Doing His Best to Confess, Vol. 1

This was soooo cute! Yep, get used to that word because it is said pretty often but I didn't mind it at all.

We have Natsuaki-Kun, the heartthrob in his grade. He's unawares of his popularity among the girls and they only like him because looks and there's a mystery surrounding him. He has a best friend who seems to be the only one he speaks to but the running joke is that Natsuaki doesn't really know how to show his feelings. There's a panel where the best friend steps on his foot and Natsuaki stays expressionless even though it hurt. He has this mad crush on Nasshi, the sweet quirky girl. They are truly opposites. The story is about Natsuaki finding ways he can confess to Nasshi and the series of events that continue to hinder the confession.

I liked it. It was sweet, smooth and fast. We need these reads every so often to cleanse the pallet.
