Yancha Gal no Anjou-san

Boy this one is real good.

So essentially I've been on a streak of "affectionately aggressive girl pursues dense boring guy" type mangas (Sono Bisque Doll, Akutsu-san) and it's got a pretty simple formula that they all follow. I'm just a sucker for this sort of thing so I've been enjoying them all quite a bit.

I picked this one up recently, thinking it would be more of the same. It really outshines the rest though in my opinion. I found myself becoming overwhelmed with emotion multiple times on multiple arcs. The premise of these stories is always a bit far-fetched, but this one does a real good job of outlining the characters and making you believe what they're saying about each other. These characters have moments of conflict and struggles that are relatable for almost anyone out there. Both characters grow, albeit at an very slow pace, in a way that's believable and encouraging. It leaves you with a sense of anticipation that you can be confident will pay off soon. Both have admirable traits, as well as things that will frustrate you about them. These traits are what really allow you to see yourself in them and fall in love with them.

I led with what I think is the strongest part of this manga because I really want to encourage others to pick this one up. I haven't even touched on the art, which is incredibly well done and in a style that is somewhat unique. I appreciate how the mangaka was able to his characters beautifully without having to rely on much fanservice stuff.

Essentially this has become my most anticipated romance manga at the moment. I really encourage others to give this one a try.

The long story short is that this manga (so far) probably shouldn't be read for the plot.

The art is nice and eroge, the chapter per chapter story is usually pretty formulaic, a few side characters actually have some interesting development, but the main two are completely surface level stand in's for the reader which does not make for compelling story. Honestly, if they had at least one or two chapters that broke the main characters formula every now and then, this would be one of my favorite eroge manga, and there does seem to be small moments where it could use expectations to it's advantage, but 42 chapters in, and there's only been the most miniscule glimpse of that happening. There is a b storyline with side characters however that actually seems to have an idea it's exploring, and when put on the background of the main 2 sexually charged and repressed characters, it shines so brightly, and it's done in only a few chapters.

This formula is the same every time.
protag:"Hi obvious love interest, x, y, or z is happening" love interest:*does something vaguely or deliberately sexual or even just physical to protag* protag:"WOAAAaAAAaaAHHHH!!! LOVE INTEREST!? WHAT ARE YOU DOOOIIIIINNNG?!?" love interest:"we should be a couple.............. jk :P" protag:"gorsh, stop messing with me, I know I suck"

There's not even really any background or motivation for these two to act the way they do. I mean, sure, the art is cute, but the speech bubbles practically have no point. I could not read them, write what they're basically saying down, then read them and have at least 80% accuracy. But the author has shown that they can do a good character driven story in this very manga, so I'm holding out in case that this will play out with some kind, any kind, just a sign of character development, but I'm not so hopeful.

If that's what you're looking for too, go read or watch 3d girl, it's basically this premise, but characters have depth.

Hands down, reading this makes me feel that I am the one being teased. There are so many “sexually suggestive dialogues” and “seductive cleavages”… SOS!!! I don’t think I can hold my pants any longer… (Jk ;D )


*Minor Spoiler:
Story: 9
This is a normal school romance, but it is not a forever highschool romance as the time [amazingly!!] moves. We can see that small details metioned in certain chapters are giving hints about potential future plots. Thus, this deserve a good score; moreover, I will give the author some extra points for creating those innovative erotic scenes [not sex!!no sex!!!sorry for you disappointment :P ]…

Art: 10
Omg, the illustrations of Anjou, the female MC, are too much for a man to handle... I can feel the "fuego" on the lower half of my body whenever I read. The expressions of Seto, and Anjou are on point as well. The background is very detailed!

Character: 9
I love the gentleman setup for Seto, as it provides the pure love+cheesy vibe for this manga. Anjou, on the other hand, will set up sexually arousing attacks [as if we don't know that she likes Seto already...] toward Seto or the readers [ ¯_(ツ)_/¯ ] whenever she wants until … forever…


Enjoyment: 10
Binged read 36 chapter immediately, will read this manga whenever it is updated!


Overall: 9.4->9
Personally, this manga is a must read, actually has a great chance to be an anime, Anjou Angel Anjou Angel Anjou Angel [hahaha, get it? ;D ], still too early to give it a 10 [since it is still relatively new]~~~



P.S. This is my first time seeing a mangaka who excels at drawing bras, not panties (*ﾟ∀ﾟ*)/ (do not recall seeing any panties in this manga)

Yeah the first one to make a review ... dont take this serious I just wanna do one so people red this Manga ... yeah its a great one READ IT ... thanks ^^

It seems like I have to write more to publish this "review" ... well what can I say I liked the Manga its similar to "Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san" (Dont bully me Nagatoro) but this one is more wholesome ...

