Back to ihavetomakeanacc's Profile ihavetomakeanacc's Profile

Just to give some context, I only just recently came back at around chapter 50 to finish up the rest of the story.

This isn't meant to be a serious review, but more just me venting the gripes I had with certain subplots found in this manga.

In general, I thought that the author tackled the whole age gap thing quite well, but that's not what I'm here for.

I was absolutely thrown into disbelief when I read how the author slaughtered a certain side character's confession.

Rejection.

... An absolute tragedy.

The salting of Carthage doesn't even come close to represent the same level of devastation that occurred in that chapter.

How could they butcher this character's heart felt feelings?

I was hooked.

I wanted to see how this played out.

Turns out it was just a segue into the "man this sucks, time to move on" theme they had going on in the few chapters after.

I'm not criticizing the message here as I thought the execution was well done, but I found it underwhelming with the amount of development that was given to the closure to this subplot and how the author never shared the insights of the rejector after the confession.

Oh and there was another subplot about a guy and his sister, maybe he wanted to bang or something.

I guess that got tied up with the guy getting upset with being blue-balled and getting punched in the face by being a cheeky cunt for making a comment about the confession above.

If you're somehow still reading this, Koi wa Ameagari no You ni is a lovely read, but suffers a bit from the lack of development into its side characters and subplots.

It's weird coming back to this series years after watching the cringe riddled anime series, only to be pleasantly surprised about the slice of life direction the manga has taken in the latter half of it.

I think it's a testament to how much character development was given to Tomoko, and how it completely contradicts the title of the series, as Tomoko manages to make a harem of female friends and thus a whole bunch of fluff and yuri undertones.

If you liked Watamote purely for the cringe value of it, then you probably won't wanna stick around after around chapter 50.

I enjoyed reading it, it has ... a whole bunch of humorous moments and it's pretty wholesome, and most importantly those YURI UNDERTONES.

Shout out to the big onee-san

--Some minor spoilers included--

Honestly, this manga was wild ride from start to finish, and even more so during the last couple of chapters.

Story(?):

The first half of this story is your typical revenge story, and then the other half is you wondering if you're still reading the same manga.

You know the story is akin to taking a nice summer walk to the super market to get some fresh long pig from your cute sister who happens to work there, until the food suppliers there break your knees caps and set the entire place on fire.

Okay, not the best way to start the day because you're ... still on fire and traumatized from that whole ordeal, so you gotta go complain to the chaps who inconvenienced you.

And from there it pretty much escalates to the point where you're tripping balls and can't tell the difference from a potato to a severed hand, let alone deal with the conundrums of the universe.

To put simply, I think the story progresses fine in it's early chapters in introducing the world the story is set in, but it's later chapters end up being confusing, with everything prior being thrown out the window. It's definitely a weird manga to read, so it's understandable if you decide to drop it.

Just don't expect some really god-tier form of writing from the plot.

I still found it enjoyable nonetheless, although your experience may vary, but at least give it a shot.
