clowdywings 's review for:
Handa-Kun, Vol. 1
by Satsuki Yoshino
Art was fabulous but the story didn’t quite make it.
This really had promise. I was super excited to read this when I picked it up from the library. One of the things I didn’t realize before I started it was the genre. This is a contemporary comedy. (And here I was thinking I stumbled onto a shojo.)
A lot of the time when the jokes were cracked or whatever, it wasn’t really funny. It was pushing the joke too far. The premise is great but the execution wasn’t.
I did enjoy the art. It’s more simplistic than the cover (another thing I didn’t realize) and leans more towards the satire manga art style.
All in all, it didn’t hit all my checkboxes, but it hit quite a few. Give it a shot!
