So I'm a huge fan of the original Ganbare Nakamura manga, it's one of my favorites, in fact, so needless to say, I was super hyped when I saw there was a sequel. Naturally, a scanlation come around, and I read it up until the 9th chapter, where it abruptly ends. I thought this was some kind of mistake on the translators part, theres no way that was it, right? I was in huge denial until the official english version came out, and yeah, that was it.
My problems with this sequel isn't that it's not funny or lacks the charm of the original, but that

I was originally excited for this sequel because of all the possibilities where the main pair's relationship could go. After reading it though, I was left with disappointment. Simply, the main pair's relationship doesn't go anywhere from where the prequel left it off. This sequel feels unnecessary and Nakamura somehow feels even more of an outsider to the love interest, Hirose's life than he was in the prequel as this book barely offers the main pair genuine moments of connection between them.
There are so many points in this book that just fail me to root for Nakamura and say “go for it, Nakamura!” because he ... Aug 15, 2021
I find the story itself to be really cute, i wonder how long they will take to actually get together. If you have read the prequel , you are going to like this series as much as the prequel.
I would also like to mention , the cover art for the series is sooo sick. It makes me feel nostalgic for a time i was never alive in. This is weird that this series is soo obscure , given that its s direct continuation of a decently popular manga. The story is a direct continuation of Ganbare! Nakamura-kun. And its Actually baffling to why this is ... Jan 8, 2022
Story: 6 | Story is simple, a closeted gay who wants to confess to his crush one day, and the manga revolves around that premise along with some enjoyable side-stories. Since it's short, not much has happened since it's prequel. When it comes to romance, I prefer progress so points taken off here.
Art: 7 | I like the art, reminds me of old manga, no complaints here. Character: 6 | There are no notable characters in the story imo, they're generic but good enough. I only remember Nakamura and Hirose, and that weird teacher that Hirose kept hanging out with. I don't like how the mangaka ... Mar 16, 2024
More of the same, kind of does not go anywhere, but not bad at all! I still highly recommend it for everyone!
"Motto Ganbare! Nakamura-kun!!" does not disappoint, but also does not give the "ending" we expect. It is still the same: a funny, comfy and interesting BL love story. There are new characters that are as interesting as the others, but they are just... there, you know. I loved the first part, and this, as much as it did not give us much of an ending for their relationship, it kept the idea and vibe of the story. Now the problem is that, indeed, it does not ... |
