You Should Read "You and I are Polar Opposites"
I'm not sure when exactly I was clued into this super cute high school romance manga, but I've been a huge fan ever since. It follows a pair of high schoolers who are, as the title teases, polar opposites, but nevertheless are attracted to each other and make a good couple.
And then, slowly, you see another polar opposite pairing growing. And another is being teased.
I love that this series is absolutely mundane. There's nothing here that strikes a person as being wildly unrealistic. There's nothing supernatural, there's no wildly wealthy characters or stupidly powerful student council. There is angst, but it's realistic angst.
And it has this guy:
Meet Taira. You know how relatable a lot of people found Ishigami from Kaguya-sama? Taira is like that, but more realistic. He doesn't have that massive moment of trauma: he's experienced many little moments over the years, moments that taught him to keep his mouth quiet and do nothing to make people notice him.
He's come a long way since his first appearance, when he was saying some incel-ly sort of things, but he grew from that immediately. He's still got a way to go, but he knows he's got problems and he wants to deal with them, even if he has no idea how to.
Anyway, it's a great series, you should read it, here's chapter 1.
Edit: from a previous blog post, it appears that I started reading it October 2022. Thanks, me!

These two and their families are so wholesome. I love how despite the two leads being together already, the mangaka still find ways to keep it interesting by exploring how they communicate and get to know each other. There's still a lot of room to grow in a relationship. Not to mention their great chemistry and hilarious interactions together and with other people is so, so much fun!
