Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui!, (Shortened to Watashi ga Motenai for the sake of reviewing), is a manga about an antisocial girl named Tomoko Kuroki whose only desire is to cut loose of her shut in ways and become popular so she can get a boyfriend,but that's easier said than done... Especially when you're too socially awkward to talk to a boy, let alone an actual human being.

Now on the surface this manga doesn't look remotely entertaining but it slowly,but surely, sucks you into it and days later you'll find yourself thinking "Gee, I wonder how she's going to embarrass ... herself in the next chapter."

The real treat for the people reading this manga is for anyone who has also gone through anything Tomoko has.... From embarrassing herself in public, to being socially awkward around just about anyone and anything, she truly is the definition of a loser. And it's sad because you just can't help from laughing at all the mistakes she makes while trying to socialize with people.

Overall, I'd highly recommend this manga to anyone who has had antisocial moments at any point in their life,(me), because you will find the situations she's in really similar to situations that you yourself have experienced.

The first 12 volumes were great and I would say its one of my favorite mangas.
A very funny and a worthwhile read.
The main character and the first characters that got introduced and appeared often were very good and played off each other. While intresting and funny situations that happened made it a very enjoyable and funny read.
I could relate to the main character and I found my self laughing at a lot of the jokes and enjoyed nearly every page.
In later volumes some new characters had gotten introduced and even tho I didn't like most of the new characters it didn't matter too much since ... I still found the volumes funny and enjoyable even if not as much as I used to.

Then i read vol 13.
The tone had changed and the focus had shifted completely.
Instead of following Tomokos daily life filled with interesting events and good jokes this volume and future ones started following Tomoko and all her new friends daily life with nothing really interesting happening and no jokes.

It just became so boring. There are barely any jokes anymore and the pages were just filled with either endless conversations that were not enjoyable to read or just mindless fanservice.
The new characters got more focus and turned out to be very bad characters.

First i need to talk about Kotomi. She was a very good character and one of my favorite until she just became a shell of her former self and now she only appears to remind us she likes baseball and wants to fuck Tomoki.
And then we have the new characters.
Yuri is emotionless and dead inside. Her whole character is that she likes and find Tomoko funny.
Ucchi was okay as a one off character in the field trip arc but for some reason she became a recurring character that only serves the purpose of repeating the same joke over and over again.
Asuka is a very feminine motherly type that likes to enable tomokos deviant behavior for some reason and is pretty big snore fest
Yoshida i was hopeful for at first but it seems that the writer doesn't want to do anything interesting with her.

In the end the shift in focus and the introduction of too many boring or useless characters was the thing that made me sadly give this a low score
If i only read the first 12 volumes i would give watamote a 8/10 but after reading up to volume 17 i have to give it a 6/10

its 2021, i have just watched the anime and decided its time for the manga. Picking up where i left off maybe chapter 30 or some. And for some time it was really enojayble. Enojoyable to a point i really liked this manga, however as you continue, it just gets worse and worse and bad.

Let me remind you, this manga has 190 chapters last updated today. And i do not think it is going to stop soon.

And another reminder, this manga has been going for 10 YEARS.

Let me give you a quick rundown of what happens.

First we meet tomoki, the mc. She os ... a loner, and only has one friend. Until now we experience life in her point fo view. She does emberrasing stuff n all that shit. Up til 20 or some we meet her new friend glasses girl, she fine n all.

In chapter 60 or some the big climax happens and she goes on bus party n gets 4 new friends, yakuza girl, another loner but cuter, popular girl and a last one i fucking do not remeber. Its all fun she gets friends yada yada.

We continue on to chapter you know what fuck this.

ITS NOTHING, NOTHING EVER FUCKING HAPPENS AFTER THAT. WHY DID I READ THIS HOT GARBAGE.

Now i get that this may seem like a good fun comedy but, i legit needed to quit reading it at like chapter 132 cus it just got fucking boring. I hoped something major would happen to this but, nothing. nothing happens.

Get this she is in the same school for fucking 10 years, without the authors doing nothing, just trying to milk it until its fucking dead.

Do not read this manga, it is not worth it.

Its the kind of humor where anything the supporting c do is funny, hahah guys she painted her hair XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Nah fr fuckk this manga, These authors are something else man i am fucking telling you. Making the same manga for 10 years, 10 years. And Doing nothing but, spending the whole place in the same school.

But, but the art is good and the charachters!!!

No they are not, if you really look at the characters they are not even drawn finished, they look like fucking sketches. And do not make me start with these boring ahh characters.

We have girl that is like a mom
We have girl that is a emoji
We have girl that that is annoying
we have girl that wondes why mc painted her pubes silver
we have girl that say gross
we have girl that has no face

so on and on

And i even have forgotten all their names. Tomoko and ucchi are the only i remeber.

I reccomend you not reading this actual garbage peice.

However if you really want a manga like this. You could try reading LITTERRLY ANY SCHOOL/COMEDY MANGA.

Oh and spouler alert, she gets popular and eventually i think some will change but i doubt it. Just a reminder, 10 years.
