3/5  - 2nd read (2022)

I had paused at this volume for quite a few months and needed to do a re-read to continue with volumes 7-11. With this re-read, I did catch a bit more and I am starting to distinguish the characters; however, it still was not my no.1 favorite volume. This series isn't bad but there is just too much going on within the volumes and nothing is really getting accomplished. The plot still is so confusing and most of the characters look alike - especially Masahiro and Asaya. The only way to truly distinguish them is Masahiro has earrings and Asaya mostly wears sweater vests.

I don't see the packed panels going away in this series which is the biggest issue Hitorijimie My Hero faces. I shouldn't be getting a headache when reading manga. The panels are chaos and have been since the beginning. I feel as if each volume gets worse with how much the author packs into one tiny panel.

3.75/5 - 1st read (2021)

This was definitely a great volume that gave us more of a look into the side characters' stories! Especially the relationship between Kensuke and Asaya. I wasn’t a fan of using Masahiro for revenge but it played out well enough! And that beach scene! Ugh, I squealed so much.

What I am most frustrated with, and I am noticing it’s getting worse with each volume, is not knowing where the speech and dialogue are coming from. Some you can guess with but there are 3-5 dialogue bubbles in each small panel and it’s becoming too much. Also, the bubbles won’t point to who is always talking. This is something I noticed getting worse with each volume and not getting better. 

At times I feel like there are way too many side characters. I think a few are nice but having this many and you don’t really know their names or how they connect, is just annoying.
