Oppai Momitai~tte Sakendara, Imouto no Tomodachi to Tsukiau Koto ni Narimashita Novel Review

My Thoughts on Oppai Momitai~tte Sakendara, Imouto no Tomodachi to Tsukiau Koto ni Narimashita

Okay, let's dive into "Oppai Momitai~tte Sakendara, Imouto no Tomodachi to Tsukiau Koto ni Narimashita" (which I'm just going to shorten to "Oppai Momitai" for my sanity!). The title definitely grabs your attention, doesn't it? But is there more to it than just a suggestive name? Here's what I think.

First Impressions

Honestly, the title made me raise an eyebrow. I went in expecting something… different. Maybe a bit more crass? But I was pleasantly surprised. It seems like the initial impression is misleading, and there's actually a pretty sweet story underneath.

What Works Well

The overwhelming positive feedback I've seen focuses on the sheer sweetness of this rom-com. It's described as "diabetes inducing," and I can totally see why. The relationship development seems to be the main draw, with a strong emphasis on how cute and heartwarming everything is.

The female lead also gets a lot of praise. She's portrayed as bold and proactive, taking the initiative in the relationship. Apparently, she's been crushing on the MC since elementary school, which adds a layer of depth and devotion to the story. The fact that she was willing to go to the same highschool as the MC despite previously attending an all-girls middle school shows just how devoted she is. This "love interest falls in love first" trope is definitely a selling point for many readers, and it seems to be executed well here. It's also been mentioned that, despite the title, the story is actually quite innocent, with the MC's outburst being more of a frustrated vent than a genuine desire.

Areas of Concern

While the majority of feedback is positive, there are some dissenting opinions. One reader found the MC to be too idiotic and clownish, preferring a more gloomy or ordinary protagonist. They dropped the series because they couldn't connect with the MC's personality. This highlights that the humor might not be for everyone. If you prefer a more serious or introspective MC, this might not be your cup of tea.

Final Verdict

Overall, "Oppai Momitai" seems like a surprisingly wholesome and sweet rom-com, despite its suggestive title. If you're looking for a lighthearted and cute story with a bold female lead and don't mind a somewhat goofy MC, this might be right up your alley. However, if you prefer a more serious or grounded protagonist, you might want to steer clear. I'd say it's worth checking out a few chapters to see if it clicks with your tastes.
