It's actually a funny manga, so its not quite Gary Stu in that we aren't supposed to take his awesomeness seriously. Plus I am pretty sure that he isn't even human....
Yeah exactly. I can't believe someone can miss something that obvious. The whole point of the manga is that he is ridiculously cool and perfect literally all the time in whatever situation to the point of absurdity.
First year high school student Sakamoto isn't just cool, he's the coolest!
I understand that it's hard to like him, I don't like him too but him being perfect all the time is funny because of how absurd and unrealistic it is. The manga is very self aware.

I'd love to know someone like him and enjoy watching how he interacts with other characters - be it teasing Black Rabbit, encouraging Jin or discussing true meaning of art with Shiroyasha.
Why can't you deal with a single character like him when 95% of anime have someone completely different?

*5. *91,924 *,489,137 Sakamoto desu ga? Vol.2
28. *26,810 *,957,526 Sakamoto desu ga? Vol.1
so GARY STU is so popular nowadays huh ?
so, this Super Cool, Super Smart, Super Awesome, Super Handsome, No flaw character is so Popular nowadays huh ?
Also, what's wrong with being super strong or super smart?
not only being super strong OR super smart, but he is super strong AND super smart.
i don't see any problem if he only super strong OR super smart, but he is Perfect no flaw.
Don't you get bored with all those average whiny MCs in every second show?
they are better than flat boring mc. everything is so easy for the mc.

Someone like Izayoi is amazing for a change, we don't get MCs like him too often. Also I have no idea why you think it's something new (well, I do, you've probably only started watching anime recently). The only new thing is the term you used.

Nowadays? I figured they were always popular, considering they are an ideal type of char and humans in general tend to love their ideals.
P.S. I'm pretty sure I dont have to state the obvious but just to avoid any misunderstandings............ by popular, I dont mean every single person ofc, since opinions and tastes vary.

Hey, I contributed to that number for a change (as oppose to my purchases not counting (damn international mail delays)!
You know it's the shipment date - and not the date you receive it - that counts, right?
Or are you saying that they usually send the item out late because you don't live in Japan, in which case that's the first time I've ever heard of that.

not only being super strong OR super smart, but he is super strong AND super smart.
i don't see any problem if he only super strong OR super smart, but he is Perfect no flaw.
Thats the thing. I believe that it depends on the kind of manga/anime it is. If the entire manga is based around the "Perfectness" of this "Perfect" person, then your problem isnt with the character but the entire manga itself.
Personally, I find it to be the exact opposite. I get way more excited when the MC thrashes the bad guy or atleast doesnt get beat up continuously before he finally gets to win. And what makes such MCs even better is when they have a really great personality to go along with their strength.
Basically what Progeusz said above lol. OP chars with the personality to match arent common and thats why when I watch a show with such a char, it makes the show even better for me.
