Could've been better. It's a "bus stop" manga.
It was almost everyone's fantasy at some point to be romantically involved with their teacher when they were a kid. This manga is the realisation of that idea.
It's wholesome and mature, but there's just not enough meat to this manga.
It's almost boring with how little actual events happen in the manga. It's practically the same status quo for almost every chapter. Some people will like that, it's a safe and comfortable manga. But for others like me, I'd have preferred drama. Even if you disagree that this manga should have included some drama, it's undeniable that the manga
...
suffers from any sort of character development or captivating moments in the story to make you want to read on.
I'm going to coin a term I'll be using in my reviews from now on for manga like this. It will be "Bus stop" manga. Bus stop manga are exactly that, Manga that would best be used to pass the time while you wait for the bus. Not captivating enough to get yourself invested in during a long reading session, but entertaining enough to pass the time from chapter to chapter as you wait for the bus.
It's certainly one of the more entertaining Bus stop manga I have read, but that's because I certainly enjoy the fantasy of romanticising a teacher. Personal bias aside though, and the manga isn't captivating enough to hook me for the entire duration. The chapters have a rinse-repeat cycle and there's practically no character development or interesting story developments. If the manga was longer and less "moment to moment", with some drama sprinkled in, I think this could've been a slam dunk of a forbidden romcom manga. But alas, It remains a Bus stop manga.
Overall, I think this is an entertaining bus stop manga, but nothing you should go out of your way to read, unless you like the teacher fantasy. I do think that the way the author handled the forbidden romance between the student and teacher was great though, and very mature.
I'm NOT a contrarian, and if your opinion differs, be civil. Your opinion is as valid as mine. Don't rate this as "confusing" just because you disagree with my view, instead, criticise the actual writing of the review. That's what it's there for. Don't be a child. Thank you for reading my rapid review, have a nice day/night!

*Rapid Review*
This manga is yet another "Bus stop" manga, however, it's one of the better ones.
I'm going to coin a term I'll be using in my reviews from now on for manga like this. It will be "Bus stop" manga. Bus stop manga are exactly that, Manga that would best be used to pass the time while you wait for the bus. Not captivating enough to get yourself invested in during a long reading session, but entertaining enough to pass the time from chapter to chapter as you wait for the bus.
The manga's entire shtick is that a horny college girl is trying to
...
get her college boyfriend to have sex with her for the first time, but because he has no sexual desire, this causes her attempts to fail. Cue many shenanigans and gags with an Ecchi undertone, and that's the entire manga.
The art is fine, the plot is entertaining though nothing you can get invested in, and the ending is a bit disappointing.
The idea is quite unique, although if the genders were swapped, what becomes a cute manga, becomes a feminist's nightmare. Double standards suck. But the manga is entertaining.
You will miss out on nothing if you don't read this manga, however, it's decent fun if you read it on the train or in a waiting room. Just don't expect anything you can get invested in. Although manga like this have their place in society, as my previous sentence states.

Another "Bus stop" manga...
I'm going to coin a term I'll be using in my reviews from now on for manga like this. It will be "Bus stop" manga. Bus stop manga are exactly that, Manga that would best be used to pass the time while you wait for the bus. Not captivating enough to get yourself invested in during a long reading session, but entertaining enough to pass the time from chapter to chapter as you wait for the bus.
"Arigatights!" is unequivocally an Tights fetish manga. Although unlike other fetish manga, it's not sexual at all. As not all Fetishes are sexual, despite the
...
Ecchi tag, it's very tame.
This manga is an 5/10, it does absolutely nothing good or bad, it just happens to exist. You will be not missing out on anything by reading this manga, unless you have a tights fetish. The manga is actually quite educational, you learn a lot about tights in a fun way, although it's nothing you can't just look up in 5 minutes.
Characters are mediocre, the plot is almost exclusively just about tights and the many shenanigans involving the MC with a Fetish and the few girls with tights of all kinds, which is fine for what it is, just don't expect anything actually of substance.
The humour is decent, I had a few laughs. The art and composition is just fine.
This is a manga that you could easily read while on the train or in a waiting room, but nothing you can get invested in. It's one of the most inconsequential manga I've ever read, although as I stated before, that has its merits. Your time is best spent elsewhere.

