Boku to Roboko

Just a quick review.

It's a pure gag manga and doesn't do things like ecchi, one-punch man esque fighting, romance, moe or other things like that. Just focusing on jokes and parodies with pretty unique characters. Honestly as I browse manga, I find this type really is a rarity so I'd highly recommend it. The fact that it's so lowly rated is just disgraceful and misleading.

It also doesn't have some plotline that they are forced to go through with so I don't see them pigeonholing themselves in future chapters. So far every chapter has been enjoyable by itself and I really hope it can keep running for a lot more chapters.

Roboco is a series that surprised me. At first glance, the art style of the main characters (especially Roboco) threw me off and made a lot of people (including myself) not want to read it. But after giving in and giving this series a shot I have to say, it ended up being really funny.

Roboco is the star of the show with her wacky antics and funny dialogue. I was also surprised by the two bully characters. At first, they seem like your generic school bullies, but they end up being the nicest characters in the story which is pretty hilarious. Some of my favorite chapters so far are the Promised Neverland parody and especially the two chapters that make fun of Shonen Jump.

Overall, I didn't think much of this series at first glance but I ended up enjoying it a lot. And the series seems to be selling well in Japan for a gag manga. Overall this message of the manga is to not judge a book by its cover, both in-universe and out.
