Kirameki no Lion Boy

First of all, I just wanna say hats off to the author for his art style. This book has probably the most aesthetic art style I've seen in a manga thus far. Truly captures the feel of the kind of read your in for, as it's very cute and pretty straightforward. There isn't too much suspense within the plot, as we are pretty much seeing them date rather quickly. But it's simply a mundane romance, which I personally found enjoyment in, but could be perhaps too low action or plot for some. And the characters are pretty cool, I found that on their own I didn't find them quite as interesting as when they were together, given the fact that she's quite fragile and sensitive, and he's more stoic and cool-headed. But I had some enjoyment with the side characters as well, so there aren't any major character holes in the story. After we get past some slight dramatics in the first view chapters, it honestly feels like a typical high school romance, but in a refreshing way. I personally read it between my break with an action anime, which honestly is something I recommend. Overall, it wasn't my favorite romance, but it was a good one, and an adorable read at that.

This manga is just a shoujo that gives you exactly what you came for.
Also there are so many light filters and sparkly effects, I think you'll die if you turn it into a drinking game for each effect. Characters are cute, MC is kinda lame and fragile, guy is chill and stoic, the more straightforward type if you're into that. Rival's kind of creepy but bearable.
I basically mainly read it for the MC's friend cause I like side romances more that the actual romance in all honesty.
Romance is eeeehhh okay. It's not the most character driven or very interesting but it's fairly okay. The art style is really cute, and might be a reason for you to stay.
I'm giving character an 8 because I have a huge bias for energetic girls like Nico.
Again, you come for the cute romance, you stay for the cute romance.
