Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto

I want to say that this manga is a perfect 10 with no flaws much like Sakamoto himself but unlike the titular character, it falls just a bit short in every way. Art: Volumes covers can be quite deceiving as volume covers show in this case. While it's not terrible, it's hardly good either. There's bad perspective all over the place, the variety in faces is rather minimal when not exaggerated for comedy and facial expressions come from a very limited when not specifically exaggerated. As this a comedy manga I think some of this can be discounted since at times bad art can onlymake things funnier. However rigid expressions sometimes do the opposite. What I'll not though is that it doesn't shy away from some difficult poses which alongside perspective is a difficult thing to draw right. Aside from that nothing special, backgrounds are about average so not much to say about the. Story: comedy of Sakamoto is as stated in the synopsis. He's just too good! You might already think "oh, another one joke comedy, how original" to which I'd say be sour somewhere else. While yes, the punchline is always that Sakomoto is perfect at absolutely everything, it's the situations in which he excels that makes it funny. Have you ever seen a grade schooler rent adult video while hiding his real age with Bond level calculation and agility? How about hiding from lovestruck housewife by pretending to be transported inside a tv? I doubt it and Sakamoto is all about this. Excelling at mundane to unusual tasks in unexpected and hilarious ways. I say hilarious but your mileage might wary as with any comedy manga and since Sakamoto doesn't offer anything but gags it will very much decide how much you'll like it. Personally, while this manga offers a constant barrage of comedy, only a part of it resonated with and made me laugh while everything else usually just fell flat. Fun factor: being only 4 volumes long and therefore not taking much more than 3 hours to read I think it's a very worthwhile read. Check first few chapters if you like the humor and if do, I'm sure you'll enjoy the rest of it.