*LONG REVIEW*
Art:
The first half of this manga featured some of the best art I've ever seen in a manga. But the second half really dumbed the art down, things got far less detailed. Probably an issue with time. There were certainly amazing art sometimes in the second half, but there is a clear down-grade. The faces went from circular and unorthodox with creative angles, to angular, orthodox, and generic angles. This reflects the story as well, that I'll touch on in its own section. If the art had kept its amazing standard throughout the entire manga, I'd think it would bump this up to a
...
9/10, rather than the 8/10 this manga is. The art conveys the emotions behind each scene well though. You can feel the disgusting aura from the monsters, you can feel the desperation during action scenes, you can feel the horror of the gore, you can feel the sliminess of the wicked humans, and you can feel the passion in intimate scenes. Perhaps if this was a monthly manga, it would've been able to do all it wanted to do. The character designs were great, the monster designs were quite unique, though some fell into genericity. All in all, I really liked the art, and even in the scenes I didn't, it still managed to invoke emotion. I still much preferred the art and character designs in the first half though.
Story:
Contains NO spoilers, beyond what's implied.
This manga turned from a Seinen into a Shounen. It went from an interesting exploration into the human psyche and the effects that desire have on everyone, with characters that were morally ambiguous, to an hero story where there is a clear contrast between "good and evil". There are some very interesting and sometimes unique character backgrounds and motivations, however during the second half, things become very generic. Though this manga may revel in tropes and unoriginal ideas by its second half, I think there's still enough original and thought-provoking ideas and setpieces to call it a good story, just not anything revolutionary besides the shift half-way through the manga. Characters are pretty good, had the manga kept to its Seinen roots, I think they would've developed into a very great cast with their own reasons and motivations, rather than everyone being forced to follow the MC on his own selfish journey. Despite the story being about everyone's desires born from being selfish, everyone eventually converges to help the MC, which takes away from what made them so compelling, their selfishness. The erotica makes the world seem more grittier and further increases the reader's relationship with the characters, it is a common tool to use nudity/erotica in a story this way, even if it does feel cheap. But the erotica isn't always... *clears throat*, consensual. So the nudity also increases the tension and the feeling of disgust that comes with a story about giving into desires. The ending was actually good, which is wild considering it's an manga ending and all. It had an adequate amount of time to wrap up the MC's story and the world as a whole, with an interesting twist. However, some characters don't get proper resolutions to their plot lines. The fates of some characters are forgotten about at several points in the manga and in the end. They are mostly minor characters, sure, however, this manga is about selfishness and character relationships. So seeing these people who shaped the major characters not being treated right is annoying.
Powers were also really wishy-washy. While not as bad as "Hell's paradise", "Jagaaan"'s powers are hard to understand and usually just come out of nowhere. Cool, but mostly mindless.
This is a tale of two mangas. One half is a Seinen character study of the human race, and the other half, is a Shounen battle manga where the psychological elements take a backseat. Really, the two halves of the manga are almost the same in terms of plots and fights when you look back on it. So the feeling of a "completed" manga is lost, because there's the beginning of a Seinen manga here, and an ending of a Shounen manga here, both frankensteined together. It's a shame, because they both could've been great mangas in their own right.
Overall:
Jagaaaaan! could've been amazing, but with all its faults, and the declining average quality of the manga as time went on, it remains simply "good", or for me, "great" as I really enjoyed the first half.
Despite me personally ranking this a 8/10, by the last quarter, I was really looking forward to the end. I'd still recommend this to people though, although the second half can really be a dealbreaker for some, that first half is brilliant.

*RAPID REVIEW*
As of chapter 275:
This manga should have ended years ago. The romance is cute at first, but really infuriating because they always keep cutting away whenever things get spicy. There's also a historical side plot that is often boring and predictable, the mystery element is intriguing at first but underwhelming, particularly because it took so long to solve. It was a 7/10, then a 6/10, then a 5/10, then finally a 4/10. The longer you read this, the more disappointed you get. The characters barely have any development and nothing of substance ever happens. The plots aren't interesting and the historical sections feel like
...
it should be a different manga. The tone jumps all over the place a lot too. I don't recommend this, maybe for those who are married IRL, but not for anyone else.

