The Characters:
They're all unique and fleshed out. They feel realistic and react realistically. There's only one person right now I can confidently say doesn't act realistically, and that's the dumbass. He is so unbelievably stupid it hurts. There's also the FMC. but that makes sense because she is inherently unnatural. The MC I found is pretty relatable and fun to watch. Even though he is put in a lot of pitiful situations in which you will almost certainly find depressing/messed up, you can't ever hate how his character acts. He's realistic, logical, smart, and most of all, relatable. He has some really serious depression and anxiety due to an incredibly bad home life and pretty vicious bullying in school, but he still acts within reason, and that's one of the reasons why I can't hate him. If there is one thing I absolutely hate, it's a poorly written character, and fortunately for me, all the characters are written well. Nanami my goat fr fr.
The Plot:
As far as the typical romance will go? This manga is far ahead of everything else. I have a habit of attracting peak plots to myself, and I can confidently say this plot is indeed peak. Basic premise is that "depressed guy on the verge of doing something very bad to himself meets his childhood friend, who was his lifeline, again, and this time she's here to make sure he is happy, with the use of some Return By Death level time rewinding." It's better than most romance plots, I've read a decent amount, and I'd say this definitely has the potential to be my top 3 favorite romances.
Recommendations:
"Can I Fall in Love with a Multiverse?"
9/10 Peak basic plot, awesome art, author is really good at expressions. A guy starts hanging out with his crush, they walk home together, boom, truck-kun boutta reap some lives, MC pushes FMC out of the way risking his own life, but someone pulls him out of the way, saving him, turns out it was FMC with short hair. Turns out Short Hair FMC is FMC from another timeline and was sent here. Does he choose long hair FMC or short hair FMC?
"Killer In Love"
8.2/10 Had a lot of potential, but I think it was rushed too much. Essentially about a guy who falls in love with a girl who has a habit of attracting stalkers, and she clings onto this man and grooms him into a seasoned killer. 8.2/10 because it had some REALLY peak art, basic plot was peak, but character progression/story progression was rushed.
Overall rating? 8.8/10 (rounded up) Straight peak, and I get the feeling that if we give the author more time to cook, it might have potential to be a 10/10.
