What do you think of the series?
| Spoilers may be included in this thread. Read the contents at your own risk. Just post your opinion about the series.  The protagonist is a 29 years old female office worker with logical thinking but without any common sense. Her aim is to become a normal person. As she was told that she should marry soon as a normal 29 yo girl, then, her abnormal quest for marriage began. The art style belongs to that for seinen (young male). It resembles... well... Inabe Kazu who is the author of Shokuryou Jinrui, etc. Namely, the art style is realistic and the art skill is above average. As the first section involves protagonist's violence, it gives you strong impression. As a whole, it's unrealistic black comedy of a psychopath. --- stats as of 2025-02-09 Score: N/A Ranked: #27188 Popularity: #32405 Members: 268 Favorites: 2 --- member segmentation Reading: 115 Completed: 1 On-Hold: 13 Dropped: 8 Plan to Read: 131 Total: 268 |

| I like it a lot so far. The arc focused on Kawahara was the weakest in my opinion but his current role in the series complements Abu perfectly. I like how bizarre it can get at times and a lot of it has to do with Abu's approach to every individual situation, sometimes having the perfect solution and other times being hopelessly naive. I also love how expressive characters' faces can be, in Abu's case, for someone who acts detached from normal conventions, the times when she feels genuine anger or joy are depicted with such intense reactions. |

I love the series, I just finished volume 2 and am enjoying the heck out of it. Some of you say it's the weakest arc so if thats the weakest then Im excited for next ones.
Art is great, although the art is kinda reused to often for my liking, maybe my photographic memory is too good, but every 3 pages or so I feel like there's expression or entire drawing Ive already seen.
Then again, it seems to be weekly release so some sacrifices have to be made.

| @BigPaws the series definitely gets better and better! I didn't notice the times when art gets reused, it honestly has some very good visuals all around. |

The following is the real hell by a repeated panel artist.I didn't notice the times when art gets reused, it honestly has some very good visuals all around. |

| @kuroneko99 eh, at least here it makes sense it's reused. I mostly dislike it when I see the same drawing in different setting. Sometimes i even see drawing from few chapters ago, easy to tell when character is looking in slightly wrong direction lol. In Abu's case also easy to spot, because sometimes there is clearly slightly sloppier drawn character cos panel is smaller and suddenly next character is 2x more detailed (cos reused). Last few panels of Volume 2 were really rushed, Abu's shirt was basically a doodle lol. So yeah, great art, but looks like artist is really tight on time. |
