If you like romcoms, this is a must read.

A fine mix of romance, comedy, and sensible drama. The running gags never get old, the story is original with plenty of twists that are difficult to predict, and the characters are likeable. Read if you like your romcoms with lots of comedy, good amounts of romance, and occasional sprinkles of drama.

Also, 10/10 alone for the facial expressions.

An interesting read

This is a great comedy harem manga with actual plot development and interesting enough characters. They don't really stray from their set personalities, but their relationships change over the course of the manga. The art is unique, clean, and fun to look at. It isn't amazing or groundbreaking, but it's enjoyable, hilarious, and worth the read if it's what you're looking for

A study on the uniquefication of clichés...

Jitsu wa Watashi wa is quite a long read, but it's worth it. As some have already stated, it hangs a bit in the middle, but it never gets as bad as some others.
What I noted the most about this series is Masuda's skill at constantly surprising me with the twists and turns of this manga. He employs many clichés and then goes and wrecks them in ways that stay fresh right up until the end.
The ending itself is quite satisfying, yet somehow I can't think of more to say about it.
As far as comedies go, this is one of the best.

It has a harem but the characters and art are superb. This has one of my favorite art styles out of the many manga's I have read and that alone makes it stand out. It is genuinely funny and the main character is very likable. All the supporting characters are vibrant and develop as the story progresses, especially Mikan who I hated at first but later grew to love. It is one of only a few mangas that starts out good but keeps developing and later becomes great! I would recommend it to anyone who wants a light hearted story that will make you laugh.

10/10

Well... more than the word "awesome"... "Refreshing" would probably be a better fit... but well lets just say that its an unexpectedly refreshingly awesome manga !
Lovable protags, sweet plotline, ticklish fun humor and awesome side characters !! This manga's so very definitely worth every second of my time when i am actually supposed to be completing a long overdue year-end assignment which can make/break my career ! XD

For more than half the chapters is just an okayish monster-girl romcom that works if you enjoy the girls, but adds nothing to it.

Then suddenly the series finds it's own core and fom that point on, start working on it's themes in a great way, gives a excellent denouement for all plot-poits, superb closure for all the characters and a perfect ending.

If you're patient, you'll be rewarded.

I hate harem but this is funny, really funny.
I love the comedy in this manga and the way the facial expressions are drawn has had me laughing out loud more than once.

The romance is irrelevant. The main guy is your usual wuss but for some unknown reason I do not hate him. Just too funny to hate anyone in this manga. It's comedy gold.

Its good fun!
The art style is kinda unique for a romcom but they're still pretty nice.
I love how all the different...'peoples'...are mixed up in their world, and their 'twists' are hilarious.
Jolly good fun~

... Shiragami *nosebleed*

I started reading this today, it's still too early to make a call since there are only three chapters available. First impressions is that the start of it feels really refreshing. The characters so far are likeable. I don't know what is it with the art, it's really charming and cute, especially with Shiragami it's hard not to like her.

It kind of reminds me of Karin, with the whole keeping a secret thing. That's not a bad thing either, I'm hoping to read more <3

My chaps

Chap 86

I really like the 120 chapters, like 126, cause they focus on the Shiho and flesh their character out even more. Which is nice
Chapter 127, 128 are great examples

I really like the 140 chapters they flesh out the boy character like alot, i like how he used to be a deliquent but now is honest and kind

140,141

152

Ok honestly, it was good until it reached the last 20 chapters or so, at that point i was skimming, i found myself not enjoying the manga as i read it, i was finding myself focing myself to read it. I finished it, but i cant exactly put my finger on why i did find it trouble some to read. I guess the reason why is it felt that there were some characters who got some chapters for themselves whom i believed didnt. Like for exampl both the glasses boy guys, hopefully u guys know who im talking about, like those two tbh felt very unecessary, heck i dont think the back story was justified for the one glasses guy. Xue to that i felt like it was a pain to read, i wished theyy had more moments of the femc. Cause the different artstyle they used for certain moments were so good. I also wished there was more of shiho, it felt like
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
her love for mc was foced, dont get me wrong, i like her character as she is hot, and she also likes mc, but i thoiught they were going to balance out her late confession by having more chapters dedicated to her. They could have done more with her character tbh.
actually, now that i think about it, the reason why a bunch of characters are barely fleshed out is there are way too many characters. And the importance they place on one chatacter during a chapter is not enough for me to sympathize with them

I also hated the principal lady. Like goddamn she was annoying. I get it, ur a devil, but she was legitametly being annoying. Even the good deeds she did werent making her less annoying.

Regardless the artstyle is fantastic imo
