Ashigei Shoujo Komura-san is not good.

For people who have feet fetishes and read the manga to get their daily dose of sexual satisfaction, it ends up feeling like that one day where you go to school but none of your friends did and you sat at lunch in awkward silence.

For people who aren't into feet and were searching for a comedic slice of life manga to pass the time on, it fails on every end except one, which in the grand scheme of things doesn't really matter at all.

Story: 1
The premise isn't interesting. It just isn't. I implore you to tell me what differentiates this story from any other SoL or even why you are supposed to come back each week to update yourself on the "story", implying there was a story to begin with. The manga disrespects the audience by adding in irrelevant characters to "challenge" Komura. This could have been an attempt at adding conflict. I don't know, I don't like it and I certainly, definitely, without the shadow of a doubt, don't care for it.

Art: 8
Hey, this is the part that I enjoyed. It's true, the manga looks good, the art pops, and the style is recognizable. It fits the atmosphere very well. Unfortunately, I will now forever recognize this art style as the art style that this god forsaken manga was drawn in. Basically, while bad art can make a great manga seem worse, great art can never make a bad manga better.

Character: 1
The characters aren't interesting, complex, multi-dimensional, or mysterious. And while a SoL doesn't need any of those values in characters, the characters in Ashigei Shoujo Komura-san don't even have motivations. If they do, it's nonsensical. Without motivations or intriguing traits, why do I even care about these characters? And so I don't. I don't care for the main character whose name I have forgot or Komura whose name I only remember because it's in the title.

Enjoyment: 1
This is redundant at this point but this manga is not meant to be enjoyed. It almost feels like a crime to read this manga while doing anything enjoyable such as sipping a nice, warm cup of tea or bathing in the light of the sun because it's just so repulsive. It might be somewhat enjoyable relative to the grating sound of nails on a chalkboard or stepping on legos. I only read every chapter because I only give anime/manga ratings after I've seen the whole thing.

Overall: 1
I don't care if the art is good when the story and characters suck. There were multiple occasions where I wondered if a fast one was being pulled on me and the whole manga itself was a parody of similarly dreadful, uninteresting, light SoL's that only exist because they "don't hurt anyone". The ending is a poor attempt at being emotional and investable and manga like this hurt not just the legitimacy of the platform as something for great storytelling but undermine other SoL's attempts at actually weaving interesting stories. It IS harmful. To the viewer who comes to believe this is the standard, to the mangaka who is writing a genuinely good story but sees stories like this overshadow their work, Ashigei Shoujo Komura-san offends me. With nothing worthy of adoration or analysis and certainly no soul or passion or even appreciation for the medium of manga itself, Ashigei Shoujo Komura-san scores a 1/10 for me.

Do I recommend the manga? Sure, every manga deserves a read and taste is subjective.