*RAPID REVIEW*
It's a low 5/10.
As a huge gaming fan who hasn't played video games for 3 years as of now, I was quite disappointed with this manga. It just turns out to be a very standard and quite boring romcom. The manga does do some unique things, like dealing with the Hikikomori lifestyle and how it effects the people around them. Those parts are the best part of the manga.
But for the most part, it's a normal romcom with a lot of crossdressing and barely any actual gaming. I like Traps, but I wanted gaming. There hasn't been a manga or anime yet that
...
truly captures the special magic of Gaming.
It's really long, nothing really happens, the conflicts aren't that engaging, and the art isn't the best. It's all in colour, and the scanlations are pretty good. But I really don't think this should be worth anyone's time. Even a Gamer's time. Reading this feels more like aimlessly grinding in an RPG than having fun fighting a boss.

This is a "Bus stop" manga.
I'm going to coin a term I'll be using in my reviews from now on for manga like this. It will be "Bus stop" manga. Bus stop manga are exactly that, Manga that would best be used to pass the time while you wait for the bus. Not captivating enough to get yourself invested in during a long reading session, but entertaining enough to pass the time from chapter to chapter as you wait for the bus.
The story is about a boy who comes to like his new step-siblings, one is a playful loli, the other, a caring onee-san.
...
It's got almost no story, the characters have little depth, and the art is just decent. Dream sequences are overused, and it is obvious that this is the first work of a mangaka.
The manga's entertainment comes from the "sweet" and "spicy" siblings interacting with the MC, who is a very bland character. The situations are decently fun though. As the manga goes on, the characters begin to truly care for one another. The transformation from strangers to family is the best thing this manga does, even if it's too fast.
The manga is pretty superfluous. You can easily skip this one. Those with siblings might enjoy this though.

A (semi) serious review for this crossover ad.
If you are major Dragon Ball fan like myself, this is the sort of advertisements you would actually be excited to watch when it comes on.
But I leave my bias out of my reviews.
First up, the animation is horrendous. There's no excuse this time, considering that they didn't have a time crunch for this 30 seconds advertisement with only 20 seconds of animation, they could've taken their time. This is a criticism of the higher ups who rushed this ad, not the animators themselves. Most of it is still frames and they STILL managed to make
...
character look off model. The final flash is just a standard one colour beam with no depth.
Second, as with almost every advertisment, the actual product is not advertised. Bulma just holds up the product during the last 3 seconds without actually demonstrating how the product would clean better than Vegeta's method (to destroy everything). Considering that the bathroom she was going to clean is now destroyed, it would be more fitting if she was holding up a brick and mortar...
The ad just made me want to buy another Vegeta Figure, not a cleaning spray. So it fails as an ad for Kao.
But as a Dragon Ball fan, who's seen literally every single media product this franchise has put out, I'd say this was still mildy entertaining.

*SPOILER FILLED RANT!!!*
What an overrated manga. I can see why it would be popular for it's time though. The first 7 or so volumes of this manga is some of the most boring, fucking infuriating shit I've ever seen. Joe before his character development is one of the worst characters I've even seen. Even after his development he's still sometimes an utter misogynistic, violent asshole. The manga picks up with the Rikishi vs Joe post-juvie arc, and I liked carlos. But yet again, they made it less about boxing and more about brawling. I don't see the love for boxing in this manga than I
...
do Hajime No Ippo. Which is my 2nd fav manga. The boxing in this manga is not important at all. There isn't any variety, rounds last a few pages and Joe doesn't demonstrate any skill in the sport besides relentlessness. You could swap out the Boxing for underground street fighting and nothing would change. The story was a meandering slog with nothing to say. Art was decent to good, I don't have any qualms about its age, I don't judge things based on it's age because that's dumb. Despite Rikkishi's death being one of the best moments in anime and manga I've ever seen, I can't give this manga any more than a 4/10. The first 7 ENTIRE VOLUMES is a 1/10 though. Fuck that shit. Sorry for my bad language.

As of chapter 90:
This is a very novel concept. A God vs Humans battle royale where EVERYONE is overpowered?! This is pure, unadulterated HYPE. It excels in a single aspect, but is extremely weak in literally anything else such as romance. Though, you get what you sign up for. Good backstories enhance the eventual action even more, and most often, you root for both sides at the same time. Great art and incredible fights!
