Miss Miyazen Would Love to Get Closer to You 1

Summary:

Sota Matsubayashi is new to this school, but he already has a reputation, thanks to his school. Now, he’s the class troublemaker, even if he acts like a prince. To put it lightly, this makes it hard to get to know people.

Meanwhile, Sakura Miyazen is the princess of the school. It was decided when everyone discovered she was rich and lived in the modern castle equivalent. She could have anything she wanted, in theory. But all she wants is to get to know Sota…and she’s too awkward and shy to make it easy.

Review:

Miss Miyazen Would Love to Get Closer to You 1 is a classic high school romance in many ways. We have two oblivious main characters who desperately want to chat - but can’t quite make it work. Sound familiar? We’ve all probably been there.

There are several fun and familiar tropes in this manga, starting with the bad boy stereotype (where he actually isn’t bad; he just looks that way) and the little princess archetype (who’s actually a sweet nerd).

If you’re looking for a slow-burn romance with a slice-of-life storytelling style, Miss Miyazen Would Love to Get Closer to You is absolutely worth checking out. The first volume doesn’t delve that deep, but I can see its potential going forward.

Highlights:
Slice-of-Life Romance
Contemporary Romance
Comedy & Sweet

Will I continue the series? Maybe
