Good manga... but bad product!!

The only reason why I'm giving it 5 stars is because of how good the book is I just love the characters in it and the art like it's just all around a really good manga. BUT WHAT I WAS MAD ABOUT WAS WHEN I WENT TO SKIM THROUGH THE PAGES I NOTICED LIKE 4 PAGES WERE FOLDED ON THE EDGE WHEN U UN FOLDED THEM IT PAGES WERE NOT CUT PROPERLY. SO I DONT KNOW IF IR WAS THE STORE WHO FOLDED THE PAGES THAT I BOUGHT THE BOOKS FROM OR THE PEOPLE WHO WORK IN THE WAREHOUSE AND PACKAGE OUR STUFF WHO FOLDED IT SO IT MADE IT LOOK LIKE THE BOOK WAS FINE AND THERE WAS NO PROBLEMS. SO YA IN THE FUTURE PLEASE CHECK YOUR PRODUCTS BEFORE SHIPPING THEM OUT BECAUSE I TRY REALLY HARD NOT TO FOLD MY PAGES WITH MY MANGA'S. Other than that my other books Vol. 3&4 were fine no problems with the page's or anything.

Perfect for those Otaku out there looking to relate.

I love this book series and the anime as well. It is so much more easy to relate because I'm also nerdy. Sometimes romance novels are hard to read because I'll never randomly meet a rich millionaire who will fall in love with me for strange reasons. This is down to earth and hilarious. I recommend it.

Very good purchase!! :3 (I got it with 1)

It came in great condition, no issues with the manga itself that I didn’t accidentally inflict myself (oops), the cover is so nice and the clear designs are definitely a plus with the fact that I LOVE this series, really recommend for people that like comedy romance that aren’t really drama filled or super story based.

My New Favorite

This series is officially in my top ten favorite manga. I absolutely love the characters and the dynamics between them. Its so funny and down to earth, and its great to see a series about adults rather than teenagers and such. (Don't get me wrong I love that stuff but its cool to see a more adult setting) Just read this series please. It deserves so much love. PS: HIROTAKA IS BAE

This is the manga for otakus in relationships

I'm write this review for all three volumes of Wotakoi: Love Is Hard for Otaku. This manga shows you the daily life of everyday, 9 to 5 adults who has never grown out of being a geek for nerdy stuff like gaming, comics, cartoons, anime, cosplaying, and going to comic cons. And happen to manage to maintain a stable relationship with that significant other who is either a little nerdy or a massive, obsessive geek. This manga is filled with laughs and relatable characters that you can gravitate to in each page. If you describe yourself as an otaku, then this is a must read manga for you. Then you might not look at your otaku friends or significant other the same way again because you will be referencing this book and relating to every nuisance.

Loved it!

I have no complaints! There are no rips, bends, or any weird smells. Very cute and the colors are as vibrant as the picture :) 10/10

Very good quality

This was less than original selling price and it came in good condition, was not damaged (but that might be packagers faults if it came damaged) either way worth the price.

Best series for gamers and otakus

So happy to have stumbled across this after Life of a MMO Junkie had been done!

I love it!!

The book came in amazon condition and i’m extremely pleased about that! If you want to buy it but aren’t sure if it’s worth it it is 100% worth it in my opinion! It is interesting and the story is amazing plus the relationship between the characters just makes it more amazing. :D

Love it

Came in perfect condition

Ah, the joys of being an otaku...

I'm having so much fun with this manga. I can't count how much it mirrors things that have happened with me & my other otaku friends, as well as otaku former girlfriends. A curious twist in here though. It's been alluded to that younger brother is gay, or at least bi, & little-miss-nerdly has been apparently been pretending to be a guy, so now that there's the shock of a reveal, I'm very interested to see how this proceeds. Heartbreak? Love forevermore? Lady or the tiger, what's it gonna be? There's a lot of BL talk in this series, alongvwith an occasional tease by the 2 male protagonists. I don't object, but I'm curious what it's intended for? It doesn't seem to be going anywhere atm other than to fill out the 2 female protagonists... it seems like the author is trying to take this somewhere, but where, who knows? Alcohol is regularly involved, so this could be very interesting (Ya, veddy intevesting). Art, excellent. Dialogue, a bit rough at times but overall good. Characters, believable, relatable, likeable (OMG so relatable & believable!!!).

love it

already read the whole thing online but reading it psychically is a whole other experience

Great series

Great series

Awesome Manga

This is one of my favorite series. It is so funny and so relatable to anyone who is nerdy and has had to deal with finding close companions with similar interests that won’t judge you. The characters are hysterical and I can’t wait to read more!

