[spoiler free]

Asshou is a slice of life college manga with some wish fulfillment romance aspects and a good moral. The chapters are pretty short (+quick to read) and it gets good after chapter 25.

{SPOILERS}

This entry looks like the first work of the mangaka and asshou reflects this. It starts as some boring otaku bait wish fulfillment trash and then switches the route of the story. This can be inferred by the way the characters change suddenly. Chapters 1-4 4-9 and 10 onward seem to be leading different directions and the story decisively changes to become more entertaining. The story turns from "otaku ... hangs out with busty (virgin) otaku girl???" to a relationship drama into a conspiracy mystery plot about serial murders/suicide AIDS. The story starts to shift frequently between characters and works on establishing and developing the motives of all the characters. The subversion of what had clearly originally been intended is very well appreciated and the development of the plot into a investigative mystery is pulled off extremely well, despite the fast movement of the plot, the story still seems grounded, the characters are likable and for the sake of their relationships you care about them.


( SCORES )
Art - 7 professional, clean, pretty standard but not soulless

Story/ characters - 6 Shallow but likable and entertaining

Enjoyment - 9

If you like trashy manga like tomodachi game or the good arc from dead tube you'll probably enjoy this.

No spoilers. Read until chapter 25.

What if someone tries to make a history about twisted people? Well... If you do the right way, it will become something like Scum's Wish. If you do the bad way, will end up on Asshou.
Starts seeming like a generic romcom, brings you some kind of interessing thing about the female protagonist and just crumble really, really fast.
Every single person seems to be REALLY bad. Not bad like Scum's Wish with a woman wanting to take any man just to play with, no, bad like rape.
Nothing brings any consequence and this shit will almost certainly become some magical bullshit.
I dont ... recommend this to anyone. If you like complicated themes and things, goes to Scum's Wish, maybe Boy's Abyss or whatever. Here you will only find bad writting, bad characters and a huge shit vibe.
