I started reading this manga after i watched the anime adaptation which was in my "plan to watch" for a year until i decided to watch it. I was expecting much, i only had glimpse of it a years back but i have no idea what the story is about, and surprisingly i really enjoyed it! It's not everyday i get to watch an anime that i enjoy so much i want to keep watching it, and i finished the anime in 2 days. I wanted more so i started reading its manga and oh man i love it too!

I really enjoyed the manga, ... its funny and of course it gets boring from time to time but i didn't let that bother from discontinuing to read the manga. The manga doesn't just solely dedicate it to kuroki but other characters you see had their time so you could know them yourself more! Which is really nice and is one of the reason why i love watamote. You get to see the other characters development and what they are thinking.

The story is i could say realistic, since i did have the same experience with some of the events happened in the manga. It also drops meme jokes you didn't asked for but i liked it and laughed, my favourite is the cristiano ronaldo one. So yeah, the story is realistic and i can imagine it actually happening in real life. I just realized that when i started looking back at my time in highschool lol and i think its funny to read it in a manga. Though i did found it boring at later chapters since they're just at school and you know what they are doing.

The characters are all great, they aren't flat and they have more to them that meets the eye! Like i said earlier, they had their fair share of time for you the reader to get to know what they are thinking which lets you know what kind of person they are. Not only they get to interact with Kuroki herself but they also had interaction among other characters to characters which is nice. My favourite character in the manga is Yoshida and i want to see her get in the anime, so i hope they get a season 2. Its really nice to see your painfully watching kuroki go through her first year in highschool then going beyond what you would expect her to only she is capable to do, that even kuroki herself wouldn't believe she would get to such happy point of highschool experience she'll have in the future and even deciding future with her new buddies. Which made me really happy for Kuroki

Wasted potential :( The first 12 volumes are fantastic. Tomoko is such a popular character because she's relatable, duh. But on top of that, to see such an unabashedly disgusting loser painted so earnestly was really refreshing. Much of the comedy came from the misunderstandings and awkward situations she would find herself in, giving the manga endless fuel to create comedic situations. You felt for her as she navigated through this world while clearly suffering from mental illness. It had a simultaneously tragic and comedic tone while never compromising one over the other.

Sadly, the manga loses serious steam around 12 volumes in. The story ... arc was always going to be about Tomoko making friends and coming out of her shell. I looked forward to it. But it happens way too fast. It feels like the authors dumped a dozen characters into the story who are all weirdly obsessed with being her friends; it doesn't feel organic at all. But much worse is that Tomoko just becomes an entirely different person. She goes from a tragic, cute, and unpredictable mess that feels like she may never be able to fit into society to a pretty bland protagonist that will sometimes get shy or say something vulgar. Again, I must emphasize that the issue is not that Tomoko changed. It's that it happened far too early and unorganically in the story.

The manga has transformed from being a tonally unique story, with an engaging protagonist with equally hilarious gags and painfully uncomfortable situations, to a sllightly above-average slice-of-life manga focused on melo-drama. The characters are likeable enough, but I've decided to drop the manga because I can't get over that tinge of disappointment when I remember how good it the manga used to be.

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.
