Watamote deals with a 15 year old named Matoko who is entering high school and while she thinks she's the biggest thing in high school history (if there is such a thing), she soon realizes that she is not popular at all, only in her head, and now she deals with overcoming her VERY huge lack of social skills and trying to make friends and overall, a boyfriend. Madness ensues as she goes from giving herself a makeover, to talking to her best friend about boys, to watching a couple (from on top of her high school's roof with two middle school kids) doing it in a hotel across her high school.
The character of Tomoka is one that is just not memorable unless you were that awkward virgin in high school who had the popular friend and made yourself look like an ass every opportunity you got, and her best friend is the girl you wanted the looks and body of but of course, with every alpha there has to be a beta, and sadly, that was you.
Overall, it's a series that you can tell was not popular with the japanese audience. It flopped and has yet to be green-lit for a second season. You can tell this by the way it ends (if you are like me, you will not like the ending of this show) that it did not do well and personally, it shows. As much as I wanted this show to succeed, it did not find happiness and we will only be able to wait until more Watamote is made or the manga hits big selling numbers once again.
Jebus gives Watamote: 2 hugs from a purple puppy dog out of 5.
