If you’ve been craving a school-life BL that hits you with comedy, crush-energy, and just enough hilarity to keep you grinning, My Classmate Ren-kun is Kinda Scary is exactly the kind of book you toss in your bag and read in one sitting. This series has the charm of two boys who have been orbiting each other for years but still haven’t figured out they’re basically dating already.
And watching them get there? That’s the good stuff.
My Classmate Ren-kun is Kinda Scary Review
Ren Might Look Scary, But the Boy Is Soft in All the Right Ways
Ren lives in that perfect BL territory: he looks like he’s about to fight the whole school, but he melts the moment Tadaomi appears. Angry face, loud energy, dramatic reactions, the works. But when Tadaomi walks into a scene, Ren folds like laundry fresh from the dryer.
The manga nails this contrast beautifully. You get panels where Ren looks like he might bite someone’s head off, followed by moments where he practically sparkles while trying (and failing) to hide his crush. He’s the classic tough guy who is only gentle for one person, and the way that plays out is addictive.
Meanwhile, Tadaomi Has No Idea He’s Accidentally Ren’s Entire World
Tadaomi is the serious one, the grounded one, the boy who always seems a step behind emotionally but somehow steals every scene with that calm, collected charm. He doesn’t realize half the things he does send Ren into a tailspin.
There’s a moment where he leans in close, touches Ren’s face, and asks, “Is this okay?” That’s when you see Ren go red in a way that would send any BL reader straight to heaven. These quiet, direct moments hit just as hard as the comedic ones, and together they build this sweet, steady tension that carries the whole book.
Everyone Knows They’re Into Each Other… Except Them
The supporting cast is half the fun. Their classmates watch Ren and Tadaomi interact like it’s a live drama airing every lunch period. They react, they whisper, they stare in disbelief when the boys fail to notice the tension between them.
Scenes shift from silly misunderstanding to soft intimacy with ease. A note reading “I like you” blows up into a crisis. A light injury becomes a reason to fuss and hover. And every time it happens, you want to shake these boys and yell, “You are in love.”
It’s the kind of comedy where the heart sneaks up on you.
The Art of My Classmate Ren-kun is Kinda Scary Brings Out Every Crush, Blush, and Over-the-Top Reaction
From the softer romantic beats to Ren’s explosive expressions, the art carries the emotional tone of every scene. There’s a playful looseness in the comedic panels and a more delicate touch in the intimate ones. It gives the whole story a rhythm that keeps you flipping pages without noticing time passing.
The way Ren lights up when Tadaomi gives him attention? That’s frame-worthy.
Final Thoughts on My Classmate Ren-kun is Kinda Scary
My Classmate Ren-kun is Kinda Scary is a sweet, bright BL comedy that knows exactly what it’s doing. It leans into the timeless “everyone knows except them” dynamic with heart and humor. Ren and Tadaomi feel real, their chemistry clicks from the first chapter, and the story never forgets to be fun on the way to being romantic.
If you want something light, cute, and perfect for unwinding after a long day, this one earns a spot on your shelf.
