The first pro I'd mention about this manga is the fact that its art is extraordinary. The second pro is kind of subjective, but it's that it has one of the best endings ever.

The only con I'd point out is that it doesn't do anything remarkable, as one of the reviewers mentioned. Everything in this manga is pretty much what you'd find in any romcom.

This last part is also subjective, but I've enjoyed my time reading this. It might bore someone who tries to finish it in one go, since it isn't meant to be binged, but I personally enjoyed reading its chapters on a ... weekly basis.

Adorable manga. I'd say the pros are the extraordinary art, coupled with the fact that the plot is really unique for a romcom. The story is about two nerds who start liking each other and how they navigate their newfound feelings.

Since they're always at the top of their classes, as soon as they start liking each other, their grades begin to decline. The manga is basically about how they try to balance their relationship by limiting flirting and physical intimacy.

I'd say the only two cons are the fact that it's short as heck when it could've had more chapters without feeling milked, in addition to ... the fact that even though the ending wasn't bad, it wasn't that satisfying. Recommended, though.

The last two comments I'd like to make are that this manga ain't a josei whatsoever, in addition to the fact that it contains very explicit sexual scenes. It didn't bother me, but I wanted to point it out so that nobody gets surprised.

Since I didn't find a single pro about this manga other than its art, I'll only list its cons. First, every scene from the first panel of the first chapter all the way to the last panel of the most recent chapter takes place in the same room.

I don't know whether it's the heroine's house or the protagonist's house, but I don't like that because it just feels like lazy writing to me. In addition, it takes a lot of life out of the manga, in my opinion.

Secondly, the plot neither makes sense nor is it interesting. All the main characters do is try out ... sex positions without actually having sex, so the heroine can get an idea of how each position would look and draw it.

Because she apparently can't draw without doing all that. Aside from being a very boring premise for a manga, it's dumb as heck in 2026, when you can literally just look up sex positions.

Lastly, and the thing that made me drop this in addition to being what I hated the most, is the fact that they're so indecent even though they aren't a couple. It's like neither of them has any shame, especially Rei, the heroine.

I get the horny protagonist, but I don't get the shameless heroine, Rei. I can't read something when I don't like its characters. I know she'll never do that, but she should reflect on her actions.

She's reducing her worth and value to the level of garbage under the excuse that she needs to do that in order to draw her manga. I think I've said all that needs to be said about this abomination of a manga.

A masterpiece of its own seinen kind. First pro, the little, beautiful flowers of romance are extraordinary. Second pro, the drama messes you up so badly, especially after getting attached to certain characters. Let's move on to the third pro.

The suspense. Of course, the cliffhangers aren't always anything crazy, but sometimes they are, and when they are, you'll be so interested and curious to see what happens next that you'll be forced to wait to find out.

Putting the three pros aside, the first con I'd mention isn't really a con for me personally, it just might be for certain people, so I'll make it crystal ... clear. This manga isn't afraid, not even one bit, to kill off a character you love on a whim.

Lastly, I'd say the second con is something that I personally don't like, which is the fact that some mangaka divide their manga chapters into parts. I don't like that. It throws off my tracking. This manga does that, unfortunately, but oh well.

Masterpiece of a manhwa. There's depth in each and every single character, from the heroine, to her love interests, to her siblings, to her parents, to her friends. Each character has their own backstory, their own goals, and their own problems.

Putting the depth aside, the plot is really interesting. Not because it's unique, since it's just like any political romance story with multiple potential love interests you'd find anywhere, but because it's executed masterfully.

Speaking of the plot, I'd also like to mention another pro of this manhwa, which is that even though it's only a bit slow, it really pays off. The heroine has multiple ... goals, and you'd think she'd accomplish them near the finale, but nope.

Little by little, she succeeds in her goals one at a time, which is really cool, satisfying, and rewarding to see. The only con I'd mention is the fact that it changes a few details from the original source every once in a while, but nothing major.

Like, nothing so significant that it would alter the plot. They're just details that slightly change how we see some characters. Anyway, I think this review has gotten long enough. I think I've covered all the pros and cons. 100% recommended.

I was recommended this manhwa by a friend who's a sucker for romance like me, so I read it, and I do not recommend it. The reason is that the genres and themes are completely different from what the comic is actually about.

