Wow... heheh... I can't believe I'm writing a review for this manga lol. Don't get me wrong it's not bad it's loads of fun (as you can tell by my rating) but obviously if I gave it an 8 overall something's wrong right?

Well let me just say that this manga is FREAKIN' HILARIOUS. All the characters are so quirky and over-the-top and the way they interact makes me laugh so hard. Nagatoro and Senpai (who's name I still don't know by the way) are absolutely hysterical. They have top-notch chemistry and their interactions never cease to impress me (that may seem like a weird way to describe it but I can't think of any other way to). The side characters are amazing as well. The tan girl's chill and laid back attitude is subtly amusing and kind of relaxing for such a hectic environment. The blond girl's sheer stupidity and inability to do anything but copy what everyone else says and gush over squid plushies is simultaneously adorable and eye-rolling (in a good way). Paisen girl's method of bullying Senpai to get on Nagatoro's nerves more than anything else is honestly genius and makes for some very awkward and tense moments that create a very different type of humor that really hits home.

You can tell I obviously really like the characters for a reason. But what really makes this manga is the way they interact. It's just an explosion of awkwardness, extremeness (I don't think that's a word), and bizarreness. Their wacky antics and ridiculous plans could rival those of the characters from Konosuba! I hear people say that they feel that the characters are flat and there isn't really development. I'm sorry but I don't know how anyone could get to that conclusion. The way Nagatoro and Senpai go from "bully and victim" to "annoying younger friend and upper classmate who puts up with her just because" is really well executed. The Senpai in chapter 61 (which is where I am at at the time of writing this review) is completely different from the one who broke down in tears in chapters one and two. I also love that the characters develop steadily. And it feels so effortless! It's almost like you're reading about a real-life human being mature in his final years of high school, which is a lot more than I can say for most comedy mangas.

It also gets to the point where Nagatoro no longer feels like she's bullying Senpai out of cruelty. She goes from being a maniacal little freshman to being an annoying yet cute high schooler. The transition feels, once again, effortless and it increases the bond between the two main characters and allows the reader to empathize more with their relationship.

The art style works really well too. They can make Nagatoro look absolutely beautiful when they want to. And when they want to make her seem annoying... well... they do. I laughed so hard from that one attack on titan panel. That was honestly just amazing.

If we're talking about how much I like the manga it's a 10 no questions asked. It just doesn't feel "amazing" enough to get that 10. It's also not quite impactful enough to merit a 9 but it is definitely the best manga/anime that I've given an 8. It is simultaneously hilarious, cute, awkward, and strange. This manga will probably see itself with a higher ranking in the future, but we'll get there when we get there. Overall it is a great manga if you want something not so serious and I definitely recommend it for anyone who doesn't mind a bit of fan service (if you know what I mean). Go read it, chances are you will thoroughly enjoy it!
