I wanted to keep this short but I need to relieve this headache somehow.
Colorful cover and pretty art aside, this manga is creepy, dumb, and nonsensical. The gist of it is that Chino calls out Kouhei for following a woman, Kouhei apologizes and says it's all a misunderstanding, Chino believes him...and ends up being the new target of Kouhei's stalking. Not that bad so far, but what makes the manga irredeemable for me is how Chino, a street-smart former delinquent, is kept as dumb as possible so that the plot can continue.
Take your pick of the batshit things Kouhei does, that would make me run for the hills: breaking into Chino's apartment, pouring coffee on his bed (while Chino is laying on it) in a fit of jealousy, pinning Chino down on the bed, trying to force a kiss on him, popping up randomly closer and closer to Chino's house and passing it off as coincidence, having the most obvious deranged stalker stare in the universe. And what's Chino's reaction when Gotou, his friend and source of common sense, rightfully calls Kouhei a stalker and warns Chino to be careful? "He's an EX-stalker, he's fine, he's harmless, he can't have done that". Because Kouhei feeds him sweets.
Now imagine me doing the biggest side-eye in the world. Like in the meme with the monkey puppet.
Example of affront against common sense: "wow, I wonder why this guy, who was accused of stalking just days before (which I personally witnessed), is kissing my foot now, and yesterday pushed me down and tried to kiss me. And why does his room somehow look identical to mine? And why does he know my name and address despite no one telling him about it? Who knows? Not me! It's fine, he's just a bit strange!"
And there's more dumb crap
with the woman Kouhei was accused of stalking. Chino thinks that she's Kouhei's ex and yells at her to be THANKFUL that Kouhei is so obsessive and creepy because it means he cares about her. Because Chino is jealous of her...right after Chino himself called Kouhei disgusting and told him to piss off (atta boy, but of course it doesn't last — common sense has no power here). But hey, it's OK — because it turns out that she's just some random woman who'd lost her pouch, which Kouhei picked up, and Kouhei would rather've been called a stalker because he was shy that the pouch had tampons in it.
Are you as confused as I am? Good, because there's more! When Chino's friends (one of whom is a police officer!) tell him that "hey, bro, dude, hermano, we didn't give him your name or address, this asshole's stalking you for real!", Chino decides he's in love with Kouhei and rushes to his apartment, banging on his door to tell him that he actually was happy being stalked. Which ends up being for naught, because Kouhei was actually at Chino's house, hiding under his bed for half a day.
[Chino:] "I wish you also liked me [how I think you liked that girl that wasn't actually your ex]" - my brother in Christ, he licked your foot. This is giving me the willies again.
You know what...in the end, both of them are weird as hell and deserve each other. Best writing ever.
