I hadn’t read the blurb before starting this manga so I was quite surprised when an alien arrived. This made it a bit absurd but also quite fun. I’m not a huge fan of the drawing, I feel like the faces are a bit short if you see what I mean. Otherwise, I think the story is promising a fun shojo with a bit of drama and yelling. I will read the next volumes to really judge this series but for the moment, I’m thinking “why not”.
I recommend to people okey with the alien side.
3/5

So different than what I expected. I love how bizarre the setup for this story it is. Has me wanting more details about how this even happened. Love the male lead is kind of a jerk, but has to be sweet even if just to show face. Female lead is so innocent and just doesn’t care that everyone’s kind of fake around her and takes whatever crap she has to. Intrigued for more!

This manga follows a girl named Miyako Nikaido, but nobody at school can seem to remember her name, as she’s shy, and most people don’t pay much attention to her. There’s a popular boy named Koga-kun who she runs into one night - but everything isn’t as it seems because he tells her that he’s actually an alien who takes over Koga-kun‘s body while he’s asleep! This alien wants to be friends with Nikaido, and she can’t decide whether or not to take him seriously.

I absolutely loved this manga - it was sweet and funny, and I loved all the characters - Nikaido, Kona-kun, and the alien. The art and character designs were adorable, and I loved the facial expressions that Nikaido made as she reacted to the very weird situation of an alien sharing a body with a human. This has a very absurd premise, and the absurdness turned into hilarity and wholesomeness in this story.

This manga was such a good mood booster - it’s a perfect read for when you need a cute and quick pick me up!

I can’t wait to see where this series goes, and I’m eagerly anticipating the next volume!

What a fun read! I haven’t laughed out loud reading a manga in a while. The story seems sweet and silly, the main character a typical lonely girl who ends up becoming friends with an alien. The dynamic of the main character being friends with the alien while being enemies with the host is so funny to read. I hope to continue this series as it releases!

I've read somewhere a manga of the same kind but I don't remember the title. I can't help but think the progress and the storyline going to depict the same way too. We shall see. Is he really what he is or does he have some sort of split personality or delusional? Only time will tell. It was a good and funny story. I can't help but sympathise with our main characters though. Can't wait to see what happens in volume 2!

Thank you, NetGalley and Kodansha Comics for the approval.

It's cute but it just didn't grab me enough to want to finish it. It's a quick read in the form of a quirky romance with a very soft sci-fi spin that has promise but didn't get off the ground in the first volume.

This manga is absurd in the most entertaining way. The premise of it sounded fun, and I emoted so hard while reading this. It was charming in some places, heartfelt in others, and ridiculously amusing. I can't wait for volume 2!

No one in school remembers Miyako’s name. She has accepted that she is a “nobody” to her peers. Then, one night, Miyako runs into a Koga – the most popular boy in school and her classmate. She, at first, believes he is teasing her by claiming to be an alien and by wanting to be her friend. However, Koga/Chiro is the only person who acknowledges Miyako’s existence.
First off, I could not help but identify and empathize with Miyako. I know how it feels to be a nobody to the people around me.
Koga and Chiro are two different personalities. Koga is manipulative. Chiro is sweet-natured and kind. The alien angle is a bit hard to accept. I think I would have liked it better if Chiro had been another personality of Koga’s.
I am on the fence about this manga. It is a quick read, but I am uncertain if I want to continue with it.

This was a surprisingly quick read. I am still not sure what to think about the plot though. I think I am going to be upset if Chiro-chan isn't real, unless this is handled very deftly.

I look forward to finding out.

First off thank you netgalley for providing me with the opportunity to review this manga. This was a calming and delightful read. The art work is cute and the banter between characters is enjoyable. Even though we really only have three characters in this first book.

If you are looking for a light/fluffy shojo manga that has fake dating and a loner female character. This would be the manga for you.
