*REMINDER* i have not yet read nozoki Ana So this review is solely based on nozo x Kimi And judging on the reviews here, Nozo x Kimi was heavily inspired by Nozoki Ana. I’ve only read up to ch.48 the rest is not translated :( Apparently there is a sequel to nozo x kimi Called “nozo x kimi 2 nensei hen” but I can’t find it anywhere so I don’t know if there’s more to the story so consider this review only up to ch.48.
*Tiny spoilers*

CHARACTERS 8/10
ART 8/10
STORY 7/10

STORY
I thought At first it was gonna be a Crazy NTR based on the first chapters but then I took a big turn and made it Feel more like a good Rommance ecchi manga. Later on, Bits And pieces made it more romantic which was really nice. Then Around Ch. 35 I thought the story was getting worse and worse, Like it wasn’t original And the author didn’t feel like herself. Towards the end It kinda got better but I don’t really know since it’s not finished translating. I feel like we got the short end of the stick honestly. I was expecting Later in the story that Kimio start a relationship with Nozomi and Become close Lovers but ey it is what it is.

ART
The manga art is pretty nice I think it’s not a masterpiece because I feel like it could be more dynamic. I really loved the How at every start of chapter you get this beautiful art page That has a meaning to the same chapter and makes a great wallpaper. The way the author draws hair and bodies is the strongest Part for me.

CHARACTERS
I Like the main characters a lot they definitely fit the roll and doesn’t get sidetracked. The side characters was good and bad, The bad part being that the author didn’t really use previous characters after their own Little story, It can be nice to see what happened in the Long run in future arcs With older side characters. The good part was the author made the manga feel more wide And realistic By Showing different aspects and scenarios of love with couple example cheating, Introverted, Perverted etc.
