He does not have any friends.

This review is heavily based on personal opinion and is heavily biased because of the human nature, feel free to agree or disagree. Story: 9/10 The core of Yugami-kun ni wa Tomodachi ga Inai is that it's a character-driven Slice of Life manga and honestly.. it's kind of weird, I say that because I haven't seen anything quite like this before and the author did a great job of writing the story and ending it in a really satisfying way that probably won't work in any other Slice of Life stories. Art: 7.5/10 The art is good, It's definitely not in the same level as Boichi and YusukeMurata's breathtaking details or Ishida Sui's really artistic art style, but the author definitely knows what they are doing. So far after my 2nd reread, I haven't noticed any mistake in terms of perspective, anatomy, etc etc. It also helps that it doesn't fall into the "generic-looking" folder in my brain, so it gets an extra half point. Character: 10/10 As I said before, this is the core of Yugami-kun ni wa Tomodachi ga Inai, character writing. Every single character, the interaction between them, and how they reacts to events happening in the manga are well-thought out and good, probably too well-thought out in fact for just a Slice of Life manga. Enjoyment: 10/10 I love this manga, I really do. Seeing Yugami's relationships with other characters grow, Chihiro's journey on making friends, Kadota (and pretty much anyone that's involved with Yugami in some way)'s reaction to whatever Yugami is doing, and the most enjoyable of all, Yugami's relationship with Chihiro. I have both laughed and and had my heart broken just because of how immersed I am and how much I enjoy this manga. Overall: 10/10 Yugami-kun ni wa Tomodachi ga Inai is a hidden gem that's hidden within the many titles of Slice of Life manga or just stories in general. Anyone that wants well-written character that is just about people's normal, everyday life should definitely try this one out. Reading this has been a journey, and even though I'm a really forgetful person, when I remember this manga, I will definitely.. cherish it.

A second-year transfer student, Watanuki Chihiro struggles to make friends but eventually finds connections to her classmates through her seat neighbor, Yugami Yuuji. With an atypical yet likeable cast of characters this manga captures the fleeting memories of high school life and subverts the norm of the slice-of-life genre. A true slice-of-life to the core with a touch of sports and subtle suggestions at romance, this series was relaxing to read and brightened my day. I'm thankful that the manga was motivated to progress at a moderate pace and not overstuffed with filler chapters and moreover that the manga was allowed to come to anatural conclusion. Even in the most trivial of moments, I felt like there was a clear intention behind every panel. If you're looking for a romantic, rose-colored life I don't think that this series is for you, however, I do think that this manga is very realistic and relatable and there's a romance in that. tl:dr I highly recommend this series.

Disclaimer: I'm gonna start reviewing manga from now on. This is my first PROPER review in English, it may be bad, but I want to learn reviewing from now on. Yuuji Yugami, that weird geniuses from your class. He looks boring and weird, but turns out he's an interesting one. STORY 8/10: The story is basically your usual slice of life high school manga. But what made this manga different, is the character interaction. But I will write my opinion on the character on the character rating. Oh, and if you're here just for the "Romance", just don't. I've friends that read this for the romanceand he's disappointed (but for me, their romance is satisfying enough). Anyway, just like another slice of life manga, the story is just random daily life on the point of view of our main character, Chihiro, the transfer student. The time is progressing as the chapter, so it's not stagnating on one time only. ART 9/10: I love it. It's simple, beautiful, and cute. Befitting of slice of life genre. Of course you won't find something like Murata's OPM here, it doesn't suit slice of life genre anyway (and he's just a league on his own, too). It just fit nicely there. I like how the expression fleshes out too. CHARACTER 10/10: Oh, damn. This is why I love this manga. The character writing is just outstanding. It feels human. Every character interaction is very good, and they've their own unique personality too. The characters relationship develops as the manga progresses, and the development also doesn't feel too "positives" neither too "negatives". It just perfect. ENJOYMENT 9/10: I really like this manga, I finished the whole 16 volumes only for a week. Seeing how Yuuji and Chihiro relationship is really fun and entertaining. And Chihiro personality also resonate with me tbh. There are sometime annoying cliche like that "relationship misunderstanding" thanks to Kadota, but it's his own fault for not being frank to Yugami but it's still fun. OVERALL 9/10: "Yugami-kun ni wa Tomodachi ga Inai" is a hidden gem, I even didn't know this manga exist before someone opens a thread on Reddit. Thanks to him I got to read this wholesome manga. Reading this is really fun. I recommended it.

I enjoy this manga; it is undoubtedly a slice-of-life school manga. The solitary protagonist lives through the mundane school life, with a dash of comedy and the author's reflections serving as seasoning. The protagonist is a loner, and those similar to him will likely find much to resonate with. For those troubled by interpersonal relationships, as depicted in the manga, they may find some inspiration from the protagonist. In today's era, people generally prefer works with explosive moments or twisted plots. When I was reading this manga, I realized that I unconsciously expected some dramatic developments, like the protagonist achieving significant accomplishments or falling in love.However, I overlooked the fact that even in ordinary life, there are many beauties hidden within. Life is never short of beauty; what's missing is only the eyes to see it and the heart to feel it. From the ending, the author's depiction of interpersonal relationships is quite restrained, just as the characters in the manga maintain a proper distance from each other. There's a line from the protagonist's graduation speech that I think is very well said, and I'll use it to conclude: "You don't need 100 friends! If you are going to be led by the nose, it is better to have none! Please learn to cherish yourself first. Otherwise, you cannot cherish others. Being yourself means to be your own greatest ally."