It has around 30 chapters right now ...

pls let this be enough and dont flame me mods or how to call them on MyAnimeList I am just doing one for fun its not to abuse the system .... well there wherent any reviews you can delete this when there are more reviews and actual ones...

I am not using this ' thingy dont hate me I am just not used to it and I dont want to be ^^

The art style is surely cute and I enjoyed reading this for the most part. Yet I felt like it had too many "erotic" or provocate scenes without context, seemingly in the effort to differentiate this manga from other similar works. Don't get me wrong, I'm much fond of erotica in general, but for this manga, it didn't make much sense to me why Anjou san is so into the nerdy MC. Unfortunately the plot hole kept distracting me from genuinely enjoying the story. Would be a nine star if there was a more convincible plot that explains her strong affinity to Seto

This gets me so hot every time I read it, my heart is beating fast and honestly no other manga affects me this way so ya. Funny, great characters, hype moments, limitless conflict and spicy romance. Honestly, that's all you need. Favorite manga hands down and its not even close.

Also, the art is really good. It makes you go back and stare at it just to appreciate it and gives the series a lot of reread value.


I really don't know what else to write here but they said to make it longer but lets be honest nobody wants to read a review that is a hundred pages long. It is also annoying to summarize the plot in a review, why do people do this?

well, lets start things of with some one word review
CUTE!!!

tbh this manga is just like that one manga where a girl tease a guy and all the fun happens. but somehow, i enjoy this more though. its just so enjoyable and cute to see both of the mc doing fun things together and somehow i just want to ship them. i hope they do that at the end of the manga.

well for the story, i guess its just a normal slice of life story where you get to know what the mc doing each day. as expected from this kind of manga. i mean you cant really do it in any other way right?

for the art, i must say its quite a bit erotic, lol. i mean the art is great, and tbh its just look like any other manga. but somehow, i quite like it and it fits with the genre of the manga so, its a plus point.

characters are normal, we have the guy who got teased and we have the girl who teases the guy. just a normal thing to see, but how they interact is just cute. lets just ship them guys, come on.

enjoyment, i must say this honestly and damn i enjoy reading it ! it's just relaxing and cute to see both of the mc doing fun things in life. or maybe i just feel like i want to go back to highschool and have that care-free life.

overall, i enjoy this manga and looking forward for more chapters! please ship them please

Review time! Alright, so to start off, Yancha Gal is a story about a gyaru hottie teasing your standard, socially incompetent nerdy MC. You can relate it to Takagi-san or Nagatoro-san, and I'd say those comparisons would be good because this manga is every bit as good. If you don't know what the genre is, imagine this: a cute girl teases a boy whose weaknesses she knows exactly how to exploit, and who she has a not-so-secret crush on. Boy is typically socially inept in one way or another, allowing you the reader insert yourself into his position and imagine different decisions. That said, I'd say the MCs in the genre are more pitiable than insufferable, you'll rarely find yourself actually frustrated with any of the characters in these easy reads.

But, how is Yancha Gal different? Well, first, Anjou is a gyaru - which means she's sexualized and a delinquent. To draw a gyaru effectively, the art has to be sexy, and I'd definitely say Yancha Gal hits the mark. I'd wager the artist has drawn his fair share of doujinshi/eromanga, and if he hasn't he should. Second, Anjou is quite direct about what she likes - why she is can be up to your imagination, but she doesn't hide the fact that she likes Seto. Seto might be too dense to realize that, and thus the comedy. Third, I think something else that's different is Seto - like any MC in the genre he has to be incompetent, but he's not completely unaware of what's happening, and he has his own ways of showing his affection towards Anjou. Which, all in all, means that the story is a little "sweeter" than others of the genre. Finally, the story actually follows something of a 'plot' unlike most stories in the genre. Each chapter follows on from the previous to some extent, there's a clear sense of time passing as the story progresses, and later chapters will reference events of previous chapters. I think the plot focuses around Seto trying to figure out what he wants to do with his life. It's not difficult to follow for a casual reader, and I'd say it adds a little more reward and depth to the characters relationships since they seem to be growing as the story continues, which is nice.

I'd say if you already like the genre, this is a fantastic addition. If you've never tried it but like romantic comedies, definitely check it out! Also, if you're a person of culture that enjoys your fair share of sexy girls drawn in black and white, chances are you'll be entertained by this.
