Shock value is considered by many to be a cheap trick or an easy way to get a rile out of someone without putting in much effort. To me, however, there's a sweet spot of shock value, an uncanny valley of sorts where the shock becomes comedy before it becomes outright disgust. This manga hits it dead on in the face, completely obliterating it and leaving nothing but a mess in the surrounding area.

It's clear from the first chapter that you're not here for a romcom with a decidedly more mature art style. You're here for the ride. Every character is pushed up to the max for the sake of driving everything up the wall, and as a result, we break through the roof into the stratosphere. Each chapter introduces a new baffling brazy batshit insane twist that you have no choice but to giggle at. To take this manga seriously is to fail yourself. There might be a sprinkle of real shit, a semblance of reasonable thematic elements, but in reality, we're just here to have fun, so don't be fooled.

If you want something grounded and logical, it's not going to be here. Yes, it's hard to turn off your brain completely and just enjoy the absurdity of it all, but life is absurd. At the end of it all you might wonder what you read all of it for. Sometimes you don't need a reason other than "cool as fuk yea", and that's fine.
