This was the first volume of manga I ever bought online and translated for myself.
...Maybe I'm biased for that reason, but I can genuinely say that I love this manga from the bottom of my heart. I loved it so much that I feebly attempted to typeset the first chapter all by myself for others to enjoy and hopefully pick up, lol.

First of all, the art is very smooth & I really enjoy the artist's style. I especially love the expressions, or more specifically Hades' expressions, and the lil moe fucking blushes (on both Hades and everyone else) that make me want to cry.
May or ... may not have actually cried more than once. Like... why is Hades so cute? Why does that make me so damn happy?

The characters are really well made, I think. I was really shocked when affections were confirmed in the very first chapter - it's refreshing, really. I also love Hades' design and his lil monocle, and the author's representation of Aphrodite and Athena - and of course Elvira. Bless her, tbh.
I love Elvira's stoic-ness around Hades and both of their clueless & hopelessness. I get so many warm fuzzy feelings.

The story isn't the most unique obviously, but I like the twist it has on greek mythology. I mean, it's bordering on a 4-koma manga so I'm not even sure how to rate the story pfft.
The character development happens reallllly smoothly & there was no... er, ~edgy moments~... which was both shocking and relieving considering it's a romance manga.

The comedy was actually really good, and I laughed even more than I have in other manga that are centered solely around comedy. I love the interactions with the other employees (attendants? idk).
Overall, I love this manga a lot and I hope a team ends up picking it up so more people can experience it in English :)

Sadosuto na Fujiwara-kun is a wholesome, enjoyable manga about a guy who was raised with a sadistic host-like attitude, causing difficulties in saying what he really means and many misunderstandings.
The characters go very well together, too - we have the fake-sadistic Fujiwara-kun, of course, a real sadist, lovesick yankee, ESP best friend, self-admiring student council president, and more.
I don't understand the low score, it has smooth art that is really pleasing to the eye, and it gave me quite a few laughs.
Overall an enjoyable series and I wholeheartedly wish it hadn't been axed.

Story & Characters- 7 and 8, respectively
Unfortunately the story and the characters ... haven't had much of a chance to develop due to its quite early cancellation, so there isn't a lot to say about these. I really love the characters and their different personalities, plus how they interact with eachother.

Art - 9

Overall - 8/10

"This anime is full of ordinary dialogue so that the viewers can fully enjoy how cute the girls are."
That literally sums it up.

At least, that's what I would say if it actually summed it up.
The dialogue is anything but ordinary-- the things they talk about are absolutely hilarious and I found myself almost bawling from laughter very often. All the characters had very different personalities, and, as the above statement said, are all really cute.

Story: 8/10
I was first introduced to Joshiraku through an osu! song- the ending theme, to be exact. It was a great, fun song, and the anime looked good, so I decided ... to check it out. It's about five rakugo girls (and a mysterious mask...) that discuss random topics. Usually, they drift away from this topic until they're up to something completely different. It's always hilarious. However, there are loads of Japanese inside jokes/puns that you probably wouldn't understand. I recommend 'gg subs' (I use KissAnime to watch it), because they make it very easy for you to simply look up what certain things mean.

Art: 8/10
The anime's art is pretty similar to the manga. Very cute, obviously. I like how they've done it, because anything more detailed would ruin the theme of the anime, in my opinion.

Sound: 10/10
Okay, I know what you're thinking-- "10/10?! Isn't that a little far-fetched?!?!?!"
Yes, probably.
But, taking in all aspects- the opening is amazing, and I have the ending downloaded onto my phone. I know most of the words from listening and singing along on repeat. IT'S SO GOOD. The voices are also cute, and cute in a good way, not in an intolerable way.

Characters: 9/10
The characters are all very different and amazing in their own ways.
There's Marii. Marii is a very funny, tomboyish character who never fails to make me laugh with her bruised butt. She is often ignored or left out by the other characters. Her name, Buratei Marii, is a pun meaning bloody mary- say it out loud. Buratei Marii. You see?!
Kukuru is a very unlucky, emotionally unstable girl. Her name contains various Japanese puns relating to very dark things. She has a dark sense of humour.
Kigu is a very cute girl with short yellow hair. She pretends to be cute, but often has moments in which she turns very dark, muttering that she is sick of 'their damn expectations', often swearing.
Her name, Kigurumi Haroukitei, is a pun-- say it out loud! Kigurumi and Hello Kitty.
Tetora is a very lucky girl, and considered the main character of the series. Again, her name is a Japanese pun.
Finally, we have Gankyou. Gankyou is a glasses-wearing girl, who often acts very violent towards the other girls. She generally likes reading books and surfing the web.

Overall: 8/10

This is a must-watch for those looking for anime which reflects the dark and humorous side of life- you can thank Kukuru for the 'dark' part :)
