My Thoughts on Osananajimi to Sekkusu-gokko o Hajimete, 10-nen ga Tatta

Alright, let's dive into Osananajimi to Sekkusu-gokko o Hajimete, 10-nen ga Tatta (that's a mouthful!). This one's a romance with a heavy dose of ecchi and school life shenanigans, focusing on childhood friends. I went in expecting a heartwarming story, and while there were moments that hinted at that, my overall experience was a bit mixed.

First Impressions

The premise is certainly intriguing. Two childhood friends engaging in a "sex-ed" game that spans a decade? It has potential for both comedic and touching moments. The early chapters introduce us to the anti-social male protagonist and his beautiful, outgoing childhood friend. The dynamic is set up quickly, and I was curious to see how their relationship would evolve.

What Works Well

The core strength of the story lies in its focus on the evolving relationship between the two leads. I enjoyed seeing their interactions, and the author does a decent job portraying the awkwardness and sweetness that can arise from such a unique situation. The "first-time interc**rse" tag suggests a significant turning point, and the build-up to it does create some anticipation. The story definitely leans into the 'heartwarming' aspect, aiming for a feel-good vibe.

Areas of Concern

My main issue is the pacing and the overall depth. I found myself wanting more substance. The interactions, while cute, sometimes felt a bit shallow, lacking the emotional resonance I was hoping for. The development felt a bit rushed in places, and I wished the author had explored the characters' inner thoughts and motivations more thoroughly. I really wanted to see some real development and more happen overall.

Final Verdict

Osananajimi to Sekkusu-gokko o Hajimete, 10-nen ga Tatta is a light and fluffy read that might appeal to those looking for a quick and easy romance with ecchi elements. However, if you're seeking a story with significant depth and complex character development, you might find it lacking. It's not a bad story, but it didn't quite live up to its potential in my opinion.
