For the longest time the romcom/harem genre is something that I have always enjoyed watching and reading. Every season there seemed to be a new âwaifu warâ airing, and based on watching those particular shows I would always check out the source material if I found it interesting enough. Bokuben was one of those seasonal waifu wars that I actually did decide to pick up reading after watching the first episode. I caught up on the manga within a couple of days of watching the first episode, and let me say that I am so glad that I was able to read this manga. 1. Story(9/10) If you are looking for some groundbreaking or genre-breaking story, then Iâm sorry Bokuben is not the story for you. Bokuben uses a lot of common tropes and cliches to tell its story, however if you donât mind that or appreciate those types of stories then you may actually enjoy Bokuben. For me personally, I donât always 100% enjoy when animes/mangas just dump cliches for plot, but for Bokuben it really was one of the most enjoyable parts about it. For example, one particular chapter that I loved was the chapter in which Nariyukiâs mother couldnât make it to work, in which he proceeds to take her spot for the day. Little does he know that his mother was working at a lingerie shop, and that he would get stuck alone in that shop while also stuck in a costume that hides his identity. And of course every single one of the main female characters would proceed to walk in and ask for help one by one. Despite it being cliche and having these crazy one in a million types of encounters, I couldnât help but smile and enjoy these small and simple interactions that happen throughout the course of this series. And although I have only talked about these small moments and plot elements, the moments in which the series actually turns serious and wants to establish things is done really well too. 2. Art (8/10) The art in Bokuben is really good. The character designs, both main and side characters, are drawn really unique and all have their own charm. All of the female characters are drawn in a way that really makes them stand out from each other and the rest of the characters. The reason that the art is not rated higher is that the art for Bokuben cannot compare to the other shonen powerhouses that also publish in Weekly Shonen Jump, but at the same time, it really doesnât need super crazy double panels to portray its story adequately. All of the artwork from the beginning to the end is solid and doesnât waver in quality. 3. Character (10/10) The one aspect of Bokuben that impresses me the most is the characters. Personally, in most romcom/harem series, I typically always only really like one of the girls and at most two. But in Bokuben, there was a certain point in which I really liked each of the five girls as the best girl. Something that Tsutsui-sensei did really well with this series that stands out above most other series in this genre is really give a platform for all of the characters to grow and shine. Nisekoi, for example, has a similar amount of girls as Bokuben, however as a reader you know at a pretty early point which girls that the main character was going to end up with, meaning that any development between the mc and those side characters were really just useless side plots. However, in Bokuben, all the girls are well-defined and all go through their own personal development throughout the course of the story. All of the girls work well both together as well as individually and all of their development is towards both the characters personally as well as their feelings towards the mc. I donât want to spoil anything, but no matter which girl you pick you will be satisfied that the author does that character justice in the end. 4. Enjoyment (10/10) When it comes to just about every romcom/harem series, I always enjoy the ride, but always the ending is the thing that overrides everything because I either get really happy or really salty based on how the author ends the series. Iâm not gonna lie, in most cases I am on the salty side because the girl that I think is the best girl almost never wins, so when those particular mangas end, I always end up not liking it in the end because of the recency bias. Without saying too much, I can say that with the ending of Bokuben, I was very happy and satisfied in the way that Tsutsui-sensei decided to end this series. It was a pretty unique ending that I have never read or watched from another series in this genre and I promise no matter which character that you like, you wonât be disappointed with the ending. Everything that happens throughout Bokuben, whether it be the small cliche in-between moments, or the deeper moments of development that occur throughout the story, they all compile into a great story with tons of enjoyable moments. 5. Overall (10/10) Honestly, Bokuben is a fantastic series that really stands out among other romcom/harems for its development and use of ALL characters rather than just a select few. The ending sequence that Tsutsui-sensei chose to do was really great and I hope that future series consider doing the same, because it would make the series a lot more enjoyable in the end for everyone. Thank you Tsutsui-sensei for the great ride and I look forward to your future works.
His late father always said that a useless man should strive to be useful, so to that end, third-year high school student Nariyuki Yuiga dedicated himself to becoming a high-achieving student in his school despite his history of poor grades. In order to give his destitute family a better life, his ultimate goal is to obtain the special VIP nomination, a prestigious scholarship covering all future university tuition fees. Although Nariyuki could feasibly be a shoe-in for the nomination, he is constantly overshadowed by classmates Rizu Ogata and Fumino Furuhashi in mathematics and literature, respectively. To his delight, Nariyuki receives the nomination, but there is a catch: he has to tutor his two star classmates, who are each hopelessly mediocre at the other's subject of expertise! To make matters worse, the subjects they are horrible at are the same subjects they want to pursue for their future. As the time to submit university applications draws closer, Nariyuki must find an effective tutoring method for the girls before it is too late. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
I find a lot of enjoyment in romcom manga. It's very fun seeing all of these characters get into wacky situations, as they slowly discover the feelings that they have towards the main character. And Bokutachi wa Benkyou ga Dekinai is no different. It's an incredibly fun manga, filled with fun and enjoyment. When I first saw the story of Bokutachi wa Benkyou ga Dekinai, I thought that it would be a typical harem romcom manga, with the usual tropes and clichés. And ultimately, this manga was exactly that. It was a typical harem romcom manga, with the usual tropes and clichés. Furthermore, the story progressesquite slowly, with minimal romantic development happening throughout the manga. However, despite this criticism, the story is surprisingly fun. There's something special in seeing all of these girls not only learn about the subjects that they're studying, but also learn about romance, and the feelings they hold towards the main character, Nariyuki. In addition, a lot of my enjoyment came from seeing these characters get into crazy situations. The story never tries to diverge into something completely different, and mainly sticks to showing funny events to the reader, although