One night Nasa is walking down the street until he gets a fateful encounter with a beautiful woman called Tsukasa. One thing after another Nasa asks her out and ends up marrying her. Tonikaku Kawaii tells the story of these newlyweds and how the couples relationship will develop even though theyve already reached the main goal. To me this manga is the equivalent of rom com wholesome crack. This series has also cured my depression increased my height 5 inches solved economic inequality and united the world effectively bringing world peace. Okay maybe most of that isnt true but my point is I that I am a big advocatorsimp of this manga because its awesome as hell What follows will probably be incoherent and nonsensical ramblings as I continue to demonstrate how I am too passionate about something that not many people will be.
First off let us get our protagonists out of the way.
First we have the man the madlad the legendary rare SSR male individual Nasa.

This dude is simply amazing hes a smart lad as he grinded away in his studies and other things to become a real legend and show his dominance over anyone that makes fun of his name. In turn however he is not very nerdy in other things like video games and other fun media which leads to many epic for real on God misunderstandings in the beginning. He is also straight up and very honest towards people which creates epic and hilarious conversations in this series. Overall hes a GOAT.
Next we have the awesome cute and epic wife that is Tsukasa.

Shes like pretty chill and honestly a cool person. She unlike Nasa has consumed a ton of media like the very movies and videos games that he can be unaware of. She honestly loves Nasa for the person he is which is very sweet and wholesome. She is also quite knowledgeable regarding the history of Japan although weird that she seems to know so much that its almost like shes lived through history itself spoiler140s . Anyways despite being embarrassed at points Tsukasa is fine with being affectionate or showing affection for Nasa when situations call for it. Does all this make her character interesting though? Probably not but Id say she does put her own spin on the rom com thing. Shes not a damsel in distress or soulless husk with no distinguishing personality traits besides being a bimbo thats marketable so I think she stands out from anyone else. Anyways shes a sigma and BASED and KINO thats all.
The side characters are all alright. I never found any issues with them but there is the occasional trope or three thats one note and may not land with you. This could be repetitive which is a small downside to this. However one side character that I would like to give an honorable mention to is:
Kaname Arisugawa

She at the beginning is mostly there to comment in and make some dirty jokes but I dont think I give her enough credit. She overall is pretty chill and is pretty responsible and mature given that shes also there to give advice to both Nasa and Tsukasa on stuff to improve their relationship. She also helps the couple when theyre facing troubles not about the relationship. Kaname also occasionally teases them both when theres an opportunity making her a bit of a troll and funny at times. I mention her because shes a great addition to the series and a good source of comedy if the chapters werent already entertaining enough. Or maybe Im just wrong idk
Since Ive already passed the character limit I might as well say a few other things. The art is nice and while definitely not going to blow your mind or anything does fit and compliment the story well imo. To list some bad things about this series Id probably say that it is possible that it will be boring as I could see people calling this repetitive as it is mostly sol. Another thing that could put off people is the question of If they are already together what is the point of the series? as the progress and buildup of the two main love interests confessing to each other is gone unlike examples like Oregairu/SNAFU or something more recent like Kaguya Sama: Love is War. If you are looking for that maybe this series isnt for you.
The anime is a good option even though some chapters are skipped/moved around. I would say the manga is better but honestly either should be fine. At the time of this review season 2https://anilist.co/anime/141208/TonikakuKawaii2/ has been confirmed but no release date has been given yet. When you would be finished with the anime it would be up to you if you would want to wait or continue with the mangashould be around the 30s to 40s. I enjoyed the anime when it aired so I dont mind the wait since all tonikaku is good for me.
In conclusion Im giving this a 100/100 10/10 100/10 the max score etc to this series. I will disclaim that I am not blessed with the art of constructing god tier analysis and deep reviews into series I see as I usually just nod my head to a series thats good add it rate it high and call it a day here. But since I had time to kill I decided I wanted to share my opinions about this manga in particular because its just that raw based kino goat chad and peak. Take my review with many grains of salt as this ultimately is just unorganized ramblings that came up in the 23 hours typing this up. I hope by doing this it has persuaded or convinced more people to check it out. I think theres a decent amount already but hey couldnt hurt to add a few more
Thank you guys for sitting through this mess This is my first one so i dont know if I did a good job or not. anyways.... GOATKAKU FOREVER fist up emoji fire emoji
