I Belong To The Baddest Girl At School

This is my first review so it'll be short and concise. This manga is one you can definitely enjoy the first half and with good parts throughout the second half. The story IMO was spread out but also too condensed. I felt the author wanted to try and get a long enough series as they could but realized after Chapter 50 they needed to wrap things up. This does seem to be a trend in Rom-coms and I feel it would be better to already have solid pre-existing couples or to just have friends that don't have to form a romantic relationship. It felt theyjust needed to pair everyone off by the end of the series. The art wasn't the most amazing but it's not something to deter someone from reading and actually had some good parts. The characters were fine, the MC never really grew too much except in the romance department which is fine. Others complain how weak he stayed but that's just how some people are, he didn't need to become some ripped or super handsome guy. The side characters were hit and miss. The busty girl (sorry I forgot names) and the younger brother were great wingmen. The other friend was mostly annoying and made the series go on for longer since she kept interrupting. The toxic girl was written poorly since she was mostly used to move forward the romance the simplest way without stretching things out even further. The FMC's mom was very rushed, wish she was added earlier because she could've been a more fun character especially if there was more interactions between the mom and the MC. MC's mom was fine ;), and the younger sister felt like, "oh yeah i mentioned the younger sister better add her before I forget again". Overall I recommend to Rom-com enjoyers to read at least once because it is a quick read and you should get a few grins and laughs while reading but I wouldn't put it on the top of your list.

I gotta be honest: I found Pashiri just yesterday while scrolling through the comment section of Mangakakalot. I took a look and was pleasantly surprised by what I discovered. Story-wise it had me entertained. The first several chapters did not allow me to put the book down at all. The gags and misunderstandings also landed well with me. The hook of the story was the concept; the guy (Unoki) thinks he is being bullied as an errand boy, while the girl (“Banchou” or a leader of a delinquent group) actually thinks that they’re dating. That premise leads the way to many funny interactions and misunderstandingswhich makes it a fun read. What I appreciate a lot about the manga is really the characters. Despite everyone having the situational awareness of a potato, their chemistry is just fun to watch, especially the two main characters Banchou and Unoki. The soft small moments when they show affection (despite completely missing the subtext) or moments when they grow to trust each other makes me smack my bed several times as I read through. Yes, it was 3AM. Yes, I had school. No, I don’t have any regrets. Even the supporting cast was a thrill. Like the two girls. I don’t wanna spoil their relationship too much but it’s pretty kawaii desu. The main problem of the manga to me was the final stretch. Most of the arcs nearing the end felt rushed and wasn’t given any time to breathe, which made me slightly annoyed with the MC or slightly sad that certain things are being fleshed out long enough. And also, to what brought me to the series in the first place, the art is gorgeous and I would kill for every blush and pout drawn in that manga. This might’ve not been the most coherent review but I hope this piques your interest enough to give the manga a read.

Real shock that this manga ended literally yesterday, however, a lot can be said about it and it's not that bad in my eyes. In the same sense that tonikaku kawaii is a fun loving, super wholesome, ridiculous premise manga, Pashiri na Boku to Koisuru Banchou-San is the same. It follows the life of a delinquent and her believed boyfriend who in actuality is someone who is scared beyond belief of her. I say in the same sense because it definitely is nowhere near as extravagant and does have some of the drama elements that tonikaku tended to avoid. I think the manga in general was areally good read, however, nothing groud-breaking or this story exclusive was shown. The story is mediocre at best and the characters really make this story what it is. Towards the end it seems they subvert the whole parents not agreeing with the relationship troupe out the window but it feels half-heartened. As if instead of actually wanting to push the doting parent narrative it wants to end the manga soon and it really doesn't help that it happened 3 chapters before it ended. Anyways, its fun, go read it.
