I used to love reading this story. Week to week the drama it presented was realistic and in character, every conflict made sense, and was emotionally compelling. However, since Chapter 268, the story has fallen off the cliff in the most contrived nonsensical way imaginable and it's made me vehemently hate this story.
Before anyone asks, I was never part of the waifu wars involved with this manga. I related to Rui the most and wanted her to be happy, but I loved all the characters. What Kei Sasuga has done with the most recent chapters is fundamentally disrespect her characters, her audience, and this story, read more
Starts out nice, gas great ecchi, then turns to absolute shit.
It looks like there was a ghost writer who came in to write the plot for the second third of the story and thwn left, saying they don't want to work with sasuga anymore, leaving us with the absolute dumpster fire that we ended up with. Either that, or Sasuga had a massive stroke that made her think that this shit ending is somehow a good idea. We're talking shittiness levels that would make Nisekoi cringe. Shittiness levels that make the HIMYM ending seem good. Shittiness level that make the ending of GOT look like a fucking masterpiece. I've wasted read more
One of the biggest frustrations I've ever read in my life.
It is really disappointing that you follow 276 chapters and come across a roller coaster of quality and consistency. This was the second manga I read completely and I can say that until chapter 258 I believed it to be the best I had ever read, but from then the quality and consistency just dropped, where we see the development and growth of a relationship between 2 characters (Rui and Natsuo) that has everything to become a couple but at the end of the manga all this changes without any sense or nexus throwing away read more
(Save yourself the time, and DO NOT read)
This manga was a trip, but one that I got hooked on fast. It was the perfect blend of romance and drama (and ecchi), and was enjoyable given the weird situation. It had it's ups and downs, but ultimately started to come out on top as one of my favorites. That is, until the dumpster fire hit. It was really starting to get wholesome and fulfilling towards the end, and there was a clear way to end this manga (not because of what the majority of readers wanted, but because the character development was leading directly towards this perfect read more
This manga will go down in history as one of the greatest declines in writing quality.
The author, without spoiling much, writes in very serious issues and treats them as nothing and never shows us the consequences of actions. Chapter 52 to 114 is a brilliant example of this. It's now got to the point, over 200 chapters in, where the author is just scratching their head thinking of how to force drama. Will they cheat? Will someone get stabbed? Is there gonna be a rape/murder/blackmail of some sort? Will MC make up his damn mind about a single thing (MC is a loser)? The one saving grace read more
First off, congratulations to Sasuga Kei, as the author of this manga for causing a meltdown in the fanbase.
Ever heard of Food Wars/Shokugeki no Souma? The manga's ending was very disappointing and caused a huge letdown. Let me tell you, food wars ending is not even comparable to this manga. if Food wars has the worst ending in 2019, then this manga has the worst ending in the decade. Story (10/10) : The story is about a guy named Natsuo who fucked with a stranger, then fucked with his step sister, then fucking up his entire family, then a lot more fucking, till the author decided read more
I have read a multitude of dramas. I have read a multitude of romances. I have survived the horrors that are Seo Kouji's romance works(I'm looking at you Kimi no Iru Machi, but I surprisingly liked Fuuka). I have spent days and nights ailing over the feeling of reading such thought-provoking stories.
But never have I ever been so mortally pissed off by a manga. Domestic Girlfriend is the most confusing story I have ever read in my life. The story takes so many twists and turns that makes you question the author's thought process. There will be arcs that seem essential to the story but read more
I've read every single chapter that has been released, until the very ending. Like everyone else is saying, this manga declined so much, so badly in terms of writing quality in less than 10 chapters. Not that it hasn't been declining before, but at the very least until chapter 268, everything was still pretty much solid.
I don't want to give spoilers, but here's a heads up. Do note that I've distanced myself from the "waifu wars" and that until some time ago, I loved all the characters, as they went through visible developments a long time ago. The manga has been in decline for at read more
It started out aight but had a lot of convenient shit so the story and drama can go on but I didn't mind it that much as I cared for the characters. But now, wtf is this bullshit bruh Natsuo pulls out the 'I always loved you, Hina' card and boom the end! Like wtf bruh what is love at this point??? And then Hina waking up after years and shit all because of the power of love. WTF BRUHHHHHHHHHHH!! The author should've just chose one of the girls instead of trying to please everyone. Natsuo has a baby with Rui but marries Hina???????? How

Domestic na Kanojo is finally over, after it's been dragged for so long and beaten to death it finally can rest in peace.
