Ok, I fell in love with this book. Shikura is just so adorable, and I love Madoka's personality. I felt that the writing and the plot made this first volume a very quick and engaging read. I love romance, especially cheesy romance, and I was just happy to read another cheesy romance with somewhat normal characters. I think this manga is so far describing a light-hearted friends to lovers, which I find to be refreshing from the enemies to lovers trope. I think I recommend this series to manga readers who love hallmark tropes and anime like kiss him not me. I am totally going to buy this book and then read Volume 2 when it comes out.

I received an e-arc copy of this manga through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I tend to say no to romance stories and I prefer books with as little romance as possible. It’s actually not quite true. I like romance but it has to be hyper cute and adorable. Like so cute you want to scream…😅 And it has to make sense for me, no instant love please, true feelings take time and effort…😉
And this manga was super adorable! I liked both Madoka and Shikura and their slow-to-start romance makes so much sense with his predicament. Although what kind of girls does he meet in his life?!..Seriously amazing and creepy if Madoka’s sensible behaviour is so rare…😂
The first volume ended in a cliffhanger (not surprising) and I would love to read more about Madoka and Shikura in the future!😊

I'd like to thank NetGalley and Kodansha Comics for sending me You're my Cutie, vol. 1 in exchange for an honest review.

This was an incredibly sweet, light-hearted manga that describes the blossoming of an unlikely romance.

Madoka, our protagonist is obsessed with shojo manga—specifically manga that features younger, innocent guys who fall for their Sempai. However, she starts falling for a guy that's totally opposite of that. A rude guy starts working at her father's restaurant and drama follows.

She's a girl that knows what she wants and is not afraid to speak up. I liked that she stood up for him when he was "attacked" by fans.

Both of them have to step out of their own comfort zones. And it's very fun to read about that.

Overall, the story was simple and easy to follow. In my opinion, there wasn't much going on.
The art on the other hand, was ✨ gorgeous ✨

A fun read with lots of cute moments!

I enjoyed the story and blossoming romance, but the male lead is a bit too standoffish for my liking. He comes across as an extreme jerk in the beginning and while I understand where he is coming from, he's not exactly swoonworthy.

However, I'm hopeful that the series gets better and I'll be more emotionally invested.

You're My Cutie was a very sweet book! At first, I wasn't so sure I would be able to like Shikura, but he grew on me. I was glad to see that Kawahara didn't just put up with Shikura's bad attitude, and it was cute to see both of them open up as the book progressed. Molly Karinen's translation was effective and read smoothly, and Juan Marcos Rivera's lettering complemented the art well.

I'm glad to have found a new shojo manga, and I'm excited to read more.
