Most of us have been through highschool. But our lives definitely weren't as funny as they are illustrated in this manga.

Daily Lives of Highschool Boys is an outstanding gag manga, and so, one of my favourite comedies written to date. It had me furiously laughing whenever I had a read. The concept is a very simple one. It just illustrates daily lives of highschool students in a silly yet funny manner. The manga takes situations that every highschooler at some point in their life might have encountered, exaggerates them a little, and turns it into a gag, which most of the times is nothing short of ridiculously hilarious.

There was not a single chapter I didn't enjoy. Each chapter is a little skit of about 8 pages. The length of each chapter is absolutely perfect in my opinion, and the format is preferable as well. You read 8 pages, you laugh it off and the end. This manga is by no means comparable to other comedies like Gintama or SKET Dance, but I do not mean this in a bad way. I'm saying this because Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou is in a league of its own. It nails the "Highschool Comedy" genre to the core.

The characters are, of course, the center of all the comedy. There are a variety of characters, but no real main character. There's everyone from a pervert guy to a romanticist girl to an extremely serious guy to a perfectly average guy and so on. You get the idea, it's a fairly unorthodox cast. While some characters may not get as much 'screen time' as others, they're sure to entertain you in whatever little time they get.

It may not be every reader's cup of tea in terms of its humour, but if you're a fan of good comedy, you might want to give this a second thought.

That said, I really hope that the manga gets continued in the coming years. I am sure to miss it when I'm done with it.
