The progatonist has a brain that jumps ahead too quickly to be able to calmly make decisions. The numerous amount of imaginations he makes hardly adds value to the plot, but it sure made the whole thing much funnier in the end.
The various debates on topics on society etc. do make a good reading. When I first came across such discourse in author's other work, Golden Boy, I was quite surpised as the other manga didn't have many deep dialogues at first. After reading this, only then I understood the style of this mangaka.

I just can't love the arrogant stupidity of the protagonist, but that's the selling point of Tokyo Daigaku Monogatari.

As the subject title says...I wish this could get scanlated. Been reading the raws but they're not really good quality. Bishopcruz, did you buy the manga ? If not, how did you get the RAWs ??

My Japanese sucks, but there is a surprising amount that this series is able to bring to the fore even if you can't speak the language. I am still amazed by Egawa's art. It took me years to complete this series, and I am still missing the second to last volume. It is full of life, and insanity, and you never really know where it's going to go. Egawa's best work, and it's a shame it hasn't been scanlated or preferably, picked up.

I'd be willing to scan this series for any groups that are interested. I own the entire series, RAWs are available, and they are of decent quality.
