I Don’t Know If I Like You

Synopsis

[Review by Yamamoto Daisuke] “I Don’t Know If I Like You” is a bittersweet school love story depicting the first experience of a tomboy heroine. Watching an authentic girl struggle with her own feelings as she deepens her relationship with her lover is absolutely precious. The way things start exploratory and gradually escalate is packed with adorable moments.

Those fleeting instances when her true feelings peek through her characteristic tomboy bravado are irresistible. The character psychology is well-developed, making this feel like more than just adult manga—you genuinely sense the growth of their relationship. Chie no Genseki Azuse Kenkyuusho carefully constructs each character across their works, resulting in impressive overall quality including the emotional aspects.

The artwork is soft and satisfying in length. A masterpiece that perfectly combines the “innocent charm of youth” and “world for two” aesthetic that earns high ratings. Highly recommended for those who want both romantic elements and adult content. Other tomboy works and carefully-crafted first-time romance stories from this circle are also worth checking out.
