Chapter 41:

[Manga Review] - Shut Up, Takamori!

Am I losing Interest in Writing?


This is my review for a manga called Shut Up, Takamori!

"

Barely scraping the B19 ey? Lol
But it was a pleasant experience. I just need this one question, though.
Why? It's always frustrated me that the story always ended when the two main characters finally came together. Like, it feels good knowing their relationship went better, but it felt like they cut it short. What happened to their lover' lives? Like, are there any challenges that will make them have to grow stronger as a couple? You understand what I meant, right?

But anyway, let's start the review.

How did I find this?
I got recommended by Kito-senpai from a YouTube short.
He made me curious because it has the same theme as Magokoro Scramble! and that's why I had to check it out. I'm pleased that this manga is published on a provider app called MangaUP! I don't need to read this one illegally.

Appealing (Why did I get into the anime?)
The premise itself sounds very engaging. I really need this kind of story because it's so dry. There aren't many that I know of, and I just want to consume a bit of it.

Platform
Like I said, it was published on MangaUP!, but I don't really know anywhere else that provides this manga. Usually, there is a bookwalker version, but unfortunately, this title doesn't appear on the site.

The review;
Story/plot
A girl with telepathic power, who can read other people's minds, encounters someone who loves her so much that he is daydreaming the whole time.
And throughout the story, their feeling actually developed, but as I said, the story ended where they finally went out. It felt like the story was cut short due to the manga not being popular enough. At least, that's my guess as to why it didn't go beyond chapter 20. Such a shame, in my opinion.

Illustration
I love it. The design is so simple and cute.
But I had no idea about this until someone mentioned it on the reply from one of the chapters. The art style changed as the chapter went on. So, I went ahead and checked, and yes, there is a change, but I think it was not as bad. It looks roughly the same, and I can understand that the author was trying to find their art foundation.

Characters
To be honest, the ML doesn't really have character. I kind of... I don't want to use hate because hate is a strong word.
But I dislike the ML a little bit due to a lack of characteristics. He's just your typical guy who is really bland and ordinary.
As to the FL, Minamikawa, she is a very interesting character. How she tried her best not to fall in love, and we can see her thought process of how she does it. It felt very cute. NGL

Proportions of the manga
Two thumbs up. I don't have anything to say about this. I like it.

Conclusion
The good
Glad I could check this one out.
The bad
I want more. Like, I want to see the continuation of the story.

Gratitude
Thanks to MangaUP! for providing this manga semi-free. I appreciate what you provide.

Overall 7.8/10
I would absolutely recommend this manga to the romance manga enthusiast. It's a good manga to read when you want to waste time.
