It Takes more than a Pretty Face to Fall in Love and I'm so OBSESSED with this manga
First, I need to say that I'm OBSESSED with this manga, so expect a totally biased review!

Chiken Sana is an airheaded girl who is obsessed with guys with beautiful faces (can we blame her? LOL) and chose to attend Minowa Sougou High School basically because of her "eye candy": Ugou Kanato, an extremely handsome senior who supposedly studies there.

After a series of hilarious events, Chiken (admit it, you're reading "Chicken") ends up meeting her idol and becomes responsible for his Instagram account, where their main goal is to reach a certain number of followers so that the boy doesn't get expelled from school (the school principal is terrible LOL). Since the girl is addicted to social media and good-looking guys, the task is more than enjoyable for her. It's really fun to see the female protagonist having mini meltdowns because of Kanato-senpai's beauty.

I know some people are bothered by Kanato's "apathy," but I see him as an extremely reserved guy who had the "misfortune" of being born handsome LOL. Their relationship development happens in an adorable way, and Kanato gradually reveals that he's not just a pretty face but an enchanting guy. It becomes clear that he has various issues because of his appearance and getting closer to Chiken allows him to be a bit more himself.

It's also been really cute to see the female protagonist dealing with her feelings: from the excitement of having such a gorgeous guy close to her, to the realization that it's not just his looks that make him incredible and that she was truly falling for him. I found myself laughing out loud at many moments due to the "number one fan of handsome guys" outbursts and the situations she puts herself in.

I believe that the security of being able to admire pretty guys from afar is one of the things that brings immense happiness to Chiken, which made me think about the feelings we have for idols: we're happy when they're happy, even though they don't even know we exist (LOL). When she finds herself involved with these people in real life, she needs to learn how to deal with this overwhelming excitement and needs to grow up (but still maintains her fangirl personality, which is very nice).

Of course, I have to highlight another one of my favorite characters: Doigaki! Seriously, the best plot in this manga! His personality is wonderful and... I won't give any more details to avoid spoiling the story.

To wrap up this review that is actually a love letter to It Takes More than a Pretty Face to Fall in Love, I highly recommend this manga as a light-hearted title where you don't need to take things too seriously and can have many laughs and meltdowns with the cute romantic scenes.
