It's been a year and a half since I started reading BokuBen manga weekly. Every week, getting a quick chapter, which usually doesn't add much to the story but some random comedy and fluff, with occasional serious arcs.
And today, with the release of the 187th chapter, the manga is now complete.

Looking back, I feel like BokuBen lacked quite a bit throughout the manga. Some girls getting more development than others, some naturally having better chemistry with the main character than others, but overall how much it was lacking in actual progress.

But even with that, it has caught a special place in my heart. It doesn't do anything too groundbreaking, and the Harem romcom genre has pretty much shown us all we have to see in the genre, yet - BokuBen was able to play it off all nicely.

Misunderstandings were almost always played for the jokes and rarely (if ever?) was used as a long-term drama driver.

The girls are cute and quirky, although are pretty much falling into previously known archetypes (Tsundere, Genki childhood friend, Ice Queen, etc.).

The main character, Nariyuki, suffers a lot from the usual antics of being a main character of a Harem. But luckily he does develop over the series, even when he's on the back burner. And he also becomes more confident and bold over the series, which I liked.

Finally, the ending of the manga (which I will not spoil) was satisfactory. Which is pretty rare for Harem manga, but 22i handled it very nicely. I applaud the man.

All in all, it's a 8/10 from me. I can recommend it if you're looking for a chill Harem romcom, although there isn't too much to see if you're digging deeper.
