My Plain-looking Fiance is Secretly Sweet with Me

Yes, all of the romcoms. Especially the ones that start out with romance? No haremerino? Just plain, wholesome lovin'?

@rawon Man, and you mentioning "No harems, just romcom" immediately makes me think of My Love Story. Is there a manga or something of that one? Asking for
a friendmyself. -
@thegrimlich I genuinely don't know, but would like to! What's "My Love Story" anyway?
(Idly, the title of this series should probably be "fiancée," since it's referring to the girl and girls get an extra "e" for...reasons.)

@rawon My Love Story is this:
It's the story of Gouda Takeo, a 1st-year High School student who's so big everyone thinks he's in college, and his girlfriend... who he met in a fashion similar to how Momo met Hime in "Are You OK With A Slightly Older Girlfriend". Like, the only difference is that instead of implying the guy was groping a man, Gouda grabbed the guy's hand and wound up getting suspended for punching the guy after he said the girl deserved it... while in the presence of a police officer. It's the story of their relationship, and I first learned of it through the anime.
So now I've got three series I've got to purchase through Viz I guess, since Wikipedia says Viz has the manga license.

People seem to really like this one (I know I heard middling things early about volume 1, but maybe it gets better as you go cause reception seems pretty good rating wise from English folks able to read it). I'd be down to try it.

An another classic 'plain' heroine that even when she's supposed to look plain still looks top tier.
I guess this is our version of Hollywood homely trope lol.
Still, I do like me.some fluffy romance so id go for this

The third volume is set to release on September 18th, 2021.
-
@shipteaser Maybe it's "plain" as in a more staid personality, rather then her actually being of average appearance?
Because yeah, just sticking glasses on a pretty girl doesn't make her not pretty.

This sounds super cute. Though I just wish it was a natural relationship rather than the cliché arranged marriage from your parents.