Happy with my purchase

Love it! Came quickly and I’m perfect condition.

Great find and read

Fell in love with the anime and the books don’t disappoint.

Can’t wait to read

I haven’t started but I have started the first one and can’t wait to read

Buy the manga support the

Love this manga. So worth the read! It has very cute funny moments and can hit you with a little slice of reality.

Great gift for manga lovers

My wife enjoyed the manga as is eagerly awaiting the next book release in June

Great series

Looking forward to the next one!

Discovered the anime 1st then I got hooked on the manga 🥰

Good buy!

I really enjoy the characters in this book.

Obsessed

I absolutely love the characters and the story... I just want more and more!!!

Love it

Exciting and Funny story!!!

Five Stars

Ones of the best manga out there.

I love this manga

It was an a great condition

Fun to read!

Adored the relationships! Made me laugh and blush so much!

So good

Another great volume that has me smiling ear to ear!

Finally ,a romantic group I can route for .And their all otakus.

Finally ,a romantic group I can route for .And their all otakus. So this is basically a story of two workers meeting for the first time since middle school working in the same company and through weird circumstances , they decide to start dating.Yea, it might no me much to go on, but after getting that curve ball out of the way, this is when the manga starts to become awesome. So the characters are your basic- Moody gamer, short anime chick,otaku-shy tough guy and glasses cosplay girl and this manga makes the most of it. The former and the later are probably some of the best and funniest couples I have ever read. The personal moments are downright touching. The references and callbacks feel really interwoven.Hard to believe that this manga was created on pixiv hobby, because its too good. I've been looking so long for a comic this funny and this romantic. If you want to see an okatu style romance story with a lot of heart.This is your cup of coffee!

Great book

My daughter love it!!!

Cute story

This series of books is funny, cute, and a good read. I recommend this to anyone!

LOVE IT

Love this manga. Love this physical copy of it. Extra little doodles and cartoons between the story pages. Love it

Great condition

Book was in an amazing condition and came with a cute little card and candy.

Sugoi

Cant get enough of wotakoi.

Can’t wait for the next one!

Great book

Love it

Great story.

Thanks!

Fast arrival great quality!

Loving All of the Meganes!

I forgot to mention in my review of volume one how much I love the fact that there are so many glasses wearers in this series. Not fashion glasses, or fake/decoy glasses, but actual prescription glasses. And those Megane characters are mostly main characters, not support characters, that have regular (well otaku regular anyway) personalities rather than just the stereotypical bookworm/nerd. Hirotaka may be a gamer but, if he wasn't so hardcore about it, and actually cared to talk to people, the ladies would be all over him. And the guys lust after Hanako, cold attitude and all. I don't know enough about Ko yet to comment on her character or if she really needs her glasses. Well she is a secondary character so that's okay. Looking forward to more otaku and megane fun in the next volume! Keep'em comin'!

Great

Loved it

Loved it you have to

Loved it you have to buy

Wotakoi 2

Continuing to enjoy this,manga about Otaku Culture in Japan and relationships between people with different interests in the genres of Otaku media Gaming, Anime, Manga, Music, Cosplay, and so on). It is very insightful and very entertaining. Many LOL moments in the story line!

Must buy!!!!!!

Such a wonderful manga! A must buy!!! I hope that Fujita keeps bringing us more wonderful work!!!💖💖💖💖💖

Great manga, not happy with quality of purchase

First off, I love the manga and anime. Definitely would recommend reading Wotakoi, 10/10 However, I’m not happy with the quality of the book itself. I bought a new copy, but the middle of the back cover, as well as the last page, have about a two-inch long cut in the middle. It’s a really clean cut, and I didn’t use a box cutter or anything to open the box, so I’m a bit confused about how the cut got there. All in all, great manga, not great delivery quality

Vol 2 just as good as v1

Definitely does not disappoint. Gives lots of backstory as well as a lot of relationship development. Loving Naoya’s story as well!