this does hinder the potential for romantic development. In other words, in terms of romantic development and originality, perhaps the story isn't all that great. However, in terms of fun and enjoyment, the story is very good. To put it simply, the art is good. The character designs are decent, their facial expressions are great, the backgrounds are neat, and overall, the art complements the story and characters quite nicely. Just like the story, the characters can initially seem like typical harem characters, with each character seemingly being quite clichéd. However, as you learn more and more about these characters, you see that each of them feel very unique, with everyone having their own personality and personal character traits, which is generally something that is found to be lacking in harem manga. Each character has their own charm, and they are all very likeable. In addition, when you bring all of them together, they accompany each other perfectly. The interactions between each of them were hilarious, and it was really fun seeing them get into these unusual situations. Furthermore, a part that I really liked about this manga is that none of the female characters felt like the "main girl". Each of them had a fair amount of pages and arcs to themselves, and it really increased my enjoyment, as I really wanted to know which girl Nariyuki would choose in the end. It also allowed all the characters to be fleshed out equally, without one being brought more focus than the others. Overall, the characters were really good, and their personal charms brought together resulted in my enhanced enjoyment. Also, the romantic events between the female characters and Nariyuki were really adorable. Overall, I really enjoyed this manga. I had a fun time seeing all of these characters interactions and the crazy situations they got themselves in. Despite the various clichés and tropes that were used throughout the manga, the utilisation of these was not detrimental enough to prevent me from enjoying this manga. In conclusion, Bokutachi wa Benkyou ga Dekinai is a really good harem romcom manga. It sticks to its conventions, and presents a fun and entertaining story featuring a group of likeable characters. Whilst following the character's path in learning about romance, you'll find yourself having a really enjoyable time reading this manga filled with fun and laughter. Also, I really wanted to give my thoughts regarding the ending, but I aim to keep my reviews spoiler-free. Let's just say that I initially had mixed feelings about it, but in the end, I absolutely loved it, and thought it was an amazing way to wrap up this manga.
I watched the anime before getting into the manga. The anime was good, and the Anime original ending was ok, but then I read the manga. I loved this manga from start to finish! All routes were great. Well. Thumbelina Super computer route was weird but it was alright. Great, Great, Great read! Nariyuki was a standard romcom protag, but the girls really did well to make the series shine. The childhood bestfriend, the smart shortstack, the reserved rich girl, the upper classman and the teacher. Can't get a better set of tropes to make the series what it was! Can't wait for another story bythe author.
So to start it of. This manga was like a movie. This is how it felt to me as it seemed to be too short when i finished it. I enjoyed this one from end to finish. In short for me it was a complete 9 , in every aspect. Talking about art style it was great. I saw the characters and the environment and i loved them all. Speaking about the characters, they were diverse. Not one of them was bad, but it was clear which was the best in my opinion. It was easy to place them in a list from 1to...Well about how many find out by yourself. I found this almost in some moments making me want to cry, especially when my favorite was...and she saw... you will see what i'm talking about if you read it:)) The mc was how others are usually in this kind of stories, but here it worked well. Great chemistry between the characters, good romance, nice ecchi moments, and overall a solid light hearted action packed story. I loved how they all evolved, and reading the finale, it was clear as to how clever the author was by doing it in this way. Reading this will not give you a sense of dread, or headache, just sweet moments, some moments will make you feel somewhat depressed, but it's not at the level of other stories of this kind. I loved that i could learn something about how to interact with people, what being in love really means, and that leaving your life means making choices, that can result in great rewards or awful situations, but in the finale, that is the life you have built for yourself, by yourself, together with others. Don't try to force yourself to love or befriend someone just because the world seems to work that way. Live your life as you think is right and you will for sure make connections with others. Yes it may be harder for others, as we all are different, but that's why there are so many people on this earth. The world is a big place when you are alone, but a cramped space when you are with others. It's all about what you feel with your heart, not what your brain tells you. So life your own life, don't try to copy others, and by the end, you will have your summary which be reading it again, moments and feelings will once more reveal you the joy you felt to be alive. The brain is just a storage space, the heart is the one who process it all. And this is what this manga brought upon me reading it. It's a fine paved road if you want to walk it so don't hesitate. Now for the moment with this i finish this and i hope others will enjoy it as much as i did. Thanks for reading it, and goodbye for now. Be safe out there and farewell.
Hello everyone,this is going to be my very first review,and I'm happy that Bokuben will be my start. Ok first my analytical review: Firstly is the story:I'd give the story a 9/10,even though some people or fans might say that bokuben had a plot that was oddly similar to most school harem mangas and animes.But in my viewpoint,it wasn't as cliched as how you'd expect it to be.There were parts where I just couldn't predict what Yuiga would do,or say at a specific scenario.I don' t want to make my review too long so long story short I think that choosing to make arcs for eachroute was the best option. 8/10 for the art style,I didn't find anything different or unique that separates them from other mangas.But on each end route of each arc,the vivid and sparkle of the heroines blows them off to a good direction. 9/10 for every character on the series,especially for Yuiga.He's a character that I can proudly say that he is one of my favorites of all the mc's I've encountered so far.The heroines of bokuben,I don't have time to explain them one by one so I'll just mention my favorite,which was Fumino.She had the perfect senses to become one of the best and lovable heroines.She had to be the purest character that I have ever met before.She even sacrificed her own love,just to support her friends' love instead,and I found that very admirable but also at the same time felt really unbearable. 10/10 for the time and joy this manga gave me.I've read this at a fast pace,but at the end I made sure to take it slow and read each route,at different times. So overall I'm dignified to say that overall I could say that this manga was great!And I would definetely recommend this to everyone who is interested to read. Thanks for taking the time to read my first review.
