Most of us have been through highschool. But our lives definitely weren't as funny as they are illustrated in this manga.

Daily Lives of Highschool Boys is an outstanding gag manga, and so, one of my favourite comedies written to date. It had me furiously laughing whenever I had a read. The concept is a very simple one. It just illustrates daily lives of highschool students in a silly yet funny manner. The manga takes situations that every highschooler at some point in their life might have encountered, exaggerates them a little, and turns it into a gag, which most of the times is nothing short ... of ridiculously hilarious.

There was not a single chapter I didn't enjoy. Each chapter is a little skit of about 8 pages. The length of each chapter is absolutely perfect in my opinion, and the format is preferable as well. You read 8 pages, you laugh it off and the end. This manga is by no means comparable to other comedies like Gintama or SKET Dance, but I do not mean this in a bad way. I'm saying this because Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou is in a league of its own. It nails the "Highschool Comedy" genre to the core.

The characters are, of course, the center of all the comedy. There are a variety of characters, but no real main character. There's everyone from a pervert guy to a romanticist girl to an extremely serious guy to a perfectly average guy and so on. You get the idea, it's a fairly unorthodox cast. While some characters may not get as much 'screen time' as others, they're sure to entertain you in whatever little time they get.

It may not be every reader's cup of tea in terms of its humour, but if you're a fan of good comedy, you might want to give this a second thought.

That said, I really hope that the manga gets continued in the coming years. I am sure to miss it when I'm done with it.

Story:

I don't really know what to say about the story... is there one? Kind of? There are at some parts and in some chapters, but most is just going about, well, the daily lives of highschool boys. There really isn't that much to say about it otherwise. A chapter follows a plot and it follows through nicely, but when these span over several chapters, they are a lot more amusing and engaging.

Art:

Yasunobu Yamauchi is an amazing mangaka, and he actually dulled down with this series, on purpose mind you. He liked the idea of making a simpler design that would better represent and display the ... simple lives of the average teenager in high school.

Character:

Hidenori Tabata - Hidenori is the main person in the manga to end up in crazy/unusual situations that usually end up being the best chapters as a whole.
Tadakuni - It is usually his house where the main trio like to hang out, much to his bemusement. He has a part-time job at a pizza restaurant and has a younger sister who is quick to violence against anyone who crosses her badly in any way whatsoever.
Yoshitake Tanaka - Yoshitake is kind of a middle man to form the group together better. He is a good friend and is outgoing, usually the goofball of the trio and goes with all of Hidenori's antics.
