I would sum up "Kiss Him, Not Me!" as silly yet fun shoujo that doesn't take itself too seriously. If you're in the mood for something that you don't have to think about too much, (which is what I sometimes need!), this ones a pretty safe bet to give you a smile.

The plot is pretty silly, its basically a harem revolving around a female fujoshi who *magically* loses weight after a week from being depressed over her favourite anime character dying. Except, what really kind of makes me laugh is the fact that she really doesn't enjoy that so much and ships each of her male fans with each other (lol).

This is kind of what sold it for me and while I think it could focus more on the MC shipping the guys together (instead its more all of the guys fighting for her attention, which isn't nearly as fun) it's still pretty great.


Minor spoilers ahead! From this post I've read up to 15 chapters.

Story: 6/10 - apart from the obvious twist on the story, the rest is pretty standard. There's a beach arc, a school festival, bla bla bla. Nothing all too new

Art: 7/10 - Again, art is very standard shoujo - it's not going to take your breath away, but it's not badly drawn either.

Character: 8/10 - Something I never thought I would say on a *shoujo romance* but *damn* I actually really love the friendship between the MC and her BFF. The author completely ignores going down the drama route of the best friend being potentially jealous of the MC's new harem following and instead she just finds it hilarious and joins in with shipping the guys. Both of their interactions as best mates are really natural and I kind of love them a little bit. (A-chan is the besttt)

In terms of the guys, they are allriiiight. They develop a little, or at least they develop in the way you expect them to in a shoujo. I do love the fact that a lesbian (or potentially bi, I guess?) girl turns up at one point and ends up joining the harem. I wasn't expecting that and (unfortunately?) im now totally going to ship those two together, though I know they won't be the end ship. It would be great if all the guys got together and left the girls to get together, though.


Overall I am really enjoying reading this so far, its not going to blow your mind with how deep it is (I mean, they only start crushing on the girl after she loses weight), but it's still really cute and it's worth a read just to have a laugh at the two friends freaking out over shipping the hot guys. It would just be a little better if they would stick to the title of kissing him and not her!
