Summary:
For Kaho, a man’s muscles are all that matters. She’s sports-agnostic, type-agnostic—all she cares about are that those abs, pecs, biceps and delts look good. She thinks she’s found her perfect Muscle Prince in Natsume-sempai…that is, until he finds out what a muscle-freak she is. But instead of ridiculing her, he instead suggests she becomes manager of the basketball team—the one he just so happens to be on? For a muscle-lover like Kaho, there’s nothing to lose…and everything to gain.

Plot Rating: 4/5
Opinion: The art is so unreal I want to read everything this manga-ka has ever drawn. The way she draws the guys is so unreal! The heroine is a little plain but she’s still super cute. The art is very detailed but dainty and soft in a fairy tale kind of way.
The heroine is hilarious and her love of muscles is unmatched. She’s very sincere and headstrong. A little ditzy but very admirable overall. There is a bit of a love triangle and I don’t often fall for the second male lead, but this one has a special place in my heart.
I have been reviewing romcoms a lot recently but they are so good! This series has made me bust out laughing quite a few times and screenshotting ridiculous moments. But also since it’s about muscles there are tons of “doki doki” moments.
I feel like this is a quintessential shoujo series. If you like shoujo you will love this!
