Kimi ni wa Todokanai.

Description

Childhood best friends. Two halves of a whole. The cool, smart one who’s good at almost everything, and his average, dorky friend who struggles to do anything right—Yamato and Kakeru. Always by the other’s side, but not together in the way they truly want to be. No matter how hard they try, their hearts cannot reach each other.

Cute but dragged on too long

I was enjoying this series up until about volume 5 but I think it should've ended.

It's not bad by any means but I have no interest in continuing it.

Sooo healing ~~ childhood friends! They are both so adorable, Yamato with his secret blushes and Kakeru with his denseness haha it’s such a shame this doesn't have more chapters translated to English, I’d really really like to see what becomes of them. I love them so much, such a great break from reading toxic crappy seme stories!

Well, that was a slightly odd experience. I've read both volumes out in English to this point. After the blandness of the first volume, I expected to just be bored, but I've come out of the second with stronger, albeit mixed, feelings.

For all intents and purposes, it was a standard but cute childhood-friends-and-misunderstandings story. The leaps of logic these boys make to deny the other one likes them are pretty extreme, but there was something to the relationship that I found interesting enough to keep reading. I'll probably buy the rest when it comes out, though it might be the sunk cost getting to me.

The weird thing about this series is that it insists on staying light and fluffy, but the mangaka clearly has a strong untapped skill for setting a tense and heavy atmosphere. It's meant to be cute, but at times it just feels strangely ominous. It doesn't feel like Syundei, who is clearly good at both horror and comedy and sometimes uses horror tropes for comedy. Instead, it seems like Mika wants to emulate wholesome mangakas like Fujitobi, Atsuko Yusen (Deko-Boko) and Harusono (Sasaki to Miyano), but these little dark moments just keep breaking through the fluff. I'm 100% sure that it's unintentional too, but I can't exactly explain why I think that. I just don't think she sees her manga in the same way as it comes off, to me at least.

I can't exactly recommend the manga, Yen Press did a great job but the source material just isn't up to much. Good for the younger crowd, I'd say? The best point was probably the art, it was consistently nice and the backgrounds were good. But if this mangaka ever embraces her secret talent and does a horror or psychological BL, I get the feeling that it might work out in her favor.
