B Gata H Kei is such a classic comedy series to go back to. At the end of the day it really is just a big exploration through youthful romance and the feelings behind actually wanting sex. I would complain it being a 300 chapter series where they just can't do it but I think the slowburn nature of it is remedied by the fact there is clear progress and clear effort to do more in their relationship.

Spoilers ahead but, the fact both of them try and fail to figure out what they want is great and I wasn't bothered much by it since they ... are pushing themselves. My favorite part of the progression was in the middle where they were close to doing it but kosuda couldn't be erect. Its a really natural way for the physical progression to stop and just let the characters think about their own emotions on the matter. Near the end where they actually do have sex is also great, yamada gets her own illusions broken about her expectations and can also seriously discuss the topic with her friend for once without sounding like a kid idolizing sex. I actually wanted the series to continue a little bit further so that they could explore their physical relationship more cause yamada hasn't quite figured out why her experience wasn't enjoyable for her but it does end on a good note.

B Gata H Kei is an overall fun, slow burn read about the young desire to have sex.

I just write reviews to say what I think..
Trying to express my love for a thing that I love.
This story from the start until the end remained the same thing. With that I want to say that it never "tried to do something extra".
That is a compliment.
Perhaps wrongly put though, I just mean that this story is very well designed/thougth out/put together. I never thought "What's this now supposed to be?". Nothing ever felt out of place.
Once I got used to how this story is told, there was no adittional ... getting used to to be done because of how the story is told.
The ending, a very important part of my conclusion above, is surprisingly good..
Now as I'm giving it more thought, I'm thinking how the ending of the story is the beginning of its best part.
I wish this would have a sequel, like for example such as what Tokyo Ghoul:Re is for Tokyo Ghoul..
Reading through this, I was completely connected with the story since its beginning.
How Yamada and Kosuda think and how they generally are is 100% relatable for me. The majority of the thoughts, the mindset and the ways of thinking by them are spot on on how real life was for me when I'd been of their age.
Finishing the story made me sad, and brought tears to my eyes because of how satisfied I was(and sad I am, because my observation of their universe has ended...).
This is one wholesome story for me, and it is so good that I feel as if it's ended at the part from which the story would otherwise reach greater height.
That not being the case is also a major part of my first drawn conclusion, how the story never goes beyond what it defines itself from the start.

"lol they're going to bang lol they didn't haha lmao" isn't funny for 200 chapters. It's grating.

It's like babysitting a toddler. Sure, at first it's all cutesy and laughs, but then it shits itself and starts wailing and the only reason you're taking care of it is because you're getting paid or it's a friends' kid.

No one was paying me to read this, nor is it my friends' kid. So I stopped.

Read it or don't, doesn't matter to me. In my opinion, There's plenty better comedy 4-koma out there. Try Seitokai Yakuindomo, That's funny and also is just sex jokes.
