What is Gals Can’t Be Kind to Otaku!? About?
Norishiro-chan and Uozumi launched the Gals Can’t Be Kind to Otaku!? manga series in Coamix’s Monthly Comic Zenon magazine in August 2021. Norishiro-chan writes the manga with art by Uozumi, and Coamix is releasing the manga series in Japan.
Yen Press licenses the manga in English and describes the series:
Meet Takuya Seo, an otaku who sits behind the popular gals in class, Ijichi and Amane. Since they’re people from different “castes,” you wouldn’t expect them to have much in common. But when their worlds collide over a borrowed eraser, Takuya slips up about his favorite anime, and Amane…is rather quick to correct him. She says she’s not a fan, but her familiarity with the series suggests otherwise. Could she be…a fellow geek?!
