Lonely Girl in Sakaraenai is a simple yuri manga with nothing really exciting. The premise is alright, I kinda like the way it was going and then we went on with the typical romance tropes. Honestly, I don’t necessarily feel disappointed, It’s just an okay-ish manga.

I will give the mangaka some props though. He (or she) didn’t drag it for long, didn’t milked it for no reason. They were strangers, then friends, then lovers and happy ending.
The drawing is quite good, the surroundings are well drawn, I like it.
If you are a yuri enjoyer you’ll like this manga, there’s nothing wrong with it. No reason to write a pamphlet about it, It’s just aight, nothing special.

In short: It's like a bowl of chicken soup: nothing complicated, but it's enjoyable and warms the soul.

Is it complex, with exciting highs and depressing lows? No.
Did it feel like an arduous journey filled with blood, sweat, and tears? Nah not really.
Is it simple, comforting, and lovable? Absolutely.

The story isn't special but it makes you smile. Most "conflicts" are resolved quickly or without much build up. Admittedly this could be seen as a flaw, but I would argue that it works in this story. The manga doesn't try to be anything more than relaxing and wholesome, and it succeeds.

Characters aren't complex, but still lovable. What they lack in depth they make up for with fun interactions you'll enjoy seeing.

The art is simple, expressive, and adorable. It does a good job presenting what the characters feel, as well as the tone of the scenes. I also love when the characters become chibis, I can't help but smile when I see them.

In conclusion, the manga is simple, straightforward, and cozy. If you're looking for your next favorite manga with ground-breaking story telling, 200 IQ writing, and loads of twists and turns this won't be for you. But if you're looking for a heartwarming story that's a relaxing read, you'll enjoy this manga.
