Meeting Hirotaka and Narumi
In a fortunate day of Feb 26, 2018, I crossed paths with these two Otakus — Hirotaka Nifuji and Narumi Momose — at Lit Manga and Anime page. I immediately fell in love with them!So before I become carried away again, let me tell you more about the manga itself, first.

Where to Read Wotakoi?
Back to Anime and Manga
I've been in hiatus with anime (don't blame the Kdramas), and even though it's a rare occasion for me to be captured by a manga series, I guess it all happens because it's meant to be. ♥
I'm looking forward for the anime series of Wotakoi and I hope that the Hubbyte Toy Store I contacted can hunt me copies of the English-translated manga volumes. ♥
