Shino-chan wa Jibun no Namae ga Ienai review
Lately, I've been looking to oshimi shuuzou's series, so I found this manga and I read it in a few days since it is short so I decided to make a brief opinion on it.
I had an expectative on this manga, since other works from this mangaka show readers characters with some deep problem and hard situations to manage in their lives. So this story, is pretty short, as a result it is hard to develope a complex story on it. But the main concept is not that different, there is a girl, Shino, who has a problem related to get involved with others because she has a problem with speaking accurately. As a result, she developed a shield which separates her from the world, which was provoked by her classmates by bullying her. This situation is seen along all the manga. Then she meets a girl who also has a problem (not as evident as hers) who befriends her, and they decide to combine their skills and reduce their weaknesses to create a music band and participate in the school festival. There is a secondary character who is interested in shino, with minor participation. That's all the story, you can try to find a deeper meaning, but there is no much to look for. It is just clear that both girls have a problem and they try to do something for living. However, I consider as stated before, that this manga is just one volume so tha mangaka has not much to develope, but the story by itself hasn't many chances to be expanded. About the art, there is no much difference from other works, so it's ok, i would have liked to see a beautiful girl such other series from the same author. The characters are basically both girls, and there isn't an attractive feature on them, just this problem of shino, and they are just school girls. I ended reading this with no major satisfaction So if you are interested in oshimi shizou style you may take a look on this series. Otherwise i would advice you to read another story.

Shino-chan wa Jibun no Namae ga Ienai review
TL;DR: Read the first chapter. If you like it keep reading, if you don't then stop there, because it is just more of the same.
On a personal level and a critical level, I did not enjoy shino-chan wa jibun no namae ga Ienai. However, I do understand why some people might. It's different than most people read and sometimes that is enough. Story:4 The story has a syncopated rhythm to it, which could have been effective if the events had any actual impact (besides the ending, which was impactful, but not well written). The story spun its wheels for a while, making it hard to be invested in the plot. Art:6 The art is pretty average for the most parts. The intense drawings at certain sections were off-putting and strange, although it actually helped in this case. Character:2 The characters are irrational and unrelatable. Because they tend to be irrational, nothing is out of character for them. It is possible that they were meant to be irrational because they are young teenagers, but either way it was detrimental to the story. There wasn't a single likable character, and I couldn't relate to them either, so there was no point to them. Enjoyment:4 I accidentally laughed at a few points, and a few spots were adorable, but for the most part it wasn't a good time. After reading it, I wasn't upset at having my time wasted, but I won't feel like re-reading it, and if time went backwards I would have just skipped it. However those are my personal feelings on the story. From a critical point of view it is worth a bit more. Overall:4 In a way, this story reminds me of Hatsukoi Shinjuu. They both deal with odd subjects and deals with them in unique ways. Even though I didn't enjoy either of them on a personal level, I understand why others might find something in them. |
