Inexpressive Kashiwada and Expressive Oota is a heartwarming romantic comedy about Kashiwada, a junior high school girl whose facial expressions remain unchanged no matter the situation, and Oota, her male classmate whose emotions are always written on his face. The series is currently published by KADOKAWA’s Dragon Comics Age, with 10 volumes available, and also has an English-language serialization.
MangaPlaza publishes an official English version of original manga and describes the story as follows:
Kashiwada-san is a girl who doesn’t show emotions on her face no matter what happens.
Oota-kun is a boy who shows emotions on his face too much.
They are classmates in a junior high school, and Oota-kun is always trying to surprise Kashiwada-san with his actions. But he never succeeds…
They look like opposite characters, but it seems like they like each other!?
