Who said nice guys finish last?
I shaved. Then I brought a high school girl home is a touching story exploring the themes of belonging, redemption and accepting your past. This is my first review so it might be a little 'chotto yabai'.

Story 8/10
I shaved. Then I brought a high school girl home's story is about a high school's girl coming of age and how she learns to love herself. Through the relationship's by fate she encounters she is able to persevere and face her past which I am ambitiously waiting for. I love the way the manga is able to incorporate and ... good balance between wholesome moments and the serious and taboo topics of Sayu's past

Art 7/10
Nothing too special just pretty standardly good, girls look cute

Character 9/10
Imagine if Jesus was bored and decided to reincarnate into a human in japan. Jesus-kun? not quite, Yoshida is his name. He is just the typical Japanese office worker but he's also a lot more than that. "There isn't a single person alive who'd do something with no advantages and only disadvantages". when Yoshida is asked this he does not know why he does go to the lengths he does. But it obvious from my perspective, he does not do it for any reward, he does it simply out of the bottom of his heart. He is a nice guy.

Sayu is a runaway girl, who carries a lot of emotional baggage, emphasising a lot. Though nothing has been revealed her past, it is clear that she will have to face it at one point. I hope to see more of her origins (ambitiously waiting). It is endearing to see her finally see some self worth as her relationships grow and new ones sprout. Even with her past traumas Sayu is a normal high school girl at heart who has the same ambitions as normal girls do,

Enjoyment 10/10
I definetely enjoyed the manga because of the many wholesome moments it contains while also having enjoyed the more mature themes of the story. I would not recomeend this manga for anyone does not enjoy. Similar manga to this would be rent a girlfriend (a bit less on the more mature subjects),
