Plus-sized Misadventures in Love! Manga Reviews

This story involves a FL who loses her memory do to an accident and recovers with a newfound love for herself, life, and finds herself at the center of a criminal case. After 39 chapters, this manga has not strayed from the values of mind over matter and finding the best in people and difficult situations. The best part about this manga is that the FL does not discover that she needs to be skinny to love herself, for others to love her, or to be successful in life; she just needs confidence in herself and in others. The FL still faces people bashing her weight and looks, but she doesn't let that change her- she keeps plowing forward to what and who she wants. I can't wait to continue reading as more chapters release.

The FL is adorable and hilarious, her appearance is a change of pace and the love story tied into this mystery has me wanting to binge read. Thankfully new chapters are being posted so I can pick up where I left off.

I love mangas with unconventional characters. This one is great, it has comedy, romance, mistery and a great FL, who doesn’t give a dime for what other people think of her. I want to be like her.

Very rarely do you find manga featuring main characters who aren't treated as the butt of every joke, who aren't "fixed" in some way by slimming down, or whose weight is treated as something other than a fetish. Debu to Love to Ayamachi To (localized as Plus-sized Misadventures in Love) is one such rare gem!

The bulk of the humor comes from Yumeko's insane ego and vanity, but not because people think she doesn't deserve it. When she describes herself as a divine goddess and the sunshine in everyone's lives, it's not a joke to her, because the way her positive outlook improves the lives of her coworkers is very much in line with how she now sees herself, and how her coworkers come to see her.

The comic doesn't shy away from stereotypes. Yumeko works at a snack company, and enjoys eating plentiful food. But she also dresses in a way that's trendy, and the characters who fall for her do so because of her personality -- her weight isn't even a factor for or against her.

In addition to the comedy, there's a central mystery at the heart of everything, in just how Yumeko ended up with amnesia. As well as plenty of drama related to overworking, mental illness, stress, etc. And even some tropes I dislike, such as miscommunication, though they are present here, they're handled in a realistic way and aren't dragged out unnecessarily for drama.

As of this review, an anime adaptation has been announced, and there's already a live-action drama. Definitely give this one a read!

I love this one. I can't wait to see how everything plays out, but at the same time I know I'll be so sad when it's over.

I love seeing mangas that focus on what would be consider unconventional characters by societies standards, finding happiness.

Our mc is taking on the world with such a positive outlook and very much self love. It's refreshing to read how much a situation can change with a new outlook on themselves.

i love yumeko so much, her character is so charming and inspiring and i love how confident she is. its so nice to see everyone whos around her truly genuinely loves her and i also really like the art of her every chapter. amazing manga 1000/100 please update soon
