Lovesick Ellie, Vol. 1 by Fujimomo, Fujimomo

4.0

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.
