Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun

Description

From Azuki:
Mizutani is a self-absorbed overachiever, concerned only with maintaining the highest grades in school. Haru is an impulsive short tempered brute, who scares everyone with his explosive bursts of violence. Haru gets suspended on the first day of school when he encounters some bullies harassing a student and dispatches the bullies with great bloody violence. Mizutani is tasked with delivering school materials to Haru who interprets this as an act of friendship and latches on to Mizutani, much to her dismay. And so begins a strange and potentially combustible relationship.

Refreashing and funny!

Okay if you’re tired of same old cliché shoujo manga that you see everywhere! Then you should definitely try this manga! This manga separate itself from many other shoujo manga. The main female character is strong and independent, she has a cold personality, but she is also really funny and is unique. And the main male character is very refreshing from the typical shoujo main lead, he hot-headed but as a cute happy dog personality and he striving to makes friend, but he always get in to fights.

I can't say much about the plot though since they are only 8 translated chapters but I'm sure it be epic. But so far the manga is pack with a lot of funny events that happen with the group (yes they form and group with a girl who is obsessed with the internet, and baseball guy, and a chicken!)

And the art is very good too. Its simpler to shouen manga art.

So I defiantly recommend everyone to gives this manga a try. It’s a good read!

i dont get why everyone likes this manga so much..it's really boring and the male lead is nuts..the female lead is boring..it's not funny at all. i dont get why people say i'ts funny because i was bored all the way reading it..i had to force myself to finish reading only one chapter.
the plote was ok but it came out boring in the manga. and i dont like the art either.
so in short i don't get why people gave this manga such a hight rating.

OMG THE GUY IS SO FUNNY. The girl isn't some dopey idiot, she's a girl striving to become someone who can get a job that earns 10mil a year LOL. She was told to give printouts and met the delinquent, who became attached to her. He is desperate of friends but wonders why everyone avoids him. So he follows her around like a dog because... HE'S SCARED OF HIGHSCHOOL HAHAHAHAHA. Like, someone was attempting to bully him, then he was like calling her coz he got scared but actually he beat them up already, but he was still scared LMAO. The funniest thing,

she was shocked when she was beaten in exams by someone in the past, who didn't show up to the opening ceremony, which was obviously him! Honestly, I got so shocked I thought he was dumb HAHA! He might actually be smarter than her but it doesn't look like it at all!

TOTALLY RECOMMENDED. DIFFERENT FROM CLICHE SHOUJOS. A MUST READ.
10 all the way!

I thought it was necessary to give a detailed review, since this manga is awesome and all 🙂

It's extremely rare to come across a shoujo with a cold stand offish female lead who isn't just smart, but blunt and open. I mean, she knows when she has feelings and then she just goes for it. There hasn't been any whining (hopefully she won't ever whine. Seems sorta out of character of her) and her cold personality isn't anti-social. It's more like, "I know what I want, so don't stop me" way. She's really interesting while being normal. Plus she's not stone, so she has facial expressions and reactions. (hilarious ones at that.)

The male lead--So. Freakin'. Adorable. Again, it's rare to come across such a funny/weird lead. Usually he's cold, a delinquent (well, this male lead is called a delinquent but you sorta forget he's a "delinquent.") tempered, class president. You know, one of the many character cliches. This lead is all over the place and it's hilarious. His natural reflex is to hit, yet he's not aware of what hitting does. He desperately wants friends, but cant since is naturally reflex to hit scares (that's not how it is described in the story...you'll see) people away. He's a child--a naive child--in a man's body. Oh, and he's a freakin' genius, somehow. It's awesome. I fell in love with him from introduction. He doesn't fail to surprise you.

There is no "plot" really. Mostly just progression between characters (yes, eventually they form a group. One weird internet loving girl and one normal baseball boy. Oh and a chicken) and friendships. It's not slow, but it's not quick either. It's perfect and done well. Another thing I really loved about reading the manga, was the amount of action on each page. I don't mean literally action, I mean, just stuff. Chapters don't fly by, lets just say. The six chapters seems more like ten or eleven, which makes the story all the better.

Anyways, it's a feel good story. You just read and laugh and enjoy. Light, simple, fun, all done to perfection. What more could you want?

I don't really like when characters take so long to confess and realize their feelings. But this main character is very straight forward! She has her periods of shyness, but gets through it very well! Such a cute manga!

Oh this is a manga i wouldn't hesitate giving a 10.
I've always been attracted to cold female leads, and this is lead gives me the the most realistic feel. I can't wait for the next chapters...

I wish it would meet my expectation. but for now, i'd say, you better read it.

It's good. nice read. light and nice. it left me smiling...

This manga is soo hilarious!
The girl is really cold and only interested in studying and the guy is cute, strong and a total weirdo but together they are so funny. I think them and this manga so far are pretty unique. =-)
