raenyreads 's review for:

Number Call by Nagisa Furuya
3.0
lighthearted slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

I recieved an early copy via netgalley in return for an honest review.

A very cute friends to lovers story revolving around two highschool boys who have a similar nickname.

I liked the characters in this, they were very cute and endearing and I was rooting for both Eito and Hachi. The plot was okay, a little sparce but enough to keep reading and the ending had a satisfying resolution.

However, I think you can tell it was the authors debut as it was well done but just missing something which would make it an engaging read. Especially since I have read their later manga 'The Two Lions' which has a similar concept but done better in my opinion.

Overall still worth the read as it is short and cute. I need to read more of this authors work.
