Reviews for H!gh & Low

This isn’t something new. There are a lot of mangas like this and there’s even one where the FMC is 8 feet tall. The artstyle is decent nothing too special. Plot is typical generic high school setting. The MC is your typical generic rom com protagonist. He’s not likeable but I will say he’s decent. On paper it the manga looks cute but it’s actually depressing. My main problem with the manga is the FMC. The only way she knows how to communicate with the Mc is constant teasing. Every chapter literally involves her teasing and making fun of the MC’s height all the time.A few jabs may be fine find but continuous jabbing is just straight up an annoyance and the constant put down on someone is very depressing to a person who has a height inferiority. It’s like all that she talks about with the Mc is reminding him that he’s short. Nothing else I’m not even sure whether she likes him or not. She’s just like Nagatoro San who seek thrill in seeing people suffer. If she were to confess to me I would reject her cause with her attitude and behavior I can’t tell whether she’s being honest or she’s being playful. I don’t know how constantly putting someone down is seen as wholesome. I hope to see some character progression from the Mc and FMC most especially the FMC in the future.

Personally, I really enjoy this manga. This type of story has probably been done countless times before, but I found myself enjoying every chapter I've read so far. its not a doujinshi BTW. The art style was great and easy on the eyes but I did find myself wanting a little more detail in terms of the background characters and settings in general. The ML of the manga is likeable although he may be a little mediocre and average in terms of romance manga male leads. He doesn't really have any definable features besides being short and being the senpai. The FL on the otherhand is pretty great. She reminds me of Nagataro-san (from Please Don't Bully Me Nagataro-san). She has a tomboyish attitude and often tries to get her senpai's Attention by making fun of his height.

Its a pretty average Rom-com slice of life manga so don't expect this manga to revolutionize the rom-com genre.

Overall, I enjoyed reading this and I liked seeing the interactions between the main characters even though one of them seemed a little average. The art style and character designs were great in my opinion and I overall found myself wanting to read more even though I tell myself that it's your average Rom-com manga.

This is my first review by the way.
