First one.

Gloomy introvert x hyper extrovert

A classic staple and and super cute story.

Cute! Sad it's a one shot haha

Extroverted young women are scary.

They can even get an insecure introvert to start unlearning maladaptive hypervigilant behavioral patterns they have relied on to survive in a society that cares very little for them.

What a cute oneshot omg <3

The horror!

Another cute story by Ume Umehara

... could be fluffier!

it's joke!

Ume Umehara truly never misses

Oh my god I want a positive extroverted gf to my negative introverted self

I want more of them so badly

I want a sequel that come with them kissing.

I want a sequel that come with them kissing.

Came here to say this.

And then the positive girl and negative girl engaged in a major energy-releasing annihilation.

Jokes notwithstanding, another charming light read from Umehara. Just the right amount of self-loathing to inject drama without becoming angsty

We are the extroverts. You will be adopted. Resistance is futile.

This might just be me saying this, but lately, some one-shots don’t really feel like one-shots anymore. They feel more like the first chapter of a longer story, like there’s still so much more that could be explored. Like, for example,
Hand Holding, Kissing, and Sleepovers could have multiple chapters instead of just being one-shots.

Oh well, this was really fluffy and cute. Nice read! :)

It is my personal belief that most one-shots are actually serialization pitches that never go anywhere. I imagine most mangaka would greatly prefer to be serialized, but the magazines pick and choose, leaving a lot of series-worthy ideas behind as one-shots...

happy future :)

If the gloomy introvert had depression on top of that, she would have genuinely believed her existence to be a pointless waste-of-space that only causes pain and suffering to the people around her, and she would not be able to communicate effectively with Positive-chan, and she would actively sabotage her own route to a happy fulfilling life, as her own negative sense of self-worth causes her to bring tangible sadness and hurt to Positive-chan because she can't bring herself to believe in the Positive-chan who believes in her.

I'm happy that at least this story gets a happy ending :)
