Manga lovers, there is some fresh news for you all today. The talented creator Tribri has just kicked off a brand new series titled He Who Disturbs My Devotion. This latest work has officially made its debut in the April issue of Monthly ComicREX, which is published by Ichijinsha. The magazine was released today, on February 26th, and it is already creating a bit of a buzz among fans of the romantic comedy genre. If you are looking for something that mixes childhood nostalgia with some rather complicated romantic feelings, then He Who Disturbs My Devotion might just be your next big read.
A Unique Take on School Life and One-Sided Love
The story focuses on a young boy named Wakaba Koyamauchi. Now, Wakaba is just a 5th grade elementary school student, but his heart is set on someone quite a bit older. He is deeply in love with his homeroom teacher, who is a grown-up woman. Because of this massive crush, Wakaba is constantly trying his level best to act like a mature adult man. He wants to prove that he is worthy of her attention, so he spends his days behaving as seriously as possible, which is honestly quite cute and funny considering he is still just a kid.
However, life in the classroom isn't just about his teacher. Wakaba has a childhood friend named Kai Wakunouchi. For a long time, Kai has been a bit of a nuisance to him, always bothering him about one thing or another. When Wakaba eventually opens up to Kai about his feelings for the teacher, things take a very interesting turn. Instead of being supportive in the way one might expect, Kai starts making fun of him. But there is a huge twist here that Wakaba hasn't realised yet.
The "Double Unrequited Love" Dynamic
While Wakaba is busy chasing after his teacher, Kai Wakunouchi actually has very strong feelings for Wakaba himself. This creates a hilarious and messy "double unrequited love" situation. To get Wakaba’s attention and steer him away from the teacher, Kai resorts to some pretty bold tactics. She tries to use "sexy seduction" to attract him, which leads to a lot of awkward and comedic moments for our young protagonist.
Key Highlights of the Series:
- Protagonist's Struggle: Watching Wakaba Koyamauchi try to act like a sophisticated man while being a 5th grader is a major highlight.
- Childhood Friend Rivalry: The tension between Wakaba and Kai Wakunouchi adds a lot of layers to the plot.
- Genre Mix: It perfectly blends the innocent feelings of a first crush with the chaotic energy of a rom-com.
- Unique Premise: The idea of a boy fighting against the "temptations" of his childhood friend while being focused on his teacher is definitely fresh.
It is going to be very interesting to see how this story develops in the coming months. Many readers are already asking why He Who Disturbs My Devotion is your next obsession, and the answer lies in its charming characters and the funny, relatable ways they handle their confusing emotions. Tribri seems to have a real knack for drawing readers into these lighthearted yet engaging stories. If you happen to pick up the April issue of Monthly ComicREX, do give this new series a look. It is a wild ride of childhood friendship and schoolboy dreams!
