Not very realistic, but hey it's shoujo. Now that she's pretty every hot boy in school comes out of the woodwork to try and get in her pants; except for one, who is my favorite, and was her friend from the start. Ensue reverse harem with BL

Let's start with the cons since it's more fun that way! This story begins with its fair share of fatphobia. Serinuma is an overweight girl who ends up rapidly losing weight, sparking a bunch of guys to suddenly become interested in her. She gains and loses weight on a crazy scale, and this comes up a few times, the first of which has the others forcing her on a diet so she'll become "cute" again. Some of the love interests grow past this (or were never concerned with her weight in the first place) while others don't. So! It's worth noting that if this would

Kiss Him, Not Me

Due to this dramatic change of appearance, this results in her becoming an extremely beautiful girl.

Forgotten First Meeting: Kae with Nishina, who first met each other before Kae's weight loss at Nishina's debut as a doujin artist at Comiket. Author Appeal: Kae is an avid Yaoi Fangirl.

Let me start this review with the problematics: As a fat person, I often search for things with my representation. Unironically, it's hard to find a piece of media that focuses on an overweight female, but occasionally I come across stuff like Kiss Him, Not Me. At first, I was very excited to begin reading, this seemed right up my alley! But... Irony: Kae loves BL more than she loves life itself, being a fujoshi. It's quite funny and somewhat upsetting to see that the one thing she loves the most actually brought over in real life— that is, a classic BL setup with a friend in love with his other friend is in the one place where she doesn't want it happening— that is, in between her relationship with Mutsumi. Even more so that she previously shipped all the boys around with each other.

Game-Breaking Injury: Subverted. Nanashima fell through the stairs before an important soccer match in middle school, but he quit because he felt frustrated for the automatic loss rather than being unable to play. Kae's classmate from 2-A and a suitor. He makes his intentions clearer than any of the others. During the School Festival arc, he declares that he doesn't want to be "friendly" with the other boys anymore, and grabs her hand while they watch Hayato Shinomiya's play. He may also be the only one that has begun to love Serinuma the most deeply, as he was able to look past her regression into her larger physique during the Valentine's Day arc. Almost everyone else wanted to change her but he realized he loved her for who she is not what she looks like. Which is like true love right there. He is the only one who asked for her consent before (almost) kissing her. She kissed him when saving him from the pond on the Birthday arc. However, after the death of her favorite anime character and Kae shuts herself away in her room for days and refused to come out, this results her losing a dramatic amount of weight and gains an eye-catching figure, followed by notably large breasts, which seemed to have come from when she was chubby.

Wham Episode: In-Universe; the Mirage Saga episode where Kae's favorite anime character Shion died is this for her. It and Kae's reaction to it are what sparks the main plot.

He used to have a crush on her. Bland-Name Product: Kae often makes trips to Anime Ito, a phonetic romanization of the name of the store Animate. Also, the love interests often hang out at "Donny's." I think the enjoyment is based on the reader to be honest so I don't have much to say. It passed time for me and that's good enough.Shinomiya and Nanashima get a lot of BL teasing across the series, but the biggest tease goes to the epilogue, where they arrive at Kae's wedding holding hands and live together. Even Nishina and A-chan think there's something going on between the two, though they're wearing their BL goggles.
