dinnureads's review against another edition

I received a copy of this manga through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Our main heroine is an “invisible” but sweet girl who spends her days tweeting about fantasy romance with a boy who remarkably resembles her attractive and popular school mate. When said school mate starts to notice her it is a start of something wonderful but also frightening.

This review will be for the whole series; read at your own risk!
Read 5 volumes
This is so dang cute!!!!! I really like seeing both Ellie and Ohmi learn how to open up and fall in love. I can’t wait for a kiss! It’s so cute!
Edit 4/26/22: Ohmi even broke my heart a little. Glad it got cleared up and I’m curious about this other boy. I wonder if he’s the account that harassed her?
Edit 6/21/22: This is so cute and I like how Ohmi and Ellie kinda balance one another? And this new boy is strange. He's the mean twitter account, but how will Ellie handle that and is this leading to a love triangle??? Hmmm

My review is also on my blog.
I guess I was in need of some fluffy romance, because I devoured this in mere minutes!
Lovesick Ellie follows the story of high school girl, Ichimura Eriko (Ellie), who has a crush on the school's perfect handsome boy, Ohmi Akira (Omi). Instead of pursuing his attention like other girls, she fantasises about him by tweeting under the name "Lovesick Ellie". At the same time she found out Omi's true character, he found out about her tweets of him.
It's sort of a cliche: loner girl, befriending the popular guy, but both characters were so refreshing to read. Ellie was unapologetically a pervert with her fantasies, and it's funny how Omi kept calling her a pervert yet he was unable to stay away from her. Omi's character is a perfection in front of everyone else, but he was snarky and selfish when in front of her. It's not to the point that his words would be harmful to Ellie though. There were parts where it can feel cringey, but I'm a sucker for cute romances anyway so I still had fun!
Both of them end up being comfortable around each other, but also embarrassed about their feelings as well. They're very easy to love and I like that Ellie managed to come out of her shell bit by bit, even befriending a new person all on her own. Compared to Ellie, I think that Omi didn't have much growth in this one—other than showing his true self to Ellie—but I believe that's being saved for future volumes of this manga.
Lovesick Ellie is a sweet and hilarious story, and I hope I can follow the story of Ellie and Omi more soon! Many thanks to Netgalley and Kodansha for the chance to read this book in exchange with my honest review.

I’ll just post the review up to volume 4 in this one post! I kinda plowed through them, so I don’t remember what happened in what volume.
This is a cutesy shoujo manga. There are some tropes involved. Awkward girl Ellie falls for school heartthrob Ohmi. He’s prince-like around everyone else but tsundere around Ellie since he knows her secret. Ellie tweets her fantasies about Ohmi and Ohmi finds out, and so he’s comfortable showing her his true self. Romance ensues, with tons of misunderstandings between the two, and romantic progress takes awhile since they’re so awkward around each other.
Ellie is frequently called a pervert, but I just don’t see it! In the beginning, with how much the word pervert was thrown around, I almost expected a B Gata H Kei ecchi direction, but it’s firmly in the shoujo category. More than half the things she fantasizes about is totally innocent.
It’s a cute read that draws out the romance perhaps a bit too much but it’s still entertaining.

What a strong start to an adorable manga series!! Ellie is precious, painfully shy, but also has a secretly naughty Twitter account where she pretends she has a relationship with the most popular boy in school, who of course discovers this secret! I can’t wait for this story to continue on!
