I seem to be reading a lot of really adorable manga recently and I'm not even remotely mad about it!
Miyako Nikaido is invisible, no one at school even knows her name and she is pretty okay with that. All she needs is her dog videos to cheer her up when someone calls her by a name that is not her own. That is until she runs into the super popular Shuichiro Kuga one evening, and she discovers that he is not really Kuga-Kun at all but an alien inhabiting his body and that alien wants to be friends! Now Chiro Chan and Miya Chan have to work through the perpetually grouchy Kuga-Kun if they want to keep up their friendship and Kuga-Kun doesn't plan on making it easy for them!
This was super cute as a human that was a loner in school I can completely understand how Miya felt, finding one special friend can make all of the difference when you realize you are lonely. I also enjoyed how the alien is presented in this book. I honestly can't stand anything with aliens normally (unless it's Sgt. Frog) so having the alien (if it is an alien, I have some theories on that already) be a super cute boy was incredibly helpful.
Overall this was an adorable first volume and I'm looking forward to the next one!
Thanks to Netgalley and Kodansha for the free eArc of this manga!
