どうしたら幼馴染の彼女になれますか!? by 矢坂しゅう

funny lighthearted tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

That was … so anti-climatic.

The first half was great, really! Sweet, and less awkward, them just being together. 

But then … what should've been a climax, was pretty much a rejection.

As much as I love melancholy, I did not like this. That was so off-putting, that I straight up stopped shipping them. And when there was a verbal confession at the end … I felt nothing. Niente. Nada.

Maybe the author wanted the confession to be realistic. Maybe it was never supposed to be the cliché romance. And hey, for a change, that is good! And yes, I love going off the norm. Today, however, it did not work for me.
