Osananajimi ga Zettai ni Makenai Love Comedy review

First off: this is a rom-com manga. If you are looking for characters that are perfect to a T, unable to make mistakes, and situations that are realistic, you're probably not reading the right genre. The point of comedy is to make you have a lighthearted laugh at some funny situations in a world that's not your own. There's no point in getting mad at characters or trying to make sense out of situations that would never happen in real life, because laughable situations are the sole purpose of this genre.

That being said, there are still going to be those who take every situation and character's actions seriously, and not realize that most things that happen in comedy are not plot-driven or meaningful, but rather a bunch of moments that let the viewer feel emotions, hopefully with a smile. Of course, these people's opinions are totally valid, as the enjoyment of manga is based on subjectivity, and if they like to analyze everything that happens and more, then they're free to dislike.

But if you're okay with a fun rom com with an obvious twist (it's the title), and a lot of moments where you can laugh at the hilarity of situations, then this should be a good manga for you. People are not perfect all the time, and more often than not people make mistakes. Of course in the universe of fiction, a lot of these mistakes and situations are more unrealistically exaggerated, as they should be, lest it be as boring as real life.

Here's my breakdown of the elements:

Art - 8

The art looks good. I mean I'm no artist so if it looks good and pretty, then that's great.

Characters - 9

Ok, this one is probably much more subjective. As you can tell from what I wrote above, there's no point getting mad at characters for not being perfect all the time (especially when this is literally high school), and it's a rom-com. If no one made a mistake at some point, it would be 1 chapter long. With this in mind, I really like the characters. They all have distinct personalities, and you'll probably find someone to root for. I've heard people say that because a personality is nothing "new", they shouldn't be given a high score. To which I say: do you only pick friends that have a personality that's "new"? No, you just hang out with whoever's the most fun to hang out with. Imagine flaking a friend cause their personality is "overused". This is why I will just rate them on their personality, and not their personalities in entertainment's "meta" or not.

Story - 7

Still strong, but the main twist is already given in the very obvious title. Other than that, there are still some things that will make you surprised. The reason why this is getting a little lower score is just the fact that there isn't really a totally big plot compared to AoT and the like. (although you could totally call me out for comparing apples to oranges at this point)

Enjoyment - 10

I just enjoyed reading it, and so it gets a 10 for enjoyment.

Overall - 9

I liked it! That's about it. If you don't, then that's fine too - we just have different tastes I guess.
