He now lives alone, making a living by delivering newspapers and drawing doujinshi, though people totally ignore his non-erotic works. One day, a girl named Megumi Saitou suddenly shows up at his door, claiming that she came all the way from Tottori to meet him because she's a big fan of one of his doujinshi. It ends up that she has faced many hardships herself, and with no intention of leaving, she ends up living with him.[Written by Denji]Background_Asper Kanojo_ was published digitally in English as That's My Atypical Girl by Kodansha USA from July 6, 2021 to April 23, 2024. MALxJapan -More than just anime- Characters Reviews  Aug 28, 2023 This is a story of two people who have autism and are trying to just live. This story will make you cry, laugh, and make your heart hurt. If you are neurodivergent and have gone through abuse (... like me) this story will hit close to home. I stayed up till 2 am trying to finish this manga as i was completely hooked emotionally in these characters. Although I will say at times this relationship can be toxic, i do truly think these characters are learning, and growing together. The portrayal of mental illness was done pretty well for the most part, I do think... that the self harm at times was a bit harbored on. overall do highly recommend this story to anyone.

It can often times be hard to depict such flawed characters and make them still relatable in a way that doesn't cause self-deprecation. This book definitely toes the line by no means does anyone want to say they affiliate with Saitou or Yokoi but these people are feel truly real in a way I haven't read in many media. Their interactions are so interesting with all the side characters throughout and the new turmoil's they face. One reading one of these sad works of fiction could possibly feel like its just a trauma dump and you should... feel sad because life sucks. Asper Kanojo isn't that, we see stories told with quite a bit a nuance, and despite having some similar topics spoken on throughout it never felt like a stale read or like a monster of the week equivalency. The struggles Saitou and Yokoi suffer through they all feel like real things and this very loud forefront struggles Saitou deals with we always see what Yokoi deals with in the background. Aside from a very interesting story written well by Mr. Hagimoto. The art is frankly stellar the way they show the pure terror of things is done so well such as several scenes related to Saitou which are harrowing to see for the first time they just manage take her stare freezingly terrifying.Overall I can't recommend this work for everyone as it covers some very heavy subject matter and also it's quite hard to read for Americans for free to the end but I would strongly recommend support the artist at Kodansha where you can read the final 2 volumes which give in my opinion one of the more complete endings I've read 10/10 life changing piece of media (for me) Reviewer’s Rating: 10 What did you think of this review?

I am conflicted whether it was the author's intention for the manga to come off this way, but it just ended up feeling like the main female love interest was there as a damsel in distress being constantly saved by the allistic protagonist. If you struggled with mental illness, this manga can be quite triggering as it contains pretty explicit images of sh and s****de. It also doesn't help that the disabled female... love interest in consistently presented through a male gaze. Reviewer’s Rating: 4 What did you think of this review?
