Good, but not stellar

by Mizura

Rating: N/A

After seeing so many recommendations and the stellar ratings, I started reading this with extremely high expectations. Maybe because I'm a girl though, it didn't live up to my expectations.

One of the moments I found most interesting in this series was when Mr. Molester solved his misunderstanding with Mr. Glasses. At that moment I had high hopes for Mr. Molester to make his very first guy friend in real life, which could result in all sorts of interesting interactions and discussions beyond what he got on 2ch. With that, the series would have been about how a shut-in eventually acquires a well-rounded life with both male and girl friends as well as a girlfriend.

Instead, this boy who never had friends, let alone a girlfriend, somehow found himself surrounded by Only girls, all of which eventually get over initial misconceptions and quickly befriend him. This process was quite enjoyable, until the other romance "routes" were added. At this point the series started feeling like a dating sim (not helped by the "choice A or B?" conversation formats). Despite the well-written moments (especially from Mr. Molestor's POV), the girls fall so easily and quickly in love with someone they only meet from time to time that I can't help but think that they must be Really horny or desperate for a boyfriend. This reinforced the feeling that they're mere dating sim targets (challenging ones, but ones to be "won"). I mean, they started as total strangers, but in 2 months 2 girls were ready to sleep with him?

I can see why guys would love this. This series gives shut-in guys a lot of hope, and the main male character is easy to empathize with, with many realistic (?) flaws portrayed in sympathetic light. However, the girls were not written on the same level: they were overall "girls who guys would like to date", but conveniently seemed to lack any decent guys in their life. And in the end, they felt like routes to be played through, albeit challenging ones, rather than real-life girls (who would likely need a lot longer to grow so intimate with a stranger otaku).

An other masterwork from yoko - a must read!

by Cedante90

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

This manga (well doujin) is great in every way possible. First things first: After reading Onani Master Kurosawa, which is in my opinion one of the best mangas ever made, I wasn't turned off by the art of this doujin at all and actually enjoyed it. And this is a highly recommened advice: don't drop this manga only because you may not like the art! why? it's simple: the story is hilarious, touching and very realstic (didn't even now that it is based on a real story).

Similiar to the comment below, I normaly don't laugh too often with the mangas I read but this one hit the spot. The jokes and monologues of the protagonist are hilarious. As for the protagonist: I'm sure that every reader can connect to the protagonist of this story. Being a bit of a loner, and avarage otaku and a 2channler, I think that everyone has experienced similar obstacles or situations at some points in life as he has to face in this story.The plot itself is very interessting and even though it's basically a slice of life ambience, the relations and conversation of the characters seem so realistic that you may forget that this is a manga. But the main reason that this story turned out to be one of the best series I've ever read was due to the romance in it. A heart warming and beautiful story that through it's simplicity makes it so true-to-life. For this kind of storys I'm happy that I read mangas. Definitely a masterpiece - 10/10. I recommend it to everyone!

This is one of the funniest things I've read in awhile. And to think something of this level actually happened? That just makes everything all the better. No wonder everything had a realistic feel to it. ha ha ha.

Too many darn words

by plotrobert
9 years ago

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

So Molester Man is one of those mangas I ignored for the longest time based on the name alone. I'm glad I gave in and read it though, because the story here was pretty well done without feeling too sappy.

Like my subject like says, one of the only complaints I have against this series is that there's just too many words. I know this was a 2chan thread first and all, but some pages especially early on are just absolutely covered in words. This wouldn't be so bad if there was a great need for so many words but most of the time these large blocks of text could be easily cut down or summarized. Another minor issue with this manga is that the female characters fell just a bit flat for me. Main love interest girl is the only one who seemed to have some depth to her and even then she came across to me as a girl written to be cool.

Minor points aside though this is a good read that won't take you forever. It has a nice ending, the main character isn't a complete idiot and I do find the romance genuinely touching. Certainly recommended.

Train Man's Second Coming

by m0u5e
12 years ago

Rating: N/A

If you enjoyed Train Man or Onani Master Kurosawa, you'll probably love Molester Man.

The title itself is very misleading, as the story has almost nothing to do with molesters (and neither is the protagonist a molester). As other reviewers have mentioned, YOKO does a great job immersing the reader in the story -- you'll laugh when the main character does, you'll cry when he does, cringe when he cringes, etc. This is a great story about budding love, and character growth and will definitely leave you feeling warm with heartache by the end.

it gives you a look at how your life can change with little misunderstandings and interactions at any given time

the art it's kind of like a manuscript, and like penguin71 said, you really start to like it that way, it's like you are reading a diary or something

A very good one

by Trimutius

Rating: 9.8 / 10.0

I liked this manga... I pretty much believe it is true, at least it sounds more realistic than some biographies out there, and I really hope there is a guy who got lucky like that...

Also chapters 21 and 21.5 weirded me out a bit. It seems like Kansai is YOKO to me, but I suppose we will never know...

too chatty

by whitespade

Rating: 7.5 / 10.0

i dont mind wordy manga, for example mind game manga like one outs with lots of explanation of the strategy or scify like 200+1 ya monogatari that heavily peppered the panels with scientific jargons. i love reading - but only if its useful or have meaning. but here, there is too much words that is thinner than air - its panels after panels of momentary thought and text-speak and it really tire me out to read such mundane conversations.

i understand though why the rating is very high as it seems 'realistic' and very true to the source material or message thread. but to me every medium have different kind of presentation and whats best for one is not good for another. thus the inane conversations, if directly read in message board might be thrilling, but here they just deadened natural flow of a manga.

the characters, as it is taken from real life, have realistic quality to it with the mc reacting like normal horny young adult with a pretty good head on his shoulder. the girls are also good, so if you like good characterization, this manga will provide some for you.

the art is rough and unoriginal, but pretty and easily understandable. some people might not like the fact its just sketches but i think it lend a more 'realistic' feeling to it as if this is really hastily drawn by members of 2ch to celebrate the couple victory.

all in all, i like the mc, the plot is quite plodding, and you better off skipping some inane text. but it is a pretty good romance.

Great Series

by Rankre

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

I haven't written a comment for a manga in a long while, but this one deserves a comment. As they say in parts of the web, I came due to the title, I stayed due to the story. It really is a nicely paced story with good character progression and very nice control of drama and feel good moments. In addition, all the references and parodies make the comedy in this great as well. Definitely recommend for anyone, it was a genuinely a good read. Surprising, since I was intrigued by the strange title and wasn't expecting something serious. What a nice surprise.

Hilarious and Heartwarming

by penguin71

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

I laughed out loud many time for this doujin, and I don't laugh in manga often (I groan a lot more). The art style seems "bad" at first but it fits the situation perfectly and after a while it begins to grow on you. But what really keeps you reading is the story of how Molester Man goes from a shy shut-in into a much more forward, open, and dare I say, mature man.
