K-On! College

K-on! College is a manga that is often mentioned in conversations among anime fans, specifically SoL and Moeblob fans. Often comments associated with this manga are pleas for an adaptation following the success of the original show. I, myself enjoyed the original anime, I didn't love it, but I liked it. Knowing this fact, I believe I have a fairly unbiased opinion, and that opinion is; this manga is not good. The story is simple, a follow up of the events after the four older girls graduate from Highschool, where the anime left off. While this story might entertain some, I myself found it boring and lacklustre, butthat doesn't matter, not much more could be brought to the table in terms of story. The art is somewhere between average to decent, again it doesn't really matter, 4koma manga very rarely bring amazing art as part of the selling point. The characters, easily the highlight of the show, and quite frankly, the only good part of the manga. Following the same cast (excluding Azusa), most of the personalities are laid out already and don't need any more building upon. As for the new characters, they feel bland and quite frankly, were forgettable. I finished this less than 12 hours ago and I have already forgotten three of the four new-characters names. In conclusion, while I don't regret reading this manga, I could of easily done without it. Part of the problem (in my opinion) is the fact that it's 4koma manga, the jokes that work so well in the anime, pass too quickly to be properly enjoyed in 4koma/manga form. Outside of a few slight laughs, there is little enjoyment to be had for casual fans such as myself. If you praise the original show and characters like a religion, like many people do, there is no doubt you will enjoy it.

This manga is an epilogue story of the main series. Tell a story of our beloved characters going through college. Still have the same wholesome and funny moment throughout the plot. Although they're now in college, their personality didn't change at all, they still how do i say it... kinda childish. I don't hate it, but i freaking love it. Some people may be thinking that's a bad character development right there, for me its not. This is the last time we're gonna see the characters. So its gotta make an impact that will make the characters remembered for who they are. The story is verysimple, just like the main anime. Cute girls doing cute thing but the difference is that they are now in college. They meet new people with new personality and the interaction they have is also new. We rarely have a new characters in the main series. Everyone is build perfectly with their own uniqueness. So we the reader never confuse them with other girls. This part is really important because their character design looks almost the same. The manga is drawn in 4-koma style. Personally for me, i kinda dislike this kind of style. Its boring and hard to read. I need to zoom one line at a time to read. Beside that, everything is beautiful. I like the simple art style of this manga because its fit the mood. Everyone is chilling living their best life. No drama, no action, only fun moment with friends. The pace is kinda slow. But that's not a problem for me because i like to consume things slowly, either its my food or my entertainment. Every genre from comedy to CGDCT is done greatly. I get a good laugh out of it, and sometimes smiling because they're so fluffy. Not literally fluffy, but their action that is fluffy. Deep down they care for each other and it warms my heart. There's also a brief cameo for the girls that still in high school. I kinda wish they end it on Azusa getting into the same college you know. I think that's too much to ask. If they do it, i don't think i can contain the happiness. Overall, the vibe this manga radiate is almost the same as the anime. I can't judge the original manga series because i never read that. Some people says its better, other says its worse. Me, i really enjoy reading it and you should too. Taking a break from the never stopping real life problem by reading this. I will definitely read the K-On! High School too because Azusa is my best girl. Thank you for reading my review.

That was barely worth reading. You get a bunch of new characters that go nowhere. I can't even remember their names anymore. I couldn't believe it when it just ended at chapter 14. Nothing happened. I detest the criticism of slice-of-life works that 'nothing happens' in them, but here, it's true. I guess this manga confirms that the girls are continuing with their music, but it was already fairly clear. We had no reason to assume they wouldn't continue. I do like that we have this certainty now, but this thing doesn't justify itself otherwise. So that's all you're going to get from this. Thegirls are still together and practising music. They're doing okay at university. If you're a K-On! fan, maybe it'll be good enough but piss you off at the same time.
