Fujita

The awkward, romantic comedy manga about geeks in love that inspired the new anime! Can a professional man who's secretly a hardcore gamer and a woman who's secretly a fujoshi date without their hobbies getting in the way, or revealing each other's secrets? Extra-long book includes 2 Japanese volumes! 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!

I did not feel for the characters which docked the rating down a point. this would probably be more enjoyable if I was an otaku (mega weeb) but, as I am not, this was good, enjoyable, fun, light read, but not grand. I will be reading the series.

Probably the cutest and most relatable manga I've ever read

I have seen clips from the anime and thought that the premise was cute but I ended up not enjoying it. I was hoping for and expecting a bit more of a storyline. This book just throws the characters into dating when I couldn't tell any kind of chemistry and then tells slice of life stories with characters that don't make sense together.

Can a professional man who's secretly a hardcore gamer and a woman who's secretly a fujoshi date without their hobbies getting in the way, or revealing each other's secrets? Extra-long book includes 2 Japanese volumes! NOTHING VENTURED, NO XP GAINED Frustrated at the slow pace of their relationship, Hirotaka asks Narumi on a real date, with one critical stipulation: They can't show their otaku sides at all! Can the two find something to bond over in the absence of games, manga, and anime? Meanwhile, Hanako and Taro revisit the origins of their own tempestuous relationship back when they were in high school, and even Naoya seems to be spending more time with a new friend!

i enjoy it but i don’t love it. i find myself skimming over some parts and it flips back and forth between time and it’s sometimes confusing. the story though is super cute and enjoyable although i’m more interested in the little brothers story now rather than the mc’s.

This is such a fun read! (I'm up to date with japan's releases, I forgot to update here lol) 
Listen, these two start dating almost immediately, but it's because they have known each other for like forever and happened to find each other once again, but only Hirotaka is head over heels for Narumi, she just thinks it is convenient -she still loves him a lot but is not in love yet-. And because of that, this is a very slow burn romance lol. 
And it's a good slice of life, with an amazing group of friends and funny jokes. All of them are otaku btw, but they're interested in different things, except the two girls, they are yaoi (that's the only thing that bothers me about the whole thing, but meh I can ignore it) their dynamics are amazing. 
Best part? Drama free! No love triangle and the misunderstandings are easily resolved, and if they don't resolve them it adds to the plot, but never makes a mess of any situation or relationship. 
I'm also watching the anime, and I actually love it so much, it makes it funnier somehow.

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! Extra-long book includes 2 Japanese volumes! 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!

as always this manga is funny and cute. We learn more little by little and I really enjoy it. There is not a lot to say a bout it because each number is not so much action packed but still enjoyable to me. And I am really excited to learn more about Hirotaka's brother who is extra soft and cute.

I feel that because I saw the anime, most of the things that came out in there are on this volume but I believe that the anime does not capture Hirotaka the way the manga does. 

It was an okay read, I think I would have enjoyed more if I had read this 1st 🥲. Still I’m super excited to start the next volume.

I also learned that these volumes contain two volumes, but it’s not considered an Omnibus… and that manga volumes are called Tankobon in Japan… 😆I find myself a little confused tho.

Another thing is that this was initially published online maybe like a web toon. Still confused a bit! 

Anyways can’t wait for the next one.
