Itai Onee-san wa Suki Desu ka, huh? Would like to read a slice of life story about a clumsy and a bit airheaded OL? This manga is for you!

Story: It started really slow I think, just showing us funny/stupid situations our heroine stumbles upon. Making it look like she's a pathetic, pitiful character just for the sake of sympathizing. Some people make comparison to Watamote, but I didn't find any similarities to be honest. But nevertheless, by continuing your read, you may find the story more interesting since it'd also involve romance. You may see progression, but with a little sloppiness of the main ... character included. It's cute, in a way.
There's only 100 chapters and they are really easy to read. It took me about 3 days, since I've been busy, but it was a good read.

Characters: Excluding the main character Itai, there's not much. In my opinion new characters were introduced a little late and weren't really developed or revealed fully, not that it's a hard requirement. But I would like to see more of these background characters, like horror-manga artist or cheerful kombini worker from Thai. But again, the author said it's his first work which evolved from a 5 page one shot.

Art: It's fine/mediocre. Doesn't snatch stars from the sky, literally. But it's enjoyable, again it's a slice of life manga.

I found this title quite randomly to be honest. So here's my humble opinion on this:I liked it! Despite mixed reviews here, on MAL, I decided to give it a shot and I regret nothing. It's 6.7 out of 10!