First and foremost, which is the biggest turnoff for me, or red line or whatever, is that it's a crossdressing manhwa. I don't care about the fact that she's forced to disguise herself. Disguising oneself in comics is usually a common trope and is often done well.

That's not the case here. The heroine is disguised as a male for most of the manhwa, ... and if it's for MOST of the manhwa, that already labels it as a crossdressing manhwa, even if that isn't the main focus. That's just my personal perspective.

Crossdressing aside, the second turnoff, or red line or whatever for me, is the fact that there's no romance at all. I kept reading and reading but found no trace of romance.

Of course there isn't any romance. How could there be when the heroine is crossdressing the whole dang time? I asked my friend about it, and she tricked me by saying that she only does so for the first few chapters. That was a lie.

Overall, the manhwa starts off bad for the first 20-25 chapters, gets spectacular until around chapters 40-45, then goes back to how it was from chapter 45 onward. I've been tricked, and I regret the time I spent reading this. Don't repeat my mistake.

Best thing I've ever read in my life. Psychological romance comics are rare. Psychological romance Korean comics are even rarer, which is why, even though this one has such a unique and rare theme, it still executes it perfectly.

I'm not really a reading-type person at all. I usually lean more toward manga than manhwa, and this still managed to become my favorite comic ever. I used to think nothing would ever beat Solo Leveling for me.

Of course, I know some people think Solo Leveling isn't even that good, but even though I'm not much of a reader, I managed to finish all 200 chapters in ... just four days, reading 50 chapters a day. I usually get bored of reading pretty quickly because I have high standards and a short attention span, yet I was able to do that with Solo Leveling because of how much I liked it. I was able to catch up with this one pretty quickly too because of how good it was.

A genuine masterpiece. I wouldn't say it's too difficult to read in terms of disturbing content, since I've read Plaything, which is several times more disturbing than this, but it definitely isn't for everyone. I think it's perfect, but I know not everyone will feel the same. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone under eighteen.

Not because it's the deepest comic ever or anything, but because I feel like anyone below that age probably wouldn't fully understand why so many things happen, especially why the heroine is the way she is and why she does what she does. She's a very complicated and complex, yet realistic and likable character.

Personally, I think this manhwa is perfect. I don't just think the heroine is perfect, the side characters are too. Every single character gets enough screen time for you to really get to know them. Every single one has their own backstory. Not a single character feels cast aside or thrown away. I'd say the only flaw this comic has is that it doesn't have enough chapters, because it was so good that I caught up in less than a week, despite it having 137 chapters, which isn't a small amount at all. I 100% recommend this to anyone over eighteen who's into romance comics.

Just finished this manga. It was one of my favorites. As a fun read, I'd definitely recommend it. The reason I said I have mixed feelings about it is because of how rushed and disappointing the ending feels.

After 300+ chapters of harem buildup, the protagonist somehow ends up as the only one still single while everyone else gets a soulmate. The ending also feels either rushed as heck or like a cheap copy of Naruto Shippuden's ending.

I'd also recommend this to people who don't care much about whether an ending is good or bad. Personally, I can't read something if I know it has a ... bad ending, even if the series itself is a masterpiece. That's just me.

Mixed feelings about this one. On one hand, the first dozen chapters are incredibly interesting and would hook anyone into the romance genre for various reasons. On the other hand, it gets really boring later on.

By "boring", I don't mean that it's actually dull, but rather that the heroine starts changing in a way I personally didn't like. It ain't that the change is objectively bad, it just shifts the story away from what originally made it appealing.

Her original goal, which was the most compelling aspect at the beginning, gets altered. Once that's gone, what's left feels like a standard, generic, cliché fantasy romance you ... could find anywhere, whether you're watching an anime or reading a comic.

Other than Reincarnated Beauty Reiko Netora, I think this is the only genderbending work of fiction that includes a love polygon element, which is super unusual but still very interesting, in my humble opinion.

The heroine is really likeable, even with her simplicity. She's portrayed as a bit clueless, which might be funny for a boy, but since she's a girl, it comes across as pure, cute, adorable, and innocent. I really like her.

I wouldn't say this is the best thing I've ever read, but it ain't bad, it was really fun. I'd say the only flaw is the lack of supporting characters, but there are ... still enough for the plot to move forward, so that's about it.
