I was expecting just a cute story, but it's turning out to be quite comedic, with just the tiniest bit of tension and drama. The pacing is done incredibly well and if you like a cute, slow burn friendship style "romance" between the main character, Botan, and her love interest, Koganei Shoma, than I would recommend giving this a read. The comedy is top tier and well played throughout the series and Nozaki, Botan's butler, is the perfect comedy relief/older brother figure to tie everything together. This comic has a healthy ratio of using tropes to its advantage and also subverting tropes so it doesn't get too predicable and stays fresh. Even with all the foiled plots, you still want to see Botan and Shoma have a happy ending in their own way and Botan is honestly just adorable. She reads less childish, in my opinion, and as girl who had just been far, far too sheltered in her life, hence that's why she comes off as clueless as she does.
