Reception

[edit]

Erica Friedman of Yuricon gave the omnibus an overall 9 out of 10 rating, remarking that “the strength of this particular series is the sincerity. Both Shiki and Hina are so gosh darn sincere and adorable that you really want them to be happy together.” She went on to praise Yuama's art and the progress it took over the series.^[7]

Anime News Network was less favourable, giving the omnibus an overall B− rating; noting that "while The Girl I Want Is So Handsome! definitely avoids a lot of the problematic tropes that have infested many other Yuri and shoujo romances, what we're left with is so barebones that it doesn't feel nearly as appetizing as I think it wants to be."^[8]
