First of all, I will highly recommend this manga to those who are looking for a good fluffy rom-com. And I can assure you that it will definitely be worth your time. The art is mind-blowing. Each chapter has one color panel of Chihara with various fashion designs which was refreshing to see.
Well, without further ado let's talk about the plot. Our protagonist is an average boy[not a mob] who got the neighbor sit beside the Jirai girl. At first, the MC becomes wary because of the rumour of his neighbour Jirai. But he didn't ignore her rather he became friends with her and got ... to clear his misunderstanding. While progressing the story their conversation becomes sometimes more comedic or sometimes awkward while maintaining the sweet fluffy environment. The side characters were pleasant. The development of romance is progressing slowly but surely.
Each chapter is not too long or not too short. Each panel is quite easy to read. So those who are fresh readers can give it a try.

Chihara-san is another slow burn slice of life romcom manga. It follows the growth of friendship between the Female & Male Lead, from strangers, to friends, to romance & with mental insight from each of them.

The comedic and cute moments intertwine naturally with the friendship that Chihara & Kuroki have fostered across the chapters with zero drama. The manga has remained near consistent across the chapters with age & relationship appropriate comedy & characters alongside the overarching friendship of the main lead. That being said, there are a few chapters that drift away with out-of-character actions & comedy and instances of one sided progression ... & character focus; side characters are also sparsely shown, only making an appearance for a joke or providing commentary on the main leads.

Despite some flaws, Chihara-san has provided 85 chapters of zero drama wholesome friendship with romantic undertones alongside simple comedy & swinging my feet in the air cuteness.
I'm excited to see how their relationship continues & what's in store for upcoming chapters. I think anyone who is a fan of slow burn zero drama romance will enjoy this but if you're tired of the "Back of the class girl & boy friendship to relationship with little dedication to anything else" genre, then I don't believe Chihara-san is for you.

This is one of the worst mangas I have personally every read.

Everything is just so low quality I have absloutly no idea where to start.

Let's start with the story, boy sits to a girl that has rumors around her being "dangerous". throughout the entire story, we never see anything that warrants the "dangerous" label, you might say that the characters are being unjust towards her just like in any bullying/singling out trope, but we see absolutely zero reason for her to be left out in the class, this is a sign of weak writing. The author didn't portray in this state inside the class ... because of anything that happened in the past, it's just a shameless plot device for the author to let the main character feast on her alone.
Nothing in this manga will ever interests you, thankfully there aren't many chapters so far so I didn't have to suffer for that long, everything is so typical. Every overused trope in romance Manga is being relentlessly displayed here non stop, at one point, if you have read five or more romance mangas, you will be able to accurately predict what gonna happen in the next page.
There is no actual story to be invested in either, it's your sterotypical loner bozo Mc who the busty Mc slowly falls for, for simply existing.



There is nothing redeeming about this Manga, the art is one of the most mideocre and oversimplified mangas I have personally ever looked at. Nothing has any kind of detail at all. all the characters have 3-4 face expressions that are so recycled that I'm confident I can draw them from memory alone. If there is any effort put from the person drawing the manga, that would be him drawing the main heroine just so he can sexually appeal her, obviously he knew the plot wouldn't get him anywhere so he decided to out some effort into the girls fat breasts. Oh wait don't get me wrong, she actually doesn't look any good or any detailed at all, it's just, in comparison to the rest of the cast, she seems decently drawn.

One of the reasons I really despise reading manhwas is how lifeless everything displayed looks, from character expressions to backgrounds to the non-existing details. This Manga's art in particular was so undetailed that I double checked on whether I was reading a manhwa or not, the art is just that lacking.

As for the characters. The most lifeless overly clichéd characters I've seen. Loser Mc with no friends to exist happens to be next loser heroine with 1 friend only (waow). Heroine is wierd and busty and she becomes interested in the MC the moments he spouts half a word in her face.
