The best part of this manga is the MC, Waku. He's the typical passive wimp you see in every other series. He’s awkward and anxious as hell, but the man has massive backbone. Watching him force himself into uncomfortable situations because he genuinely wants to help someone else is incredibly rewarding. He gets flustered and makes mistakes, but his maturity and willingness to step up make him one of the most likable leads in the genre.
The chemistry works so well because it's built on these two just being awkward together. While everyone else idolizes Oura as some untouchable model's sister, Waku couldn't care less about that. He sees her for who she actually is, which lets her drop the "cool" persona and actually joke around, even if she still can't smile properly to save her life. It’s wholesome as hell seeing them get better at social interactions together, and the comedy lands perfectly because it comes from their genuine awkwardness rather than cheap gags.
At only 18 chapters, the pacing is flawless. There’s zero filler. Every chapter pushes the character growth or the relationship forward with sharp dialogue and decent art.
Overall its a strong 8/10 for now with easy 9 or even 10/10 potential for the upcoming arcs and developments
