I’ve read the first half of week 1 so far and this has been… interesting. I don’t think I’ve actually read a book/LN in Japanese with a teenager narrator so far… it’s definitely something to get used to. Probably would have been a less cringe read for the me of 10~15 years ago, lol

I’m about in that same place and I was also thinking that it was both easy to read and ALSO kinda

Finished the week…I thought I had a lot farther to go but I only had about 2 pages left 
I also realized that the percentages are different on my Kindle and the PC, so annoyingly, take the ending percentage as an approximate location. 
Thoughts
In the first half of the reading 七瀬 was pretty annoying, but meeting 藤野 seemed to improve his mood 
I don’t entirely have trouble suspending my disbelief that these two would start to hang out, based on their shared interests, so that’s also a plus.
I’m curious if we’ll ever learn more about the girls from the other school that are there to see 藤野, or if that’s just to demonstrate how much of an イケメン he is.

Yeah, my ending point was 15% (or page 21, out of 144). But often my version doesn’t match exactly so I’m used to it

Yeah, I feel like he (fortunately) got a bit less annoying as time passed in the story. 藤野 does seem to have a lot of otaku interests, so that’s nice.
The part about the girls from the other school is wild - they were all asking for 藤野’s number and ignoring 七瀬… sounds like a typical stereotypical scenario, but I always find it so weird thinking of an irl comparison.
I do feel like there’s already some good development of their friendship in the beginning, which is nice - I think it would be boring if the story was too slow otherwise. But I’m curious to see how the story will move forward.

Yayy I caught up on time! A teen narrative is completely new to me. It’s so easy to read that I feel like it should be N3. I’m also reading 世界から猫が消えたなら, and it’s marked at the same level but definitely much harder. Maybe イケメン is easy because of the type of story/age group etc.

I cringed twice while reading this, which probably means the teen narration is spot on It’s cute at times too! The onomatopoeia is a bit of a struggle (my number 1 nemesis) but I guess this is exactly what I need to get better at them.
I’m glad that 七瀬 and 藤野 are slowly starting to get along, and it’s cute how 七瀬 notices small things like his shoulder being dry after sharing an umbrella haha.
I’m also curious to see if the entire story will mostly revolve around these two or if we’ll be introduced to side characters

I definitely agree this is easier than L27, unless something changes a lot between now and the end. This is quite a bit easier than クラスで2番目に可愛い女の子と友だちになった | L27.
Haha definitely!! It’s like, pretty awkward to read, but in a way that feels kinda real. I do hope that we’re past most of that though.

I hope not, cause it’s the perfect level for me to enjoy reading smoothly and pick up a lot of words along the way hehe

Lmao, 七瀬 can’t even remember his homeroom teacher’s name? It’s a miracle he half-remembered 藤野’s…

Still very slowly reading through this first section; just got to the part where 七瀬 was able to run to the bookstore to grab the new volume of his fav manga and bumped hands with 藤本 藤野. I’m getting strong “藤野 set up this situation on purpose” vibes and I’m here for it. 
I’m loving that it’s just a chill read so far; getting some good vocab like 恐るべし as well.
Also, 藤野 has ぐちゃぐちゃ’d 七瀬’s hair twice now, and I’m pretty sure that’s two more times than normal high school boys do. Very suspicious, what could he be planning.

Finished this first part! A part of me wonders if 藤野 made efforts to branch out into 七瀬’s particular fandoms so he could chat with him about them.
