Synopsis

Meet Takuya Seo, an otaku who sits behind the popular gals in class, Ijichi and Amane. Since they're people from different "castes," you wouldn't expect them to have much in common. But when their worlds collide over a borrowed eraser, Takuya slips up about his favorite anime, and Amane...is rather quick to correct him. She says she's not a fan, but her familiarity with the series suggests otherwise. Could she be...a fellow geek?!

Plot
MC is Otaku. He sits behind a outgoing friendly black Gyaru (Ijichi), and often lends her stuff like pencils because she's forgetful. Her Bestfriend is a cold ice queen white Gyaru. MC is looking to discuss his new found favorite anime, and happens to realize that the white Gyaru is also a fellow woman of culture. This starts the friendship of our unusual trio, and slowly the girls start falling in love with our MC as the plot progresses.

Review
To keep this simple, this is an average series. The main appeal is probably the wholesome vibe of the series and some decent (although trope-y) comedy ...

Popular Gyarus loving an otaku -- a concept done a million of times before, poorly or perfectly. To filter out the waste from the gold, there are three things to look to: Plot progression/pacing, character chemistry, and uniqueness. Besides for the lack of uniqueness in the premise, the other aspects of this manga make it worth reading and an enjoyable experience.

Time after time, there are romance mangas that have 50+ chapters, yet the furthest point the fantasized couple has gotten to was hand-holding or an indirect kiss. In other words, most of the chapters are boring and have no direction to the overarching plot. However, ...

I can't say this is particularly good so far.
The art is very sub-par, with some really bizarre proportions occasionally.
The plot extremely weak and full of generic cliches.
Basic premise is the whole "opposites attract" thing, where a shy introvert befriends a pair of apparently more extroverted girls; shenanigans ensue... sort of. Not much really happens at all.
The incrementally building relationships are actually done pretty well, but through the cringeworthy medium of generic romcom manga tropes. It sets up the MC with two girls vying for his affection, but it seems a complete no-brainer of a decision:
One is a closet otaku, sharing the same interest as him, ...
