters but keeps the same formula as Udachi is being pretty obvious about liking Hino and he’s… definitely Hino. His dad made me laugh though - apple not falling far from the tree and all that.
I admire the way this series is playing a bit of a long game even as it keeps doing the same things over and over each volume, with minor adjustments here and there. It is, in addition to the cute moments between our leads, ultimately a story about maturing and kids maybe getting a little better than they were before.
Kasahara, in particular, is growing a lot in the face of Nishimura’s enjoyment of her company after the sports day that saw Kasahara’s return to running. The way this is handled with Kasahara refusing to pick on Nishimura and Nishimura becoming incredibly Takada-esque in her cluelessness was a hoot.
I think that if you aren’t into this series’ vibe you won’t suddenly find this is the radical new direction that changes things. My principal complaint - that these kids are way more into romance than seems likely at that age - remains the same. And we don’t get a lot of variation.
Still, the parts that do deviate are fun. There’s a bomb scare, sort of, that just goes wildly out of control in the way that only grade school imaginations can possibly achieve.
The kids’ teacher also has a moment where he very smartly uses technology to achieve a really charming moment for his class and it’s kind of nice to have a shout-out to what great teachers can do. The whole thing is both sweet and funny.
I don’t think is the greatest triumph in manga, necessarily, as sometimes it gets the grade school aspects just right (the incredibly pointless rival clubs the boys form, for example, is drowning in verisimilitude) and other times it feels these characters are all four years older at least.
But it definitely has its heart in the right place and there are worse things than watching a shy, bullied girl make friends with the help of a well-meaning goofball who probably cares for her even more than he thinks.
4 stars - mildly repetitive, but with a good message and some diversions from the norm that add a little oomph, which is strong enough for me to keep giving it a recommend.

My Clueless First Friend Volume 3 continues the heartwarming, slice-of-life school comedy as the season shifts to winter, deepening the bond between the cheerful, oblivious transfer student Takada and the shy "Grim Reaper" Nishimura. This volume is packed with super cute moments between the two leads, building on their already endearing relationship.
You'll find the interactions between Takada and Nishimura adorable, I can't get enough. A major highlight is an admission of love, signaling a significant step in their relationship and feelings for each other. The series continues to deliver wholesome feels and a beautiful message about loving others, which shines through as Nishimura begins to expand her social circle and even hosts friends at her home for the first time. The volume also features some really cute comedy bits, such as a humorous "bomb diffusing" mission that showcases Takada's one-of-a-kind perspective. (He's kind of a idiot, but in the best way)
For many, this volume stands out as the best in the series so far, thanks to its focus on the deepening emotional connection between the main characters and its consistent delivery of heartwarming and humorous moments. As Christmas approaches, Takada, ever clueless but growing more aware of his feelings, poses a surprising question to Nishimura, leading to an adorable and slightly awkward situation that she thoughtfully considers. A 4.5 out of 5!

Cute (maybe a little saccharin), but ultimately pretty wholesome

Volume 3 Chapters 30-40 Complete!
The field trip was adorable!! ADORABLE! I love the teacher for letting the candy detour slide. The most touching part has to be the friends selfie they all took on the trip. It's really adorable how much Nishimura's dad had worried for Akane in his own way to help her make friends. The way he started to tear up after she sent the selfie was tear-jerking.
I really like Ami-chan and Akane's interactions together. You can tell they are good friends and the misunderstanding was cleared up thanks to being so open-minded on both of their ends. Kasahara's meddling really backfired on her didn't it.. lol.

Comme les deux tomes précédents, celui-ci se divise en dix chapitres. Je trouve ça original, pourtant, ça me dérange. Pour une raison toute simple : comme le manga n’a que 143 pages, certains chapitres sont courts et plutôt inintéressants. C’est généralement le même principe : quelqu’un lance une méchanceté à Nishimura et Takada arrive en prince charmant des ténèbres et la défend. C’est répétitif et le fait qu’il n’y ait pas de contexte m’a saoulée, ça vient comme un cheveux sur la soupe… ça n’a pas de sens.
Par contre, j’ai adoré les longs chapitres. Heureusement qu’il y avait ces trois parties, c’est grâce à elles que j’ai aimé ma lecture et que j’ai finalement passé un bon moment.
