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.

Too sweet that I got diabetes~

Honestly I must say that it didn't even took a second for me to fell in love with ''It Takes More Than A Pretty Face To Fall In Love!''

Kaodakeja Sukini Narimasen: is my second favourite shoujo manga from Top 10!!

Even in just a few chapters, it probably stirred something in me and bubbled up the zeal of obsession of shoujo mangas that i didn't realized even exist (LOL). Not just the pretty faces of this manga that i found myself falling in love with but as well as with the story of it. The art-style is adorably eye-catching. Even i didn't understand how can a simple and sweet story like this would be this good!?

The mangaka really put panelty amount of sugar in each chapter that I got disabilities (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

~~~____Let's see how I fell in love with this manga~____<center>

____Chiken Sana____ (not the chicken that you eat, LOL) is a bonehead and a simple girl but surely sweet. Sana is nuts about pretty faces (the girl is just like me) but we can't blame her obsession over that, like who can resist the allure of a charmer? Literally no one! 
She decides to go to the Minowa Sougou High School only cause of her eye-candy: ____Ugo Kanato____. As she finally saw kanato senpai in a person, kanato outta the blue demands her to become the admin of the instagram's school account to reach the certain amount of followers on it otherwise the school principal is gonna expel him (how cruel of him to expel such a man. The principal is just a greedy jerk that is taking an advantage of kanato's beauty to just popular his school that's for sure). 
Of course he can't run the account but can be the model for it to reach their goal (I admit that sana is a great photographer). Now the question is ''why can't he just run the account himself?'' Well, we cannot blame our kanato senpai when he is such a noob, LOL. He is seriously inexperienced about technology stuff and i found it utterly cute. Neither he know how to chat nor he can use the camera so how can someone expect him to run the account all by himself? Therefore that's the reason he asked sana to run the account for his sake. And how can sana just say ''no'' to her ideal man's request? How can she does let this chance slip outta her hand to get to know him better and get close to him? The story unexpectedly becomes a thrilling ride with a great excitement!!

After some progress in the story sana came to know that kanato-senpai is such a flirtatious tease. It's like he really just wished for her to get head over heels for him.
There are tons of people who fell for kanato just cause of his face but there is really something about sana that makes him feel at ease and he can be just himself and let his guards down around her. Sana was not like other girls who is only after his pretty face cause as sana came to know kanato, she realized he is more than just a pretty face and of course she fell even harder for him as the reason of his other enchanting sides!
She is really cute!! I literally cracked up at the second panel but they also melt my heart at the same time with their wholesomeness. The story progression was seriously adorable and hilarious in each chapter that i cannot help myself from reading it and fell in love with this manga over and over again. The story is quite heartwarming, delight, sweet, cute and amusing in each way and characters with their pretty faces that's quite appealing.

Here comes the lady-killer, Ugo Kanato. I can't blame sana even a bit when she fell for such an angelic face! He is quite enchanting and irresistible that she is not at fault at all. His sleepy eyes are sure some sort of drugs that's quite seductive! I must say that he is seriously not just a pretty face but more than that. Kanato senpai fed up to always hear ''You're nothing more than a pretty face'' many times that he did even overlook his other polished qualities that are within him. It's a spoiler to see his beauty already before reading manga so sorry for it. I do not wanna reveal the sweetest parts of this manga just right in the review so trying my best to just make it less spoiling and not to kill the joy that this manga brought up to me. To wrap up this review in a quick, lemme introduce you to one of the other goat of this manga, that's perfect character to be called the another favourite one~

Wondering about his eyes? Well, it would be the biggest spoiler if you see it just yet before reading the manga. ____Doigaki-kun____ is the second well-written character of this manga that comes after kanato senpai. The mangaka took considerable time to write his characters well, therefore we got such lovely characters. There need to be someone to put onto the weighing scale with kanato senpai to balanced up the manga and for that the appropriate character is definitely doigaki! However there's more than that to why is he a second male character that's not bad at all but too good! Be thankful that I'm not gonna spoil everything here. 

____I'm so happy to be able to gave it a shot to this manga and call it my favourite!!____

____~ᰔTHANKS A LOT FOR READING MY REVIEW!!!____
