Sommaire
Rather than a prince and a princess living happily ever after together, it is much more appealing to see a prince and a prince fall in love.

Believing in this wholeheartedly, Kae Serinuma is an overweight second-year high school girl who spends her days obsessing over fictional boys and fantasizing about men being in love with each other. In particular, she ships her male classmates Nozomu Nanashima and Yuusuke Igarashi—in her mind, every interaction they have hints at their romance. However, Kae's entire world is turned upside down when her favorite anime character dies. Heartbroken, she locks herself in her room and cuts off all contact from society. When she finally emerges a week later, she has slimmed down to have become a radiant beauty!

Now, all the boys that Kae was content with watching from afar are suddenly pursuing her—the only problem is, Kae wants no part in it! She would much rather they kiss each other, not her. In the battle for her heart, Kae ensnares the boys in her wild fantasies and exposes them to the true nature of a fujoshi's world.

Ok so this is a review so there's gonna be some good and bad and its one of my first so.. you know go easy on me plus this is only based off the first two chapters which says a lot as a whole
well Im mostly summarizing since I noticed there aren't any reviews and I usually hate when there aren't any because I want to hear how the story is from another viewpoint before I waste my time with something I don't really like so Im not going into great detail.

So the story is and isn't a cliche and I'll explain why. Our mc (main character) in the very beginning was over weight and not all that attractive although she still had a lot of guy friends, but miraculously she sheds all her weight within one week of depression over one of her favorite characters dying in a manga that she loves (oh and did I forget to mention she's an otaku). The whole becoming more beautiful thing isn't at all unique in its aspect, but the fact that she did it in one week is and along with being different its really unrealistic so if you're looking into a nonshoujo characteristic manga you're at loss. Anyways so of course as expected every male that had been presented previously falls for her new beautiful look and there was really only one who feels the same whether Shes fat or skinny, so undoubtedly its who pull want to root for. So that's the beginning of the harem aspect and superficial aspect as well which is something that I do not enjoy whatsoever because all the guys but one only liked her after she became beautiful and it really makes you hope for some odd twist where she gains weight again just to see what happens.
Anyways the art is really beautiful and I think it's what I like the most out of it all. It's used often I must say but I still really like it and I think it fits its story well.
The characters are nothing special but your usual cliche characters to be honest with no three dimensional aspects. The main character is your usual dense, hard working, common senseless, kind hearted otaku with no real depth while the males are trundere, normal, nonchalant, etc characters and one word is really all you need to explain them and there's three characters in itself that I just named.
I think the enjoyment is based on the reader to be honest so I don't have much to say. It passed time for me and that's good enough.
overall I give it a 7 or a 6.5 for you pessimistic ones. It's something that passes your time and if you keep a good outlook you'll enjoy yourself and hopefully the story will get more interesting from here on.

Let me start this review with the problematics: As a fat person, I often search for things with my representation. Unironically, it's hard to find a piece of media that focuses on an overweight female, but occasionally I come across stuff like Kiss Him, Not Me. At first, I was very excited to begin reading, this seemed right up my alley! But...

The beginning of the story is pretty fatphobic.

Let me introduce you to the characters:
- **Serinuma**, the MC, who actually doesn't give 2 SHITS about her own appearance so that's REALLY COOL. She's a fujoshi, so all that she cares about (REALLY) is... two guys doing it. Preferably if it's her otp (understandably), but if it's ANY two guys, that's super fine too.
- **Nanashima**, the Douche. You know the type: blonde, looks kinda mean but is actually a softie, usually is the one who gets the girl? Yeah. Is he the one who ends up with her? lol, I'll never tell. But he DOES look like Shion (Serinuma's favorite character).
- **Igarashi**, the Leader. I... don't know how to describe him? He's a decent guy, one of the most decent out of them, and his character growth is a nice surprise. He's not exactly a douchebag like Nana but he's not as nice as Mutsumi. So he's like... a "middle ground" between them.
- **Shinomiya**, the Shota, who is basically Nanashima but small-sized. I don't even know how much of this is a joke and how much of this is the truth lmao I SWEAR they're very much alike.
- **Mutsumi**, the Nice Guy. He's literally the NICEST guy. Top notch Gentleman with a capital G. He's just a little... oblivious.
- **Nishina**, the Lesbian, and yes! It's a girl! Who wants to date Serinuma!! She loves "beautiful things", she's also a doujinshi artist and becomes one of Serinuma's best friends. Unsurprisingly enough, she'd be one of the best options for her to end with :P

Sounds like a fun and different cast, right? It is! Except some of them are fatphobic. That is: when Serinuma was fat, they paid her no mind and some of them even treat her badly, but when she got thin ALL OF THEM *suddenly* became interested. Huh. *How strange*.

There are some moments in the story when she gets back to being fat (for whatever reason) and these same characters are the first ones to find a way to make her thin again as if she's only attractive when she's in a fitting form. This happens at the beginning of the manga and it was such a turn-off to me that I went MONTHS without reading it until I finally had the courage to pick it back up.

But once the fatphobia part wasn't so prominent... it was a breeze to read through. It's usually filled with light humor and cute "shippy" moments, they all have their one shot with Serinuma before she realizes who she really likes. And here's a surprise: there's actually some ~serious~ moments between the middle to the end of the story! Junko puts the humor and light moments in the back burner and decides to go for the drama and gooey shoujo romance (that we all secretly love).

