Not offensively bad, just boring and lacking logic

I honestly can't care for this manga. I tried to like it but it's just a bit too stupid with absolutely nothing happening, not even anything fun.

I guess the author tries to go for a "cute girls doing cute stuff" kind of vibe but with tons of loli kunoichi that don't act like kunoichi. The comedy is, as implied by the name, supposed to come from tsubaki's fascination for men. But, honestly, most of the content is completely devoid of this subject, because there is very little fun and story to be taken from it in a setting like this. The author screwed himself over from the get-go by making men mysterious and completely isolated from the village. If there are no men, how can a setting like that work? Instead, it focuses mainly on various loli kunoichis with different personalities interacting with each other on a daily basis and, now and then, men being the talk of the day.

It's not funny nor creative. It's incredibly bland and unmemorable. It often ends up cringeworthy when you think even a little bit about the setting. This girl, tsubaki, has never seen a man in her entire life. She doesn't even understand what a man is, how they act, how they look or even what they are in essence, instead being told that they are scary and barbaric beings all her life. See, this is where it gets cringeworthy. Despite this setting, she's acting like a swooning maiden. Well, to be more precise, she acts like a cat in heat. What she feels is very clearly nothing but sheer lust, at most she's a horny teenager. But the issue is that she has never seen men, never been told of them in any way.

So, how the heck can she even project her horniness onto what is essentially an UMA - unidentified mysterious animal, to her? Meanwhile, the author passes it off as if what she feels is something closer to love than just pure lust. Getting all hot and bothered as soon as men are mentioned and losing concentration makes about as much sense as amish preachers praising science and technology.

This basic flaw in the writing and logic of the story makes everything fall completely flat and this is an issue present from the start, it's not something minor, the fundamental setting is unbelievably stupid. It'd make more sense if she went after the girls around her. If the author had at least made her interact with men properly in some way so that she has a good idea of what a man is, then it would make a little bit more sense.

It couldn't be clearer that this author isn't really a good one. It can be seen from all his other manga as well, yes, including the one with the girl that teases that boy which only works for people with specific fetishes, even that one has a crap setting, execution, zero progress and unbelievable relationship dynamics, being popular because the author lucked out on a setting that somehow worked even then for a special demographic.

4/10. Not offensive, readable if you are bored and like lolis. Can't bring myself to give a higher score to something that can't even focus properly on the core of the manga or set up a basic setting that's believable to some extent. The art is pretty decent though and if lust for lolis is what you read for, this isn't too bad a pick, I personally find their super sized foreheads to be disturbing though.

Typical Yamamoto

Yamamoto Souichirou is not a particularly good mangaka. This manga does not buck the trend he's established.

Worth a read, but don't expect too much, especially from the ending.

Speaking of the end:

Spoiler (mouse over to view)
The final chapter is one of the worst endings I've read. It achieves nothing, explains nothing, reeks of the axe, and is perfectly in line with Yamamoto's garbage approach to storytelling. Not only do we not see the man that Tsubaki has been pining for, we don't get any kind of interaction between the two. Then Yamamoto hits us with the supposed "love" that Tsubaki feels for the international man of mystery.

The execution is awful, but to end a chapter with a meaningless fight and then have zero exposition (show or tell) regarding Tsubaki's feelings just renders the manga as a waste and I really have no clue what Yamamoto or his editor were thinking. Why run a manga for 60 chapters, go nowhere for most of it, and then end it in the way they did?

This really increases my confidence for whenever Soredemo Ayumu wa Yosetekuru ends. Nah, that's not true; I never had any confidence that that manga would end well, despite being better than this or any other manga that has Yamamoto's name attached.
