Reviews for Amagase Just Won't Go Easy On Me. Manga

This review contains spoilers. Such a cute story! It’s pretty wholesome and overall good read. I like that the story jumps a bit to the future so we see get a peek at what’s next for them!

This review contains spoilers. I‘m crazy for a dramatic wild love story but this is not it. A couple chapters in and I cannot continue. (TLDR it’s a shallow story built on cliches with even flatter characters)

Momo meets Amagase when he stops the guy molesting her on a train. This sets Momo’s wish to find the hero who saved her and she meets him again and he’s different from what she’s expecting and it’s not just his appearance from their last encounter. He’s plays around with girls, but he doesn’t care for their feelings and finds them a nuisance most of the time.

This leads to him declaring Momo should be his girlfriend after she boldly states she wouldn’t fall in love with him, AND THEN PROMPTLY KISSES HER. Ugh that is not cute at all, shoujo has its surprises but it needs some sense. They’re classmates and barely know each other and he’s made her his girlfriend (didn’t ask her), as if to test her statement and kisses her without her consent: very different interactions between them at key plot points. Shoujo has their shock factor moments but let’s not romanticize red flag behavior.

I feel like all the characters are flat cliches I’ve read somewhere before. I don’t really know anything about Momo besides she’s been molested on a train and she has a childhood friend who also has a peach name. Shuto is introduced and quickly established that he’s her childhood friend and is in love with her. His concern for Momo getting involved with a guy with a bad reputation is reproached and he’s ignored. Ughhh