It's very satisfying to see all these characters grow, both as individuals and together as a group of friends. It's especially cute how even after Serinuma "chose" one of them, the rest of them still stuck around and kept being friends with everybody. It stopped being a rivalry and it became friendship, even though they sometimes like to snap at one another haha

This manga is worth at least a shot, even though it doesn't get close to what Ouran is (one of my favorite mangas and, in my opinion, the best reverse harem), it is still pretty nice. And if you don't care about the fat issue, I suppose you'll have an easier time getting through the beginning.

After seeing all the early reviews full of prejudices I've decided to fight them after reading 40 chapters:

As many have already mentioned, this is a PARODY, don't take everything too seriously! It is full of clichés (used to an advantage), romantic moments, BL moments, comedic moments and all of this in a hilarious way. I enjoy this manga and anime extremely much, it always makes me laugh!

1. The biased synopsis
I was put off at the beginning about the MC suddenly losing weight in an impossible way and thus becoming popular. But don't be FOOLED! This is supposed to be ridiculous and simply a reason to put the shy otaku girl suddenly in the center of boys attention (where such a beauty is indeed eye-catching).

2. Not only beauty matters!
Many of you might now think that this manga therefore tells girls that only beauty matters. But that is not the case! This manga is actually full of roads to acceptance. The boys struggle because of her changing appearance and weird interests (BL) but will realize that these things are merely trivial when caring about a person.

3. Excentric main girl
This girl is not your usual reverse harem mc. She is hilarious, her reactions are priceless, her otaku heart never ceases to amaze, her clumsiness with real life romance is completely relatable and she is always trying to help people and never giving up.

4. Unshallow boys
Sure you can see that the boys might fit into specific character personalities and most of them were first attracted to the girl by her looks, but that doesn't mean they're shallow! Each of them get their own moments where they develop in personality, perception of love and in relations to the other boys as well (from competitors to friends).

Hope this helps deciding to try it out. I would recommend to at least read several chapters before deciding if this is flummery or not.

Only two or three chapters have been out at the time of this writing, so keep in mind that opinions on the story and the characters may not be accurate in the future.

This author normally writes shounen-ai manga. This is both a departure from that and a sort of riffing on the idea of BL in general.

STORY

The MC is a fujoshi (aka the mangaka's fanbase) who suddenly finds herself quite beautiful, and attracts the attention of four of her male classmates. There aren't many reverse-harems in circulation, and those that are around usually don't reach for new heights. This premise does. The males who surround her all have distinct personalities--as does she and her female friend. The thing is, though, that they all respected her before she became beautiful. It makes their attention after her sudden transformation both more believable and less disrespectful. All in all, the treatment and presentation of her relationship with the other characters is very, very promising.

More than that, though, is the riffing off of BL trends and tropes. The mangaka will set up panel frameworks which are commonly used in shounen-ai, then use them as the backdrop for a joke. For those who have read BL in the past, it's very amusing to see this happen.

ART

I read her past BL stories for the art. The mangaka can draw people splendidly; she also wonderfully avoids the trap so many BL artists make when they try to draw women and end up with boys in wigs. All her people look unique, and the art is crisp and clear. Backgrounds are limited, and tend to be forgotten when people are talking; however, in general, this plays back into the BL-riffing theme--usually there's no space for backgrounds because everything is filled up with sparkles by the boys' faces.

CHARACTERS

The characters, as mentioned before, are excellent. They all have their own unique personalities, and avoid falling into any real stereotypes. They all feel like real people. It's really very nice to see.

ENJOYMENT

This manga is enjoyed more deeply if you have read BL in the past. However, even without that basis, it can be enjoyed by anyone for its fresh, appealing take on how people get along with each other.

OVERALL

This manga holds promise, and will enamor those who are inclined to it. It is novel in premise, and smart in character presentation. It lacks in background, but really, that's a small detraction in an otherwise solid shoujo manga.

“Wow, this was really good.”

– That's what I thought after finishing the last chapter.

I’m a shipper alright. On top of that, I’m also a simple person, so I usually ship the girl with the first guy to appear. This manga, however, despite providing five possible love interests for the main heroin, didn’t make me ship, strangely enough.

I liked all the boyfriend/girlfriend candidates, they were all unique and all funny in their way. Sure, when Kae had moments with Igarashi, it felt wrong (i'm sorry, Yuusuke). I immediately fell in love with Mutsumi-senpai, because he always cared for Kae, always put her first and didn’t care, whether she was Fae (Fat Kae) or Sae (Skinny Kae).

The beginning, where Fae turns into Sae and looks like a completely different person, was quite unrealistic, but I didn’t question it. In my interpretation, Sae is so beautiful, because she’s the mirror of Kae’s personality.

The manga was hilarious, I haven’t laughed so much since FMA. The faithful portrait of an otaku, her obsession, her mind set, her priorities, everything – it was like a documentary. Amazing. The picture of the annoying couple each of us knows – unbelievably realistic. Characters development on spot. Also references to other mangas – purely great. Kae drawing a human transmutation circle under senpai's hospital bed will stay with me forever.

As far as the ending goes – the name. It was SO OBVIOUS, yet I would have never thought of it. It perfectly linked the beginning of the story with its end, and it also linked Kae’s hobby with her ability to manage a “real” life.

10/10 would recommend!