Art While the backgrounds weren't masterpieces, the characters's design made up for it, in most cases at least.They were expressive, sometimes making for some good comedic moments. There was also a nice variety in clothes which made it feel more realistic. What really matters, at least in my opinion, is that Sasuga really shines when it comes to drawing the naked body. Even after everything that happened i can still appreciate the way she draws tits. If you only want to experience that, read read more
For a long time, I've really, really liked this manga. The author presented us with serious problems about the relationship between the characters. The story was very enjoyable, character development was excellent, the roller coasters made sense, and then... last few chapters came out, and everything was thrown into the trash.
After reading the last few chapters (ch. 272-273) it felt that I'm in a fantasy world where the previous 100-200 chapters are non-existent: the groundwork and foundation of the story barely exists, and the relationship between the characters are fake. It's a huge and very bad plot twist, which for me doesn't make any read more
This is the first time I've actually hated every single character in a manga, before (except for Momo). Literally every single person (except Momo) is the absolute worst kind of scumbag human being that could be put to paper. Normally, that's not a problem (I actually enjoy reading Redo of Healer and everyone in that manga is completely horrible). However, this mangaka seems to write these horrible people as if they were angels and the fucked up things they do are either excused, or not a problem at all. Apparently, if you do horrible things, but you were doing them because you "love" someone, it's

Oh man... Oh man.. I read tons and tons of romance mangas as well as pure shoho. Those are my favourite genres.
Domestic na kanojo was one of my favourite manga in its genre too. I was waiting every week to read the latest chapter with anxiety. And I bought most of the french translated books (they're not up to date yet).. I even bought all the existing mangas in japanese when I was in Japan las year. That was a waste of money and a waste of time. I regret that I kept reading that shit since 2018. I was so into that kind of story, it read more
I want to say that this manga was great. The character development, their interaction, the world building, the build up to emotional/dramatic events and the plot scenes were good. I came from the anime but of course I read from the beginning and I really enjoy up to chapter 240. Why? It was a little predictable because what I saw was happiness for the character then boom, pain and agony to the side character but it wasn't that bad. Not the best but still a nice but random change of pace.
Now let read more
I don't know if I will be able to express how disappointed I was with the end of this manga, but I will try.
Well, I'll start by talking about my journey by reading this manga. It all started when the anime was being released, I got interested and decided to go read the manga. I really liked the development of the characters, Natsuo improves a lot compared to what he was before, and I liked that a lot. I also liked how the author was very realistic in portraying life's events and how the characters dealt with everyday situations. I admit that I am TeamRui, but read more
The outstanding aspect of this manga is its ability to resonate at a very deep level with the reader. As a reader, you experience a range of emotions strong enough to determine your mood for the whole day. Such a power, in the hands of an author, is a great responsibility: and the way Sasuga used its power was nothing short of criminal, in how it managed to make thousands of fans fall into rage/depression in the span of just a few final chapters.
Domestic Na Kanojo has been on my list for a while, but since I'm not a fan of serialization I waited until read more
If you dont want to read all of this, just know that if you dont want to lose your time, dont even bother reading the manga.
So, we finally got the Domestic na Kanojo ending, and let me tell you, it was a dumpster fire, these last chapters just wasted all of the character development that happened during the 276 chapters that this manga has. To be fully clear with you, i really enjoyed reading this manga before the ending, the characters act in a somewhat believable way and get fleshed out, + their relationships evolve with time, but how it ended just threw all of read more
Ok, the manga has finally finished. yeah! No it's not.
*THERE WILL BE SPOILERS* All of this is my opinion so....yeah. The ending was straight up disappointing. Natsuo asks Hina to marry him? Like where is the logic. Maybe he developed stronger feelings for her when she was in a coma, but still. The manga was just a rollercoaster, ups and downs. Rui fans vs Hina fans, I personally was a Rui fan but that doesn't effect my grading. Rui and Natsuo had a child, so it looked like it was over for the Hina fans? Not its no, the twist in the end.....its not a read more
I admit, the whole premise on the immoral pleasures of student-teacher relationship got my attention. I stayed for the pleasingly realistic approach the cast have made in resolving the issues brought by their choices. Their decisions and the consequences were impactful. Even with the switching of sides from the love triangle kept happening, it was enjoyable enough to root equally for both with how they've given their reason for their choices. Everything was going well, cliched situations happened, but for some very very unnatural reason, everyone and everything changed.
[SPOILERS AHEAD FOR THE FINAL ARC--It is important for me to include this spoiler because for me read more
*mild not-plot related spoilers*
I've updated this review now that I've finished the series. The ending will be touched in its own section at the end. Story: 4 I think it was at its best when it was basically a slice of life story, with just a stronger focus on romance than most. The interactions between characters were well handled, the plot wasn't overly complicated(minus the incest), and while following obvious cliches, it wasn't all that bad. I actually quite enjoyed how the story chose to continue further after high school, which is where most romance stories tend to end. The story was good while the characters were read more |
