Wotakoi: Love Is Hard for Otaku 1 by Fujita

Wotakoi: Love Is Hard for Otaku 1 (Wotakoi: Love is Hard For Otaku, #1)

by Fujita

A geeky girl whose life revolves around yaoi manga and a quiet gamer boy 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!


GAMES OVER ROMANCE

Narumi Momose has had it rough: Every boyfriend she's had dumped her once they found out she was an otaku, so she's gone to great lengths to hide it. When a chance meeting at her new job with childhood friend, fellow otaku, and now coworker Hirotaka Nifuji almost gets her secret outed at work, she comes up with a plan to make sure he never speaks up. But he comes up with a counter-proposal: Why doesn't she just date him instead?

In love, there are no save points.

**I received a copy from the publisher, via NetGalley, in exchange for my honest opinion.**

I requested Wotakoi because I thought the cover was cute. I’m also totally into glasses-wearing manga guys, especially when they look like they could pass for masculine-of-center women. It’s just my weak spot, alright? 😳 I also love manga and try to take advantage of first-in-series reading opportunities when they arise because #2 may excite me, but I’ll still have to read #1 first. I dislike reading out of order when I can help it!

Twice, I’ve read this book, the first time being in April, but I didn’t get around to writing up a proper review. I don’t know why, although I do surmise it was because I didn’t understand the sorting of volumes for the English translation, which puts two volumes in each book. The second time was a week ago after watching the anime, which I loved despite it containing several spoilers for book #2, which I have yet to get my hands on at all.
