Description
The protagonist, Kisaragi Manaka, had fallen in love for the first time in his life when he was in his second-year of middle school. Clear skin, black hair and eyes, a lovely face, and a kind and cheerful personality. He fell in love with such a girl, Kannazuki Sayaka. They didn’t have any particular connections with each other, nor were they in the same class. However, when she talked to Manaka in one of their joint lessons, he fell in love with her in an instant. Yes, it was the so-called “love at first sight”. From then on, Manaka worked very hard. When he heard that Kannazuki thought people who could study well are cool, he studied like mad. When he heard that she thought athletic guys are cool, he went to a gym. He did all of those for the sake of going out with her. However, Manaka had suddenly heard devastating news. It was when he was in the third-year of middle school, that he heard Kannazuki was going out with a guy from another school. At that moment, Manaka’s first love had ended. Nonetheless, when Manaka became a first-year highschool student, he still couldn’t throw that first love away. “I already know that she’s already dating someone, but I… still love her.” He was certain that venturing out and finding a new love would be for the best. However, he still couldn’t give up his feelings. Then, a certain incident resulted in him having to rescue the class’ top beauty, Hiiragi Stella. She had long blonde hair and a refined demeanor. A half-british girl who is always surrounded by people in the class, otherwise known as the popular “Saint.” The incident resulted in Hiiragi approaching Manaka, however the latter, having not yet forgotten his first love, dismissed it as something trivial. At first, both of them were in an awkward relationship, but as they spent more time together, teaching each other how to cook, and helping each other clean, they eventually grew closer to each other. However, his first love caused many problems and their relationship was at her mercy.

The British Girl Wants To Say “Suki”, Not “I Love You” (WN) Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on The British Girl Wants To Say “Suki”, Not “I Love You” (WN)
Alright, let's dive into "The British Girl Wants To Say “Suki”, Not “I Love You” (WN)". This is a modern-day school life romance that piqued my interest with its quirky title and the promise of some lighthearted comedy. After reading, I've got some thoughts to share.
First Impressions
The premise is fairly classic: boy meets girl, boy falls head over heels, girl seems unattainable. Our male protagonist is smitten with a beautiful classmate, and after overhearing her "ideal type," he dedicates himself to becoming that person. However, she gets a boyfriend, and he is heartbroken. Fast forward a bit, and he ends up rescuing a British girl from some bullies, discovering they're neighbors. So far, so good. It definitely has a familiar feel to series like "Otonari no Tenshi sama," which isn't necessarily a bad thing if you're looking for something similar.
What Works Well
The initial setup is quite engaging. The whole "neighbor" trope is always a fun way to kickstart a romance, and the British girl's character seems interesting enough to hold my attention. I enjoyed the initial interactions between the two leads and found myself rooting for them. The comedy is present, though not laugh-out-loud hilarious, it provides a light and enjoyable atmosphere.
Areas of Concern
My main concern is the male lead's indecisiveness. This seems to become a more prominent issue later in the story, potentially leading to some frustrating moments. I also feel like the story is a bit slow-paced. If you're expecting a fast-paced rom-com full of dramatic twists, this might not be it. It's more of a slow-burn, slice-of-life type of story.

Final Verdict
"The British Girl Wants To Say “Suki”, Not “I Love You” (WN)" is a decent read if you're looking for a light and fluffy romance to pass the time. It's not groundbreaking, but it has its charms. However, be warned about the potential for the indecisive MC and the possible love triangle dynamic. If you're okay with those elements, give it a shot! Otherwise, you might want to look elsewhere.
