The manga, written by Makoto Kudo, captures the awkward yet heartwarming interactions between the protagonist Kannawa-senpai and her new Kouhai, Kamegawa. It’s a dramatic tale of love, which unravels as Kannawa-senpai struggles to navigate her newfound feelings. The story first went live on Kudo’s X/Twitter account and began serialization in Square Enix’s Young Gangan magazine in December 2019.
“Kannawa-senpai is considered many things, but smooth is definitely not one of them. Then she meets Kamegawa, her new Kouhai. He’s cute, a little nerdy, and easy to talk to. How will this awkward Senpai be able to handle these new feelings?!”
The twenty-third instalment of “My Awkward Senpai” came out several months ago, March 25th to be exact. Fans of this romantic comedy can get excited for the tenth volume, scheduled to release September 25.
