Synopsis

After living 50 simulated high school lives and dating over 100 virtual boys, Tomoko Kuroki believes that she is ready to conquer her first year of high school. Little does she know that she is much less prepared than she would like to think. In reality, Tomoko is an introverted and awkward young girl, and she herself is the only one who doesn't realize it! With the help of her best friend, Yuu Naruse, and the support and love of her brother Tomoki, Tomoko attempts to brave the new world of high school life.

Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui! chronicles the life of a socially awkward and relatively friendless high school otaku as she attempts to overcome her personal barriers in order to live a fulfilling life.

Anti-social and awkward Tomoko Kuroki is starting highschool.
And although she has role played a high-schooler online and in video games...she's not too good at it in real life.

She's fine, she'd actually be a perfect main character for a slice of ...

An amusing but never quite gutbusting spin on the slice of life genre, Watamote is what you'd get if Dostoevsky's Underground Man was an anime high school girl. Tomokoi's awkward and constantly in her head, having weird fantasies and generally failing any social task. It's a far cry from most slice of life shows about friendship and simple enjoyement of everyday life, and taking a cringe humor to the genre is definitely fresh, but I think my biggest issue with the humor is that her cringe is pretty self contained and only rarely spills out on those around her.

I think the key to cringe humor ...

The story and morals are not bad and surely a lot can relate or understand and find value here, however the writing, storytelling, humor, is cringe, repulsive, disgusting, and unnecessarily disturbing.
There’s no reason why certain things are here when it’s about a simple story about a weird teenage unpopular girl with a weird personality, yet keeping most things in her thoughts that nobody around her knows, the morality of loneliness and feeling not normal or human and the importance of not feeling alone, not being afraid, knowing that you are human, and the morality of well.. growing up, accepting the fact it’s natural and ...
