           The anime I genuinely enjoyed. It's like a gendered swapped Milo Murphy's Law but with a love interest. Shikimori and Izumi genuinely love each other. They're cute together and their strengths and weaknesses compliment each other.

The manga, though, being so gagged focus takes much longer to establish the leads' as fully realized characters. I felt like I was reading more into each scene from having seen the anime. Had I just read the manga, I would probably be rating volume one two or three stars.

Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie 2

The chapters remain fairly episodic and gag centered. Although the main gag is Izumi's curse of clumsiness, bad luck, and injury, there is more focus too on his relationship with Shikimori. While she can and does feel jealousy if someone else comes to Izumi's rescue, she doesn't go so far as to feel that their relationship is off.

As Izumi's curse has been well established by now, this one focuses more on the dynamics of the larger friend group. We get to see how Izumi despite his bad luck brings out the best in people. We also see how willing he is to put himself in the middle of danger if it means helping someone.
