Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan, volume 1 is a manga about the depressing cast of an educational children's television show. They all hate their jobs, but do their best to push through the adulty tears and teach some kids! :-P It was a bit more cringy than I thought it would be, however, its sort of sarcastic and dark humour did come off pretty funny at times. Neither excellent or awful, I'd say pick up this unique story about the tragedy of career choices if it sounds interesting to you.

I picked it up cause I saw the funny clips from the anime on YouTube. So maybe I didn't find it so funny cause it was jokes I'd already seen. Some of the jokes are also Japanese puns, so that might explain why they don't translate well.
But it was still interesting and I'm planning on picking up the next one.

*Maybe more of a 2.5?*
This wasn't as funny as I had hoped. I did chuckle a few times, but idk. Maybe this type of story just isn't for me. I'm hoping watching the show will be better for me. I like the art a lot and I do like the cast of characters. I want to continue, but I'm not invested in any sort of story. I mean there's no real plot it really just feels like episodes of a show. And if it made me laugh more I would've been okay with that, but so far it's not really doing much for me.
