Domestic na Kanojo

Domestic na Kanojo was one of my first manga that I began reading. The anime was something that really downplayed how good the manga is. The manga starts of in a unique way and develops the characters well in my opinion right from the start. At some points the story wasn't as good as it could be, but the overall story was always interesting. Different things were happening and it covers the life of the main character well. Going into the manga people don't really expect too much, more of an ecchi and less plot filled experience after seeing the anime. That's what I thought when I began reading, however, it really is an interesting story where you can get attached to the characters and I would suggest it to anyone who enjoys romance type manga.

For clarification, I for one am not a fan of mangas/animes that write or talk about incest between siblings. HOWEVER, to whoever is reading this review, I assure you that if you are like me, this manga will blow your mind.

Story: Without spoiling, the story talks about the relationship between the MC, Natsuo, with the people around him, as well as his r/s with his step-sisters that are living with him. Despite how the sypnosis looks, the manga actually covers the growth of our MC as he progresses through his relationship with the many people around him and learns from each and every one of them.

With its superb attention to detail, especially with the background and story of the characters, it is also one of the very few manga that draws you into the world of the manga itself, and although I personally am not in the same situation as the MC, I could truly empathize and see from the perspective of the MC himself.

Art: The art of this manga is also truly amazing. Consistent art style throughout every chapter and volume, along with its beautiful art just pulls you in, enhancing every important scene that takes place.

Characters: Each character of this manga has a different personality and as a reader, you can really see things from their point of view, as well as why they are doing what they are doing. This is especially true in the later chapters that focuses on our main characters, Rui, Hina and Natsuo. It shows the different perspective of each character as well as the problems that they are going through. Through all the problems and issues surrounding them, they each take on different actions that brings forward results, which for better or worse, is understandable considering their situation.

Enjoyment: This is without a doubt one of the best manga I've read. I've never been on such an emotional rollercoaster in awhile, from happiness to anger to sorrow. The author has done an amazing job in portraying how each and every character feels as well as providing evidence/explanation to justify their feelings, allowing every character to be likable and before you know it, you'll be cheering for every one of them.

Overall: If binge-reading 200+ chapter in one sitting doesn't show how amazing this work is, then I'm afraid I don't know what will. On a side-note, if you're a person that can't stand love triangles or love r/s among family members, the first 60 chapters or so might not entice you to read this. But trust me, the manga get REALLY good as it progresses, which is evident if you manage to make it pass the first 100 chapters or so. Otherwise, I suggest you stay away from this masterpiece.

Só olhando os haters aqui.

Domestic x Kanojo, terminou bem, se vocês não sabem pelo menos ler deveria parar de dar seus shows dando 1 e ficarem calados, o autor fez questão de detalhar cada sentimento dos personagens principais na reta final, principalmente o da Rui depois de saber todo o background da Hina.


Spoilers:

Depois que tudo veio a tona como a Rui percebeu que seria errado continuar o casamento por tudo que a Hina fez por eles, principalmente para o Natsuo. Rui e Natsuo conversaram sobre isso com a família e a sós, para mim o plot do carro não foi legal, mas para o contesto da história era a unica saída que o autor viu para mostrar todo o background da Hina para o Natsuo e Rui, com isso Natsuo entendeu a carta que a Hina o deixou, Rui viu que tinha perdido para a irmã e percebido que a mesma não foi verdadeira com seus sentimentos sobre Natsuo na reta final.

Rui gerou e teve a filha do homem que ama.
Natsuo e Hina é o casal correto para finalizar a obra.

Depois de vocês não perceberem o quanto a Rui mudou por causa do amor de Natsuo com o tempo que ficaram juntos, amadureceu e absorveu toda as ações e sentimentos da Hina fez por eles, a nota não seria 1 mas sim 7 a 8, e não atacariam a Mangaká. Vcs do MAL são patéticos.

I loved it and hated it all at the same time.

high school 10/10

college 8/10

all after that 1/10

it was a beatiful dumpster fire that had twist after twist after twist and you never knew exactly where it was going. You were cheering for diffrent girls all the time and never know who would actually in the end marry him. But something must have gone wrong in the writing process in what happend when rui started becoming a cook and moving to new york. All the twists were really weird everyone made some extremly questionable decisions were i was questioning how much their personality had changed and god forbid was the biggest fuck you i have ever seen in my whole life.

