SynopsisThe manga focuses on the misadventures of the "Campus Support Group" or "Sket-Dan", of Kaimei Gakuen, a club devoted to solving any and all problems brought to it by the staff or student body for the general improvement of campus life. Due to its general lack of meaningful assignments and unglamorous 'group of handymen' reputation the organization is treated with widespread contempt and it is composed of only three members.

This review is by me as of chapter 97, so its actually up to date...
The manga is essentially comedy based; its shounen after all. However, the characters themselves are what truly make the manga.
In the series you'll find several characters each with their own trials and tribulations they are trying to overcome. And in between the AMAZING comedy (I laugh out loud IRL like every chapter) which includes many inside jokes from the series itself, and gets more funny as it goes on, there is a level of drama that is unexpected at all for a series like this.
The way the characters and stories are panned out is really great. And there's a depth to this manga that no one would see coming and really gives it a powerful feel.
But I don't want to dwell on that too much; the main reason to read this IS the comedy and its quite amazing. The inside jokes of the manga just build up and get even more funny as chapters go on.
Also, the art style is greatly unique and the way some old stories and new stories mesh together is woven together masterfully.
The things I liked most were the fact the manga had so many types of humor in it, stuff that natives to Japan would get and stuff that even people living in America like I would get.
I also liked the characters. The main characters of this manga are all amazing and flawed to a perfect extent. And the way the characters play off each other makes it truly a unique, amazing experience when reading, and there is NO other manga I look forward to being released more than sket dance.
As far as things I disliked, I can't really think of any! Its that good!
With that said, I'm hoping to spread the word and get more people reading this :).

( Sorry english isn't my first language (; 3 ;) )
With endless sequel of comedy, sket dance is one of the best gag manga I've ever seen. This manga is a great choice if you want to relax from your busy time or when you want to read together with your friends. This is the manga that can make you laught as hard as you can, bwahaha....
Story 8 :
Sket dance's story tells about an activity of highschool club that accept all the request of the other students. But, the request is not an average request. Every chapter have their own twist and amusement. Some chapter even show the unexpected serious story.
Art 9 :
Art is an important aspect of a manga. Before you read the story, you must see the art first. Well, from my eyesight the art is very good. The artist can draw almost all of type that can make you laught. For example the art when you see Bossun nervous face, bwahaha. Also the art of character face are good looking that I want to draw them with my pen...
Character 9 :
Maybe the main reason why Sket dance can keep the long running series is the development of the characters. The 3 protagonists Bossun, Himeko, and Switch are the core of this laughing machine manga.
Bossun the leader, is the main protagonist that has many talent, very idiot personality althought talented but sometimes can be very cool. Himeko the vice leader, is the only member that can really fight, she has extraordinary power but also has a motherlike attitude expecially to Bossun. She and Bossun have a complicated relationship. And Switch the secretary, is a silent otaku. He can't speak because of his dark past, so he used his laptop voice software to speak. Anything that come from his word, his face never chance.
The other supporting character such as the student council, roman, Chuu-san, dante, shinzou, etc... are very good too, none of them are normal.
Enjoyment 10 :
I only say this manga have an outstanding enjoyment. You can read it and laught anytime you want.
Overall 9 :
Well, it has shogakukan manga award, it has a good story, it has great art, character, and enjoyment. So I give 9 to Sket Dance. Good luck!

The main characters in both series are involved in taking requests and helping others out. Not only do they situate themselves in often comedic events, but also ones in which emotional threads are tugged.
They both have 2 boys and 1 girl in their group and they both do jobs for other people. Gintama is more action, though and they are in different era. They both are comedy!
Author of Sket Dance was assistan of Gintama artis. They have similiar great humor and stories have similiar character setup but they are in totally different world.
Both are comedy Series and are centred on the "missions" of a group of 3 characters
The protagonist trio is very similar, a useless leader, a nerd/otaku character with glasses and a strong and brute girl. Both use the same kind of comedy, full of stupid situations, parodies to other mangas, animes, TV dramas, famous people, etc. They use a lot of auto-critic to their own manga and a deconstruction of the manga structure and typical elements. The artwork is very similar and both have predilection for epic and funny faces.
The author of Sket Dance used to be the assistant of Sorachi Sensei(Gintama author) Thus ,They have similiar great humor,storyline, and similiar characters setup but they are in totally different world. Because there aren't any aliens invading Japan in Sket Dance .
To sum this up, Sket Dance is a high school life about Switch,Himeko,Bossun helping other troubled people with their problem for free. The club name is sket dance. The characters in this manga have a dark past .
Gintama is about Gintoki,Kagura,Shinpachi helping other people with their problems for a payment to pay their rent . But usually they will help people even without a payment . Their organization name is Yorozuya

The Sket Dan take requests from students to help them out, and Medaka, student council president, has vowed to take all suggestions put in the suggestion box seriously, 24/7, 365/year.
To me, these two series have many similarities that I think deserves a recommendation.
There is a school life setting presented with a large cast of characters. The main female protagonist from both series has an outgoing personality who is daring, outgoing, and loves to help others. They also depicts tomboy traits.
The main male protagonist on the other hand has similar personalities as well and considered to get along well with his friends.
There is the theme of a club where a group of friends hang out to do their daily activities. With that, there's the drama, comedy, and occasionally emotions.
