Seven delightful short stories that are tied by a few idiosyncratic characters. The title of this manga is truth in advertising because the people depicted in these anecdotes are incredibly captivating. Despite knowing so little about them, I couldn't help but just be amused by how distinctive they are. It is odd to think that the most typical setting in manga, middle/high school, is the stage for such refreshing writing. There is a certain Salinger-esque charm to how the stories are told and how intriguing the characters are. To make things better, the more realistic style of the drawings together with the black and white ... watercolor tones result in something that is beautiful and quite unique.

A quick and enjoyable read about interesting characters in loosely connected stories. I usually pick my manga entirely on art style and just like the title, it was captivating to look at. Even though it came out in 2019 it still has this older vibe to it which I really enjoy.

The one thing I don't like about this manga is that it ended. The manga is sort of split between two narratives. The first about a boy and his strange, but helpful interactions with his peers. The second has more of a plot with a guy who discovers his classmate isn't as he seems. ... Both are entertaining and interesting to read. I think the manga benefits from the fact that it formats itself as short vignettes in a similar setting with familiar characters.

I implore you to try out this story as it has great art and an interesting narrative. It's only one volume so it's not like it will take up that much shelf space.

Story 8/10:
It just follows the life -more like situations in the life- of a certain weird highschool boy and his interactions with his classmates. The chapters aren't really connected, but the setting is mostly his highschool.

Characters 9/10:
The characters are all interesting and feel genuine. They have unique looks and personality for a 7 chapters manga.

Art 10/10:
The art is one of the most unique styles I've ever seen in a manga, it's 80~90ish with a more realistic touch. I couldn't believe this was a 2019. It's LOVELY

Enjoyment 10/10:
... I JUST LOVE IT
The weird cutesy of these high school boys is on another level🤭💜 It felt like I was there with them! It doesn't try to be funny, yet it's so funny, wholesome and unpredictable.
I'm probably gonna reread this ALOT.
I totally recommend this, whatever your taste in mangas is, you will at the very least like this, if not love it!
