DESCRIPTION
The hapless hero of Nyankoi! is Junpei Kosaka, a guy who not only hates cats, he's deathly allergic to them. So it's kind of bummer that he has a crush on a classmate who adores kitties, and things go from bad to worse when he accidentally angers a guardian deity of cats who bestows upon him a gift and a curse. He can now understand what cats say, but he must grant 100 wishes from cats or he'll be turned into a cat himself!

Nyan Koi! is an overlooked romcom-harem series with a slightly more unique premise and easy-to-get-into humorContinue on AniListNyan Koi!
Series experience: I saw the anime a few years ago
*Unfortunately, the manga is on indefinite hiatus. The author started a new series this year, so this is probably going to remain unfinished forever.
Short review: Nyan Koi! is your typical high school romcom/harem but with cats, so it’s better (lol). It’s actually quite funny and is a fun ride for those who do try to get into it.
Full review:
Warning: review contains spoilers
Being one of those harem anime, I don’t think we should expect too much in the way of plot. Still, the premise is quite cute, with the cats and all. The cats are actually not side accessories in this and they have roles (and entire chapters) about them. I personally think the whole idea of having 100 wishes to grant does give us a direction, and we while we see Junpei going through the wishes, there’s also a bit of development with the romances. Like the usual pattern for these kinds of stories, only two girls actually have a sort of chance, and well, everyone is also there for fanservice. There’s no harm, though, as Nyan Koi does exactly as it intends and doesn't try to be overwhelming. Sadly, by the latest chapter there are still plenty of wishes to go and neither Junpei nor any of the girls have seriously confessed. I would have liked to see how the entire series wraps up.
The characters, both humans and cats, are adorable. The girls are likeable, and despite a lot of them playing your typical harem roles, they’re not super forgettable. The main girl Mizuno is sweet and clumsy, the childhood friend was a gyaru, there’s of course one that was confused for a guy at first, there’s twins (and one’s a tsundere), and a hot older girl - with the lineup, you’ll definitely have someone to root for. Our hero Junpei is well, the usual self-insert [normal dude] who manages to attract all these girls for some reason, but he’s not a pushover or annoying. He's actually not a bad friend to the girls (and the cats.) The whole dynamic kind of reminds me of Nisekoi if you've read/seen that series.
The art style is quite nice, the fanservice isn’t over the top, and the characters are distinguishable. Overall, if you’re looking for a light, fun, and short manga to read, I’d say Nyan Koi! fits the bill pretty well. The only thing you'd have to worry about is the fact that there's no ending and there probably never will be.

Top 3 fave characters
Kanako Sumiyoshi - I think she’s really cute :< she’s the childhood friend, so I don’t think she’ll get the guy but I’m rooting for her! she’s good with cats too
Nagi Ichinose - this dynamic is always interesting, I can’t imagine someone like this in real life. she’s really intense most of the time (but makes for good comedy), so it’s sweet when her cute side comes out
Nyamsus - we stan cat momma. Nyamsus was saved by Junpei as a kid and we even get to see her backstory! the other cats look up to her - with good reasonOthers: Kotone Kirishima, Ryuu Ichinose
Thank you for reading!
