*(My 20th century boys review for context)Perhaps the most over-rated manga ever.

It may be Gigguk's favourite manga, but this manga is *extremely* over-rated. Despite having good characters that are properly characterised and play off each other well, the manga fails to support the plot with a paper-thin mystery that should have only lasted 100 chapters. It's a hodgepodge of many ideas that don't support each other and the resolutions of plot points are really boring. Which, is exactly what this manga is, boring. The art is decent and certain scenes look great, the actual story is so random and bad that I really cannot recommend this manga to anyone. It's a shame this manga is heralded as a "rite of passage" to be a "proper manga fan", because this is such elementary writing. And the entirety of the mystery plots are a joke. It's like, 10 different genres stuffed into a single story and it just doesn't work. Period. Trying to be so many things at once is a detriment.

I'd say 3-4 out of 10, but the admittedly novel, albeit failed, approach and some scenes jump it to a 5/10.*
(My review for 21st century boys)
This was a pointless sequel.
Why this couldn't have been part of the original manga is beyond me, particularly because the story did not end in the last manga. It's really odd. It's like watching a movie, the movie ends, then having to take out the DVD and put another entirely separate DVD just to watch the ending.
Alas, onto the manga itself.

This was the most disappointing ending to a manga I have ever read. Two weeks of reading, and many years when it was releases, for a horrible conclusion that answers nothing, with nothing set-up or paid off, with the usual 20th CB nonsense. Once again, I'm baffled that this manga is rated so highly. But I appreciate the fact that people are able to enjoy things I don't, and vice-versa.

UPDATED REVIEW:

Are you unironically defending Kazuya from Rent a girlfriend?

Thank you, Mr. Wifebeater.

I really only said that cuz I've been late on this manga for a while so it's nice to be early for once.

I'm the first comment.

It's true that I read it weekly, but there's been times I couldn't be bothered to read it so I let it build up 5-8 chapters at a time. One time I even stopped for like, 50 whole chapters.

I always read stuff in a binge, but I think this author's style isn't my cup of tea. I'm pretty much only here because of sunk cost fallacy. I can't believe I used to recommend this manga to people back in the day.

It's like Komi-san, I have no idea why people like it. Sure there's good parts in both, but each of these manga are filler dressed up with some very minor central plotline. This manga is more plot focused though, but everything outside of the immortal/history stuff is paper thin. There's no character development, no drama, no action, nothing. I'm not a fan of stuff like that, unless I know going in. Like with "Daily lives of highschool boys", that's hilarious, but nothing actually happens.

In that order?

So he did eat it?


Man I'm confused, Fujimoto is great and his action is top tier crazy, but sometimes it's hard to make out what's going on.


Also this part has a different style than part 1, which a lot of people dislike. But the build-up is great, even if it is slow.

she calls a pervert simp incel "master".

This manga is hilarious and cute!

A hidden gem!!!!

It's Hajime No Ippo.

It's Hajime No eyes referees.

The author is beyond stupid anyway, I don't really think we should be concerned about the "story" anymore, since we all just skim the chapter anyway.

All I remember is that she's not been a part of the plot for a while, so she's most likely been dropped until she's convenient for Kazuya to rebound to after Chizuru rejects him.

Before the paradise arc, Kazuya literally dumped her.

She literally didn't accept it.