Enjoying it immensely

I recently discovered the anime version on Amazon Prime Video and loved it. When I found out it was originally a manga series I had to read it, and am loving it!

Hilarious, as usual.

Fujita-sensei never fails to make me giggle with her scenarios and dialogue. As a closet otaku, this gives me great pleasure. I look forward to purchasing many more English translated mangas in the future!

Excellent Volume 2 for this series

They did an amazing job providing supporting details for non-otaku and building a realistic and adorable story. I have enjoyed all three volumes of this series.

Love it!

I’m obsessed! This is so funny and just amazing! I love watching the characters grow little by little! It’s my favorite manga series for sure!

Keep it coming

This series is definitely a treat to us otaku I definitely love nao Chan as he is oozing with ototou energy

Girlfriend loves it

She even got me to enjoy it, and it makes us both laugh out loud, highly recommend for anyone looking for comedy

Fun Story (the chapter order is supposed to look that way)

This is a really fun series, it makes me laugh and keeps me entertained. The four main characters are charming and it is fun to follow their story. (Just an edit to those who might be confused, the layout of this volume is supposed to be the way the English version is printed. It's original format in the original language reads in the same order.)

Funny and charming

I love this manga series! It's funny and charming. Can't wait for the next volume!

Sticker on back

Love the book but it came with a sticker on the back. As if that wasn't bad enough, when I tried to slowly get it off, not only did it leave bits of the slickly residue on it, it also ripped off part of the book! In the end, I decided the unsightly sticker would be better on than off... Thank god this wasn't a gift but still, I'm pretty miffed about it.

Blemish on cover

I’m just disappointed that there were these blemishes on the cover as it came out of the package in this condition. I understand that these things happen while shipping, but I was expecting a new product. Leaving 2 stars for the condition of product. Besides that I really do love this series as it is a nice casual read for me. So, I recommend this series for anyone who wants that romantic comedy vibe. Overall, Condition 2/5: tiny black dots on back of the book as well Story 4.5/5 Of course start with the first volume too :)

Pretty good

It seemed as if the pages had been damaged with water but at the same time it was totally dry, the pages were kinda just bent that way, other than that great book

Upset

I ordered this for myself for my birthday this month. I like to take care of my manga and keep them in really new looking condition. When I ordered this I thought I was getting a new book, but it showed up really DIRTY. It was covered in dirt or something. I am very disappointed.

book

the page came bent but overall it’s a really good book

Used Iten

I paid for a new Manga I received a used one !!!! Dirty and really out of shape!!!

Chapter order seems screwed up and a repeated chapter?

As always, I love the characters and situations, that said, this printing appears to be screwed up in that a chapter is repeated from the first volume and others seem out of order (such as parts of a date being separated by multiple unrelated chapters for no apparent reason).

More development for side relationships!

Great followup volume. I normally don't like manga made up of vignettes, but the manga-ka does an excellent job piecing every scene together with great punchlines and commentary on otaku life. This volume (vol 3 + 4 of the Japanese tankos) brings a little more focus into the relationships that we didn't really see as much of previously. It includes the backstory of Koyanagi + Bakakura (lol), as well as more of Hirotaka's brother Naoya with his potential special someone. I also enjoyed the interactions between Hirotaka and Koyanagi, as we haven't really seen them talk much one-on-one. The slow development of Narumi + Hirotaka may make some readers impatient, but I think it's a good pace for the kind of couple they are, especially considering that this may very well be Hirotaka's first relationship (and Narumi's first one where she doesn't have to hide her interests).

Best manga!

So it’s called manga. I binged the show and once I found out about these I binged them too! I have all the feels for this series!

Love but Dont recommend for a new manga reader

Well let me answer this and why this may not be a good manga for newbie manga readers. There are times when the manga jumps around time periods and are episodic within their own chapters which can get confusing. In addition we got to see so much background information of the couple on the cover and learned alot more about the other characters too especially the 3rd couple. The main thing I did not enjoy was the jumping. I do enjoy that it was episodic because you could easily put the manga down and pick it back up and love the art and characters once again. Overall I have to give this manga a 4 out of 5 stars. I cant wait to read the next volume (which I preordered and it got pushed back😭) and still cannot wait for more anime!!!!

