Let me start this review with the problematics: As a fat person I often search for things with my representation. Unironically its hard to find a piece of media that focuses on an overweight female but occasionally I come across stuff like Kiss Him Not Me. At first I was very excited to begin reading this seemed right up my alley But... The beginning of the story is pretty fatphobic. Let me introduce you to the characters: Serinuma the MC who actually doesnt give 2 SHITS about her own appearance so thats REALLY COOL. Shes a fujoshi so all that she cares about REALLY is... two guys doing it. Preferably if its her otp understandably but if its ANY two guys thats super fine too. Nanashima the Douche. You know the type: blonde looks kinda mean but is actually a softie usually is the one who gets the girl? Yeah. Is he the one who ends up with her? lol Ill never tell. But he DOES look like Shion Serinumas favorite character. Igarashi the Leader. I... dont know how to describe him? Hes a decent guy one of the most decent out of them and his character growth is a nice surprise. Hes not exactly a douchebag like Nana but hes not as nice as Mutsumi. So hes like... a middle ground between them. Shinomiya the Shota who is basically Nanashima but smallsized. I dont even know how much of this is a joke and how much of this is the truth lmao I SWEAR theyre very much alike. Mutsumi the Nice Guy. Hes literally the NICEST guy. Top notch Gentleman with a capital G. Hes just a little... oblivious. Nishina the Lesbian and yes Its a girl Who wants to date Serinuma She loves beautiful things shes also a doujinshi artist and becomes one of Serinumas best friends. Unsurprisingly enough shed be one of the best options for her to end with :P Sounds like a fun and different cast right? It is Except some of them are fatphobic. That is: when Serinuma was fat they paid her no mind and some of them even treat her badly but when she got thin ALL OF THEM suddenly became interested. Huh. How strange. There are some moments in the story when she gets back to being fat for whatever reason and these same characters are the first ones to find a way to make her thin again as if shes only attractive when shes in a fitting form. This happens at the beginning of the manga and it was such a turnoff to me that I went MONTHS without reading it until I finally had the courage to pick it back up. But once the fatphobia part wasnt so prominent... it was a breeze to read through. Its usually filled with light humor and cute shippy moments they all have their one shot with Serinuma before she realizes who she really likes. And heres a surprise: theres actually some serious moments between the middle to the end of the story Junko puts the humor and light moments in the back burner and decides to go for the drama and gooey shoujo romance that we all secretly love. Its very satisfying to see all these characters grow both as individuals and together as a group of friends. Its especially cute how even after Serinuma chose one of them the rest of them still stuck around and kept being friends with everybody. It stopped being a rivalry and it became friendship even though they sometimes like to snap at one another haha This manga is worth at least a shot even though it doesnt get close to what Ouran is one of my favorite mangas and in my opinion the best reverse harem it is still pretty nice. And if you dont care about the fat issue I suppose youll have an easier time getting through the beginning.
