What the fuck is going on? I'm not one to get hung up on small things and it's not like any of these really break my will to continue or anything but all of them combined are really starting to push my patience to its' limits. Even for a romance manga this is really sloppy. There's no buildup, there's not even any real romance, they are just a couple immediately, for all intents and purposes. There's no tension, there's no goal, there's no plot, nothing to overcome. Both seem like perfectly functional and normal high school students apart from their shared maladies. This whole thing barely even has a premise. It'd be nice for a short story, but 4 chapters in and I'm already getting real tired of this shit.
Are there really no romance manga that aren't atrociously written and/or completely autistic love triangle spaghetti for 200.000.000 volumes?
Yeah I heard really good things about this but basically everything you said didn't make sense to me either or just seemed really contrived, and I didn't get far in either. Like the premise and plot is something I'd see in and tolerate for an quick H-manga, not an actual romance work. Maybe it was meant to be one at first or something, I mean where else would you ever find the premise >boy with insomnia meets girl with insomnia and immediately after meeting she is obsessed with him and they find out they can only fall asleep cuddled up together in a secluded room during the day and they prowl around all night while everyone is sleeping I mean maybe it'd work if it was pacing was slower and more gradual, but as it it's a literal porn premise without the sex, and it's got all the depth of one too

Are there any good romance manga you would recommend? I'm kinda looking for one, but this really left a sour taste in my mouth.

i think you're just expecting it to be something it isnt. this is not a conventional romance story.
Benjamin Wilson
Karin was good and had very nice development just dont read the last volume
Ayden Wilson
This manga quickly became one of the best romance manga I've read.
Jason Adams
thanks m8, I'll look them up when I have the time
No, it's not that it isn't conventional, it's barely even a story. I wasn't expecting anything, I started reading off of one page being posted in here of the main girl and I thought she was really cute so I tried it out. Unless in the next chapter it's revealed there's some occult shit going on and it turns into surreal horror manga or something I don't think I "don't get" what the manga is supposed to be.

Any date...?

>Unless in the next chapter it's revealed there's some occult shit going on that's what im saying. its not that kind of story. its about them growing together and it happens pretty slowly.

I know it isn't, that was the point. I'm pretty sure I get what the manga is trying to do. It's just not very good at it imo
Joshua Robinson
how many chapters have you read so far?
Camden Thomas
4
Oliver Adams
if you're not feeling it after 4 chapters then it's probably not for you. i would say give it to the end of volume 2.
Kevin Rogers
yeah, that's what I'm saying. I might fuck around with it for a couple more chapters or something but if these little nagging things that are bothering me keep happening I'm probably dropping it after that. Kinda sucks, because I really like the way the manga looks. I even appreciate the vibe. I'm just not a fan of what's actually happening.
Aaron Rivera
i will say that everything that bothers you in the OP is addressed at some point
Benjamin King
What are your favorite romances? I'm going to assume it's probably some Magazine garbage romcom or something. Also, all of your complaints are fucking addressed if you'd actually read.
You've literally read nothing then. It's a decompressed and atmospheric story like the author's previous two works and most of your problems are addressed by like volume 3 at the latest anyway.
Leo Taylor
hey maybe they do that and in a way that's really satisfying and I'll end up loving the thing. I'm just saying it's not off to a great start.
>You've literally read nothing then. I don't really like this line of thinking. Being slow paced and "they explain it later" is not an excuse to flub you first 5 chapters. How you open your story is one of the most important things and nothing can excuse sloppy writing. Even if you want to open with things that won't make sense until later on, there's ways of writing them that will still leave you interested rather than annoyed.
Adam Baker
>Nakami and Magari >Ukegawa and Nono >Haida and Anamizu WIll Kanikawa get a love interest too?
Your complaints are retarded and feel like you're just being a nitpicky contrarian. Now what do you consider good romance series? Magari is a pretty classic Manic Pixie Dream Girl and the series is obviously influenced far more by film/drama style romances than manga romcoms.
Trust me I'm not. If anything I really wanted to like this. It even took me a while to finally see what was going on. For the first couple of chapters I was basically ignoring the little things because I was giving the benefit of the doubt coming from the assumption that this was surely gonna be good. Eventually only 4 chapters in these things all compounded enough to where I'm not having a good time.
>Now what do you consider good romance series? Honestly I can't think of a romance manga I like. And all my favorite romances in Any Forums are from stories that are not romance stories. Romance is just a hellscape of garbage in the medium from my experience, which is admittedly not extensive, precisely because all the stuff I've tried is so underwhelming. I'll be very happy to be proven wrong about this though.
