I gotta be honest: I found Pashiri just yesterday while scrolling through the comment section of Mangakakalot. I took a look and was pleasantly surprised by what I discovered.
Story-wise it had me entertained. The first several chapters did not allow me to put the book down at all. The gags and misunderstandings also landed well with me. The hook of the story was the concept; the guy (Unoki) thinks he is being bullied as an errand boy, while the girl (“Banchou” or a leader of a delinquent group) actually thinks that they’re dating. That premise leads the way to many funny interactions and misunderstandings
...
which makes it a fun read.
What I appreciate a lot about the manga is really the characters. Despite everyone having the situational awareness of a potato, their chemistry is just fun to watch, especially the two main characters Banchou and Unoki. The soft small moments when they show affection (despite completely missing the subtext) or moments when they grow to trust each other makes me smack my bed several times as I read through. Yes, it was 3AM. Yes, I had school. No, I don’t have any regrets.
Even the supporting cast was a thrill. Like the two girls. I don’t wanna spoil their relationship too much but it’s pretty kawaii desu.
The main problem of the manga to me was the final stretch. Most of the arcs nearing the end felt rushed and wasn’t given any time to breathe, which made me slightly annoyed with the MC or slightly sad that certain things are being fleshed out long enough.
And also, to what brought me to the series in the first place, the art is gorgeous and I would kill for every blush and pout drawn in that manga.
This might’ve not been the most coherent review but I hope this piques your interest enough to give the manga a read.
