I think the hype for Link Click comes from the donghua being quite popular and good. I'm currently watching it but had to take a break after a super emotional episode left me in shambles lol. But it is good so if you find the idea of Link Click at all interesting, I'd suggested trying watching it instead. I'm sad to see the manhua looks like that but at least now I know not to bother with it.

Yeah it feels like there's something missing with Tamon's B-Side. I just can't picture a romance happening on the girl's side. Maybe it's not meant to be a romance? I'm giving it until volume 5, that seems like a good number. Link Click aka Don't Judge a Book By It's Cover. Not saying it's bad, but maybe not everyone will think it's as good as it's cover looks. Tsubaki Chou's one of the next shojo's on my to try list after I try Daytime Shooting Star. I'm also looking to get more of In Clear Moonlit Dusk but Scifier doesn't have the next volumes I need (4-5). I always love seeing Tokyo Revengers in people's hauls, hehe :p
