I'm writing this review because +Tic Neesan seems criminally under-read to me. If you are a fan of the Konosuba/It's Always Sunny sort of model of humor (aka humor derived from reprehensible and weird characters with little to no sentimentality) then +Tic Neesan is for you. It does start off a little slow (I'm wondering if more than a few people dropped it after the first few chapters like I almost did) but once it finds its groove, +Tic Neesan can be absolutely hysterical.
While the mange is ostensibly about a model club, there is very little about building models in it. Instead, it focuses on

Blend S is a very cute 4-koma manga with some pretty clever ideas. The series revolves around Maika, a very nice girl with a very nasty glare. Most of the comedy arises from her acting sadistic (either on purpose or on accident) while her true personality is very shy and polite. The author does a good job coming up with fresh ways for that interplay to work, so it hasn't gotten stale yet. Most of the other characters are pretty decent as well, especially Dino the Italian manager of the cafe who loves Japanese culture in general and Maika in particular. The art style is

Tejina-senpai
(Manga)
add
You'll know whether you like Tejina-Senpai by the time you finish the first chapter. It is a very straightforward gag manga with a fair bit of ecchi.

I also think the art is really good for this type of manga, effortlessly switching between comedic and attractive. If you have a low tolerance for ecchi, you might give

G-Maru Edition
(Manga)
add
It's a shame that this didn't last very long. G-Maru is one of the better ecchi comedies that I've come across. The best part is undoubtedly the outstanding art by Mizuki Kawashita. It's fun watching her get her full ecchi on. The story isn't anything special but it provides plenty of opportunity for comedic situations. One problem is that the only character that is very interesting is Aruto (she is great) but I'm willing to put that down to Kawashita only having a short time to develop them. It only takes a day or two to get through all the chapters so if you like

Like a lot of 4-koma, Aho Girl takes a little while to get going but once all the major characters are established, it is relentlessly funny. It's a very simple story about an idiot and the people around her who have to deal with her antics. It's really just dumb fun but the jokes land pretty consistently. This is mostly because of the great characters, who are all hilarious in their own way. The best part about it is how unsympathetically things are portrayed. Yoshiko is a proud idiot has no concern for the people she causes problems for. The main male character Akutsu seems
