Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun 's review

After dropping this manga halfway the first time, I read it from the start for the second time. I actually didn't like the anime at all but since usually mangas have a better storyline, I thought I'd give it a shot. Yoshida is a violent character who doesn't have basic communication skills so he has problems in school. He also confesses the second someone showes him kindness. Shizuku is a weird character too who doesn't want social interaction and only wants to focus in her studies. The pacing is fast since the characters confess on a whim. I really didn't like any of the characters, I found myself just reading it to get over with it. One of the problems is Yoshida keeps telling some cheesy lines and kisses her but he suddenly is not sure about his feelings when she confesses. Another problem is that Yoshida doesn't listen what she has to say, acts whatever he feels like, doesn't stop when the girl is clearly uncomfortable and the manga shows this as something cute and quirky. Many might see this as cute too; getting hugged forcefully and threatening to harass the girl if she screams, a guy pushing you and getting on top of you forcefully the first time seeing each other and many more forceful moments. But it wouldn't be the case if she didn't have any feelings for him since he does all this without any ties or consent. They also both say that one of them dumped the other quite a bit when it's their fault being so bad at communication. There's usual love triangles and unsuprisingly the girl chooses the male who treats her like trash. The violent and immature behaviour of Yoshida bothered me because he always tries to solve problems by violence then wonders why Shizuku got mad at him. As Yamaken literally said at some point "His mental development stopped at the level of a grade-schooler".

The art is typical shoujo art, it is consistent.

I don't recommend this if you don't like immature characters, forceful touching and bad communication. I didn't enjoy it but there are many people that did so you can check it out, though it certainly wasn't for me. I was just so glad it was over.
