古オタクの恋わずらい [Inishie Otaku no Koiwazurai] #1

A girl in a school uniform clutches a colorful stack of manga magazines to her chest, blushing furiously, while a basketball-holding boy watches from over her shoulder with quiet intensity — and the heart-strewn, sketch-filled background makes the romantic tension wonderfully clear. This opening volume of Inishie Otaku no Koiwazurai from Kodansha's Comics Kiss line sets up a charming will-they-won't-they between an old-school manga fan and, it seems, someone from a very different world. It's a warm, relatable premise rendered in bright, expressive art that fans of school romance manga will find immediately inviting.