As many have stated beforehand this manga was a 9 or 10/10 up to chapter 220 something and then it just spiraled downwards. Nevertheless, I'll still give it at least a 6 since it was exceptionally good for like 80%+ of its run. I have never encountered such an addicting manga before. Once I found it I caught up to the most released chapter (219 at the time) in one sitting. I just read without sleep for 20 or so hours and in the next few months I had reread the entire manga six times. Therefore, I'd recommend new readers to stop around the 220 mark. Yeah it will be an unhappy ending but at least you won't witness the rapid decline in quality. EDIT TO THIS THE ENDING IS SO BAD I GIVE IT A 6/10 OVERALL(the ending last 50 chapters itself is a 2/10). READ UNTIL CHAPTER 220 AND THEN JUST USE YOUR HEAD CANON.

Story: 10 pre chapter 220, 2 post chapter 220
The plot was addicting, the relationships described authentic, and the pacing was great. Post chapter 220 it all spiraled. The arcs weren't that interesting. The best part of the manga: the relationships, went no where and the plot points that occurred were rushed. The only thing went well was the criticism of individuality, which remained a constant.

Art: 9/10
The art in this manga is exceptional the entire way through. The expressions and in particular the eyes that the author can depict are so good they are unrealistic. Kei Sasuga can perfectly depict any emotion she wants through just drawing the faces. There are even the .5 chapters which are a little more spicy and Sasuga could definitely get into doujins if she wished to.

Character: 9
The character development is quite realistic and accurate. In particular Rui, the female lead, goes from a robotic expressionless individual to the character with the most expressions throughout the course of the manga. All the characters are likeable despite their flaws, which they do to an extent overcome. There is a clear criticism of individuality and the choices that the characters make along those lines clearly backfire and lead to no success nor happiness.

Enjoyment 10 pre-chapter 220, 2 post 220 so 6/10 overall.

Overall 6/10

Story was very enjoying and intriguing and kept me in a constant state of curiosity.
Still there were many parts where story stopped making sense like in case of Rui breaking up with Natsuo without any valid reason and all..
The pace was very slow and tiring but the plot and story compensated for that.
Most of all, near the end I had very high hopes of some cool ideas which author will use to get Natsuo out of his completely twisted life but the ending was not at all satisfying.
Overall it was quite a good story and I respect the author a lot to come up with such a great piece

SPOILER ALERT(HOW MANGA ENDS)
For me Domestic na kanojo is a great read. It really show how people face ups and downs in life, what it means to be in a relationship(really shows struggles of relationships), how hard it is to make your dream come true and tough situations that people actually faces in real life. Many people rated this manga between 1-3 and I do relate to them somewhat. I personally feel that author build up the hype so much as to who he will end up with that it lead to frustration among a part of fanbase in the ending. I also feel that ending was a little rushed and author could have added 2-3 more to adjust the fast pacing. If I am to be honest I feel like both Hina and Rui won in the end and this lead to people getting pissed. But I really enjoyed the manga and it kept me wanting to read more. If someone ask me to how good this manga is I would it's spicy and a really great read (However I will warn him to read last few chapters at own risk).

Well this is the first time I have written a review for a manga so it might be bad but tried to express to the best of my ability :)

One of the best mangas you will ever read. The art is great, and im just putting in extra words so that I can actually submit my review lmao ok that wasnt enough apparently.

I thought I would write this review well it is still fresh in my mind I am writing this before hand since all of mal features are not up yet so I cant post the review right now but lets begin the review lets start with the story the story follows a main character named Fujii, Natsuo and he lost his virginity to a girl because she wants to experience sex she hopes to never see him again what will happen next that the story without giving to much away. now lets talk about the characters I think the characters is where this manga falls short a little bit but not by to much I will give the characters a 6/10 because for the most part I like the characters and a lot of the characters in the manga tells you about there back story and I dont really feel that there is any bad characters there might not all be good characters but there at least ok. if you do not like love triangles avoid this manga like the plague because this manga is one huge love triangle. now lets talk about the best thing about this manga and that is the drama it will keep you on the edge of your seat so to speak because I dont think I have read a single chapter that did not leave on a cliffhanger but this can also can be a bad thing because it seemed like at points this manga was just trying to force drama to the point it where it was obvious but I dont feel it is to bad next the art in this manga is solid not great but not bad if you are curious about reading this you can find chapters 1-164 by other means if you know what i am saying and crunchyroll has chapters 165-190 English translated of the day I am writing this because crunchyroll made a deal with the author of this manga but for some reason crunchyroll does not have chapters 1-164 figure that one out this manga is Available on crunchyrolll for FREE so if you want to keep reading this or you can wait until other sites have them in English but good luck all of the other sites are really far behind like 26 plus behind and a lot of stuff happens in those chapters to anyways overall a really good manga the only real negative thing I can say about this is that sometimes the drama is way to much I would definitely check it out.