A must read

My favorite manga of all tell!

Yes, and

Better translation than the first volume. Love these characters.

Perfect gift I received.

I received the manga as a gift and it’s great. I love it (:

Bello

Hermoso

The production arrived on time taking into account the situation of COVI-19

I really liked it, I am delighted with this book, new, very good quality material. Thanks a lot

Weeb mode activate

Really great as all the other volumes. I am incredibly into this anime/manga I have watched and read (not all volumes yet but up to volume 6) both versions and still the levels of entertainment and amazingness never wavers. Really recommend to anyone who is into shojo/comedy anime/manga!

For Anime Fans!

It has a nice storyline and references are explained well. My daughter has enjoyed reading the series.

Great manga.

Its nice and light hearted. Good story and characters. Narumi and Hirotaka slowly develop throughout the story. I don't know how far they are currently as I'm currently reading volumes 4, 5+6 but all their relationships developing slowly is nice to see. The art is fantastic especially the facial expression.

wotakoi 2

I watched the anime a while ago so i decided to get the manga. It was so good! It came next day so delivery was good! Very much recommend.

WOTAKOI✨

Such a good manga✨😭

Funny and sweet, a great manga for those looking for manga with adult characters

A lot of manga and anime focus on younger casts (high school age and younger) so as a recently graduated college student this series was such a good find. The manga is a ton of fun with great banter and lots of good jokes. On the romantic front the main couple is adorable and sweet, and will not disappoint. Plenty of references to other anime/manga works as well (such as Neon Genesis Evangelion). Special shout out goes to the translation notes, plenty of explanations into Japanese culture on the whole, and otaku culture as well.

Con questo volume si raggiunge l'anime

Trovo l'opera di fujita brillante e piacevole , per chi come me ha seguito l'anime con questo volume si arriva quasi alla pari tranne per alcune parti che non sono presenti nell'anime . Straconsiglio !

Love it

Absolutely loved it

Fast. Perfect condition!

It got delivered in 2 days and it's in perfect condition. I'm so excited to start reading this manga.

Nice

Good

minimal damage! great read :)

I love this series so much! minimal damage to the spine and edges of the cover, but with the way Amazon packages books I was more than happy

Amei

Adoro a história, e apesar de ser uma edição Big, está maravilhosa, amei que tem as páginas coloridas, e o acabamento está em perfeito estado.

Great purchase

The book arrived in perfect condition, on-time and I love Wotakoi so I'm really enjoying this volume.

Manga

Kind ist begeistert.

¡¡Extraordinario!!

Increíble el arte de Fujita. Adoro su trabajo, así como el extraordinario humor que tiene su obra.

Good

Hilarious and highly recommended

Sequel not as strong as original

The story has development but nor much notable. Will carry on to book three because I enjoy the characters 🙂

Adoro este mangá

Os personagens de Wotakoi são cheios de vida e história para contar, a leitura flui tão bem que parece que estou vivendo a situação com eles. Diferente de algums mangás que mudam de cena abruptamente ou inserem personagens que brotam do ar para criar um problema na história e continuar gerando capítulos, Wotakoi te conta momentos extras e curiosidades da vida dos personagens, tornando a leitura muito agradável e completa. Indico para qualquer pessoa que curte ilustrações bem feitas e uma história divertida. Tem alguns erros na tradução para o Inglês.

Amei

Não esperava menos deste mangá, é uma história que ao mesmo tempo te faz rir e que ressoa com a vida real. Recomendo muito!

So cute

Not usually a fan of shojo or romance but this series is really something special. Binged the first two volumes in a few hours and I can’t wait to read the rest.

In short

Cute, funny, nice slice of life manga about Office workers that are otakus. In this volume, more about the past is shown. Really cute date scenes

Perfect

The book came with not much damage but just with a small dent.

Demorou

Demorou quase um mês pra chegar, tirando isso veio em perfeito estado e muito lindinho. Tão mais bonito que o volume 1 que chegou em uma semana kk

Great shape

Hello, I bought this manga and it's good, but I accidentally bought 2. I treid to look if I could send it back but there's no return letter. So I don't know how to send i back
