Hi there! My name is Serinuma Kae.
I’m the kind of girl who loves checking out boys and fantasizing about them getting friendly (and more) with each other—I’m what you might call a fujoshi.
One day, my beloved (yes, he’s an anime character) died, and the shock of it all was more than I could have ever prepared for! My grief over his passing resulted in some ridiculous weight-loss!
And you won’t believe what happened next! Soon after my change, the four most divinely gorgeous boys in my school asked me out on dates! I accepted them all, and you’d think I’d be happy with my sudden popularity, but the truth is, my heart only yearns for a prince to be next to his prince. Ahh, yes, boys, I’d much prefer that you turn your affections elsewhere and KISS HIM, NOT ME!
Now an anime from the studio that made PRINCESS JELLYFISH and MY LITTLE MONSTER!

For some reason I was too embarrassed to actually check out this series from the library but NOT too embarrassed to review it on Goodreads.
Sweat and Soap has ruined me for other mangas.
This is a 3.5. I don't like the disrespect shown to Serinuma Kae, the sweet, smart, kind otaku who loves fantasy. It's just not necessary to be so mean to her. She, I like. The boys... irritating except for like one who has always been kind to her, before and after weight loss.
I don't think I'd want my niece reading this without a discussion about body image issues and fatphobia. Some potential, but the poor handling of the main character's looks and size and transformation make me unable to give it a higher score.