I said it before and I'll say it again, Sasuga Kei-Sensei is one of the best mangaka ever. This manga, I read over what I think was about three days, was definitely one of the best reads of my life. I had watched the anime a long time ago and thought nothing more of it besides how great it could be if it was continued, until 2 months later I found that there were over 200 chapters of unused manga left to go with the story. Of course this just means I started from the beginning, and read all the way up to the end... and I'm glad I did; The first 80 chapters that did get adopted into an anime had so much more content that simply was left out I was genuinely surprised. Just like Sasuga sensei's last work "Good Ending", there was a gap between chapter 90 to around chapter 115 where it seemed like the story wasn't progressing in the way it should have been, this all fixes quickly though, starting with Rui becoming a chef, Then natsuo going to college, then everything with the drama club Togen-Sensei, Rui in New York City, Tanabe(Hina's Stalker), Hina's 'incident'. When Sasuga Kei dragged out her last work, "Good Ending", there was a point where everything was so pathetic it was like it was written by a completely different author, less emotion, less plot development, the rushed ending, etc... But during her time writing Domestic na Kanojo, I can honestly say that she nailed it in comparison(And I still gave Good Ending at 9/10).

The ending was so odd and unpredictable I didn't know whether I should've been mad at Rui and Natsuo, or happy for Hina; But when it's all said and done the ending was actually really well crafted given the situation from which the Anime/Manga started. Going in to the manga, long after watching the anime I was totally 100% #TeamRui but as the story went on I changed my opinion about this, even if only slightly. By around the 160ish chapter I had decided that both girls had their strong points and weak points and that neither of them was completely better than the other. I never really liked the situations that Natsuo had with Hina, all though I like Hina as a character. Where as with Rui, I like their time together and find it really fun and refreshing to read.

With manga, all though the story is better and there is more content, I could never really pull the same feelings out of a work, the way I can with anime, but this story was different, after I had gotten past my initial feelings of frustration and critique I realized that it all ties together well and makes the story great. Rui's philosophy of fate was extra interesting to see at the end of the manga, seeing as she was the most overprotective of Natsuo throughout their relationship; All though I can't say I'm a huge fan of seeing Natsuo and Hina in bed together again, I probably could've realized from the start that that was the way it was going to end up.

I cried to a manga for the first time ever in chapter 256, when after all that had happened, Natsuo could write again in the stead of Togen-Sensei after his death. Happy tears of course. | Despite EVERYTHING you just read above, I will always think that Rui x Natsuo is the best ship of the main characters, and will never be tarnished. --- *Everything I said above are just personal thoughts of course, and anyone who's read this far has either read it before, or is interested. If this is the case then my only advice as for how to enjoy it as best possible is to be open minded; Even to the things that some people would call NTR(netorare), and also to the many moments worthy of being called hentai, if you allow your personal opinions to be tested while reading this, I promise you will enjoy this story.

-I rated 'Enjoyment' a 9 instead of a 10 for three reasons; 1) Even though they had a kid, I still wanted to see Rui x Natsuo in the end, not Hina x Natsuo. 2) At certain points I felt frustrated by things that developed in the story one of the main points being the character's ignorance. "I like him but I can't confess," "I have to take her feeling into account," etc... This caused lots of misunderstandings, dragged on plot, and unwanted "Screen time". 3) I honestly think everything from the art, to the story, to the characters are worthy of a 10/10 rating same for the Overall, but it wasn't a perfect story, because it wasn't a perfect story I had to debunk something even if only a little.
