Based on the common gimmick of "I can read the mind of the person who likes me" Takamori-kun wo Damarasetai!! goes exactly how you'd expect. Very run of the mill short but sweet fluffy high school romcom. The only things holding the series back are its relatively short length and the female lead's reluctance to change her mind until far too late in the story. There's many series where one of the leads takes way too long to realize their feelings, but usually this is shored up by a slow burn story. Here, it feels like there's just not much story left by the time ... the female lead realizes her feelings. Additionally, her reason for denying her love of the male lead is pretty dumb. Now nobody is reading romance manga for the realism, but it just kind of feels weird that her reason for not liking the male lead in the beginning boils down to "he likes me and thinks about me which makes me flustered". She never really explicitly says that she dislikes him, yet continuously tries to find ways to turn him down just so she doesn't have to hear herself be complimented. She is given the easiest layup ever and chooses to spend most of the story trying to swat the ball away. By the time she actually tries scoring, the game is over. All in all, an ok manga that's good for you to pick up if you're looking for a short and cute romcom that doesn't require a lot of investment.

this manga for you if you want
- a short romance manga
- fluffy romance with no extra dramas
- loads of insulin and awkward moments in public while reading ( which i experienced)

this manga not that much unique , the plot is simple but the characters are the main plus point in the manga .
but their relationship progress smoothly with blend of comedy and romance.
its just have few characters , but their characters are well given.

i would definitely recommend this manga , its just a short 20 chapters but its gets ended soon could have gone longer , but if you are looking short manga ... go for it , its worth the time.

Nothing so special about this manga. And maybe somehow you could choose to read or not, but I guess the possibility of not reading this manga is higher than reading it.

In general, I gotta say this manga is a solid 6.5/10, but if you want to be more critical, 5.5/10. Here are some of my gentle comments about Takamori-kun wo Damarasetai:

- Art: 6.5/10, nothing really shocking. It's normal, or not to be so plain. Both the mains are not so "beautiful" as I would expect. Anyway the art is not really a major thing to be considered, so...
- Plot: 7.5/10, quite interesting. There has ... been a lot of mangas following the path of "someone can read their mind and somehting unexpected happen", like Spy x Family for instance, or some weird mangas I read some months ago about wife can read husband's mind or main reads tsundere mind. But to be honest, this kind of "theme" like this hasn't been really that popular yet, so that's why it's interesting somehow for me to see them, for the curiosity.
- Storytelling: 5.5/10, quite boring. I didn't expect too much, and I was right. Slow development, but the way the mangaka describes it isn't that interesting even a bit for me. No big shocking deal somehow, all the things I could guess from the start. I don't say that other mangas in this type are boring, too, but this manga really lets me feel down, as it's too repetitive, I guess I have to wait until 20th~30th chapters are published.
- Enjoyment: 6/10, still decent to enjoy.
- Side stuff (fan service, side characters, imouto development, etc.): not yet, so I'm not judging here.
( +1 for the imouto btw )

After all I can't judge too much, but for now, it's quite solid for me that I would give this manga a 6.5/10. It's fine, after all, and it should be in your own list (though I guess you wouldn't appreciate it too much)
