Description

Kurusu Rurina, a (mid-term) transfer high school girl, doesn’t adjust well to her new class due to her apathetic and withdrawn attitude. On the other hand, Kaburagi Ritsu has an ability to hear other people’s inner thoughts. With that, he can act wisely to live a life that is far from all the problems that will come to him. At first glance, Rurina seemed like the type of person who couldn’t succeed due to her lack of social skills. But strangely, she always looked up at him excitedly thinking “I want to be friends with Kaburagi-kun!” Talking about Rurina again, she’s a pretty girl but difficult to be approached and doesn’t get along. He often glared at Kaburagi-kun’s seat, but actually──. (Kaburagi-kun, your sleeping face is so cute…I want to see it all the time) Against his will, this ability is passively activated, thus repeatedly making Kaburagi feel uncomfortable. And of course, those beautiful thoughts── Kaburagi-kun could hear them too!

My Thoughts on Shaberanai Kurusu-san Kokoro no Naka wa Suki de Ippai

First Impressions

"Shaberanai Kurusu-san Kokoro no Naka wa Suki de Ippai" – quite a mouthful, I know! But the premise alone was enough to pique my interest: a girl who doesn't speak, overflowing with inner thoughts of affection. It immediately brought to mind similar stories with silent heroines, and I was eager to see how this one would differentiate itself. Going in, I expected a fluffy, lighthearted read, perfect for a quick escape.

What Works Well

The strongest aspect of this novel, in my opinion, is the sheer charm of Kurusu-san herself. Her good-natured personality, combined with a touch of endearing clumsiness, makes her incredibly lovable. The author does a fantastic job of conveying her inner thoughts, creating a delightful contrast between her silent exterior and the bubbly, affectionate world within. The protagonist is also quite likeable, proactively engaging with Kurusu-san in a way that feels both natural and heartwarming. The romance is definitely a slow burn, but it's filled with sweet, tender moments that kept me invested. I also appreciated the comedic elements, which were sprinkled throughout the story to keep things light and entertaining.

Areas of Concern

While I thoroughly enjoyed the novel, I can acknowledge it's not without its flaws. The plot, at times, felt a little predictable, falling into familiar tropes of the genre. I also found myself wanting a bit more depth regarding Kurusu-san's silence. While it adds to her mystique, I was left wondering about the specific reasons behind it. Is it a conscious choice, or is there a deeper underlying cause? Exploring this aspect further would have added another layer to her character and the overall narrative.

Final Verdict

Despite some minor shortcomings, "Shaberanai Kurusu-san Kokoro no Naka wa Suki de Ippai" is a delightful and heartwarming read. It's a perfect choice if you're looking for a lighthearted romance with a charming heroine and a proactive protagonist. While the plot might not be groundbreaking, the characters and the overall atmosphere make it a worthwhile and enjoyable experience. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try, especially if you're a fan of the comedy, romance, and school life genres.
