B-Shock is a surprisingly funny -and silly- romantic comedy. Arata is your regular college student who as many of his classmates admires Hatsune, a beautiful girl who is also a student in his university. Things take a strange turn when a lunatic scientist decides that Arata and Hatsune are perfect subjects for his new experiment: B-Shock, a sort of watch that forces them to be apart only for a few cm or risk to blow in pieces.
Of course, the path for Arata and Hatsune, who hadn't really met before, is quite difficult. They are forced to share a place to live and be together all

You're not getting more than an average romantic comedy with this one. The plot is fairly straightforward and predictable and the characters pretty one-dimensional. Also, the artwork isn't horrible, but it isn't great either; strictly average at best.
Even with all this though, when all was said and done I still had fun with it. The simpleness of everything really means you can cruise through this without overloading your brain, and although the end comes quick, it's still fairly satisfying and gives a decent close to the series.

B-shock is a romantic comedy manga about 2 college students, who meet a nutty Professor, and are suddenly forced to be extremely close to one another or else the watches on their wrist, courtesy of the Professor, will blow up, if they exceed the maximum amount of distance from each other.
As a comedy manga, it's good. Every day, due to their situation, they have to go through unique and funny situations. They have to go to the bathroom with one another, make the most ridiculous excuses as to why they can't be separated, and try to avoid scenarios that will keep them apart. Sometimes, ...

When I first looked up B-Shock It said it had a rushed/axed ending. I was skeptical because most rushed ending tend to bomb the ending.
The story is focus on 2 people placed in an unorthodox predicament and force to live together. The Character focus is placed on both side however, being seinen, it is primarily focus on the male of the story. Normally you would think it would be very pervy or "borderline H". It's surprisingly not. It's simply a comedy of how two people who would not normally give each other the time of day realize they have feeling for each other. Story - Different ...

Nakano’s B-Shock, on the other hand, is an entirely different proposition. It’s on the whole more outlandish, more ridiculous, a high concept series. It’s about two engineering students who, thanks to their mad professor, get bombs stuck to their wrists that don’t allow them to be more than 10m apart. In essence, it’s a series where two unlikely people are forced to be together at all times. It’s also a romantic comedy.
Part of the fun of the series is seeing the realistic response to the situation. The characters begin to ask themselves: what happens if I have to use the restroom? How do I keep ...

It's such a bad story that I recommend everyone to not read this story at all.
I mean what the hell with the story there is no explanation that why did professor used b-shock on both of them and also it seems like the writer doesn't even know how to write a decent story. It feels like he just decided to end the story one day and then he ended it in next chapter. And the couple in this story do not have any scene which can be described as romantic. Also the lie that her friend make was not even cleared and what happens to them is also ... |
