Description
“The thrill of my smartphone vibrating in sync with the heartbeat of the boy I like is the best.” She is the top national mock exam scorer, a high school student who earns a hefty sum with her programming skills. Yet, Kujo Kurenai, who dislikes people and speaks to no one, was deeply in love with her classmate seated next to her, Miyashiro Kuuya. Confused by her first-ever feelings of affection, Kurenai found a hobby in collecting information about Kuuya using her advanced technical skills. Based on the information gathered, she would speak to Kuuya once every ten days, marking her days with a painful longing. However, Kuuya possesses a special ability to “see people’s emotions as colors” and has noticed Kurenai’s secret affection—! A love comedy filled with missed connections between a high-spec girl who can’t express her feelings and a boy with special abilities who’s distrustful of love! — (Note: We’re using the title from the cover (small english text on the left side of the image.)

My Thoughts on As I Know Anything About You, I’ll Be The One To Your Girlfriend, Aren’t I?
First Impressions
Okay, so, with a title like As I Know Anything About You, I’ll Be The One To Your Girlfriend, Aren’t I?, I went in expecting a lighthearted, maybe even silly, read. And while it definitely has its comedic moments, particularly from Kurenai's perspective as she navigates some… questionable decisions, I quickly realized there was a lot more depth simmering beneath the surface. It's a story about overcoming past trauma, the complexities of love, and the sacrifices we make for the people we care about.
What Works Well
The comedic elements are genuinely funny. Kurenai's self-deprecation and bashfulness are endearing, and her interactions with Suika, the childhood friend, provide some really enjoyable moments. The author does a great job of balancing the lightheartedness with heavier themes, making it a compelling read. I think the romance truly shines when Suika is involved, adding another layer of complexity to the relationships. The way the author weaves in flashbacks to explore the characters' pasts is also well-done, adding significant depth and context to their present actions.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the overall journey, the ending left me feeling a little unsatisfied. It feels like the author went out of their way to specify that Kuuya and Suika weren't dating in the epilogue and that Kurenai hadn't given up. Considering how childhood friends rarely win, I was pleasantly surprised when the tide started turning in her favor.

If you're looking for a story that will make you laugh, think, and feel, then I recommend giving this one a try. Just be prepared for a bit of an emotional rollercoaster!
