My Thoughts:
That hook alone is a stroke of philosophical genius, providing the exact jolt needed to stand out in a saturated manga market. The art style feels familiar -- classic Kodansha -- which offers a comfortable entry point for readers, but it is the "uhinged" premise that keeps you turning the pages.
The story follows Aimi and Nami, inseparable friends who are currently "fighting" over their oblivious classmate, Kirio. Their rivalry is intense: at one point, they equate the idea of sharing him to splitting a wet tissue. As for Kirio? He has absolutely no clue he is the center of a romantic arms race.
Just as the girls seem ready to give up, a small gesture--an offered umbrella in the rain--pulls them right back in. To see where the absurdity goes next, you'll have to check out Volume 2.
From the Publisher:
Such are the deep, philosophical questions Aimi and Nami, two friends-slash-rivals in romance, ponder as they pull out every unhinged stop to catch the eye of their oblivious classmate Kirio—conducting nightly rituals to entice him into their dreams and listing what they love about him down to the very last organ.
But can their hilarious friendship survive the battle for the heart of this boy who hardly seems to know they exist?
First adapted into a live-action drama and soon to debut as an anime, this rip-roaring romcom will prove once and for all what is fair in love and war—or, if nothing else, what’s fair in love and rock, paper, scissors.
