Wotakoi: Love Is Hard for Otaku Complete Manga Box Set (Wotakoi Box Set)

Description

The complete nerdy rom-com manga between a gamer boy and a girl who reads and draws spicy comics, in a collectible box set including an exclusive sticky notepad! A tall, quiet gamer boy and a geeky girl whose life revolves around yaoi manga are old friends, but when they start working in the same office, they decide to date. It's a relationship of convenience at first, but could it become something more? This manga comedy is now a hit streaming anime! Narumi and Hirotaka are, by all appearances, a power couple. They're young, good-looking professionals. But they have secrets from everyone but each other: They're serious geeks! Narumi is a fujoshi, and Hirotaka's a hardcore gamer. Their sweet, awkward love story started life as a webcomic before becoming a full-blown manga series by popular demand, and is about to become a major anime series! Review: It's not hard to love this series - Box came in perfect condition, including the sticky notes, which are adorable, but I could never bring myself to use them. I fell for the characters of this manga by watching the anime, but the anime only covered volumes 1 - 4 (books 1 and 2 of this box set) and ended just as one of the couples met. The manga has a lot of new scenarios to experience with the three couples, from funny to touching and a little bit of drama from time to time (but nothing that drags on long enough to kill the comedy). My biggest nitpick is that Kabakura never gets past calling Hanako ugly when they fight (which is often), but it all works out so well for them in the end, who am I to judge. Nao and Ko's relationship gets a lot more fleshed out in the manga and as a severe introvert myself, it was good to see how they worked to overcome Ko's insecurities to accept Nao's affection for her. I was most concerned with Hirotaka and Narumi's relationship as it was left in the anime with things being barely different than a close friendship. The ending of the manga ties all that up, though, and I was very pleased with the growth in dynamic for the two. Highly recommended for any fan of the anime or romcoms in general, especially if you're an otaku, weeb, nerd, or geek of any type. Review: Cute, light, fun story. ❤️ - Arrived in good condition. With plastic cover and free sticky notes ❤️ cute story. Fun read
