FUNNY

This manga is sooooo funny, mocking all the other shonen series. But i love how they make it so serious even when it looks so stupid. But the latest arc is pretty dark....

the manga is good i was caught interest to read it when first time discovered however after sometime i found it began boring,the jokes is too repetetitive for me,all character just uninteresting anymore
the author apparently used the jokes too much and eventually became "forced" where we found all any jokes actually is not funny and you just stare blinkly see what the heck are they doing? seriously i need read another more funny gag manga,this manga is lame!
yup lame but actually can to expand to more interesting.the Plot!
yes this manga has plot but just used for every certain arc only and it not gripped anymore
if the author can pull a plot which able to a draw great change in this manga universe it might will make the manga interesting anymore
what's that?
an actual plot not temporary story because in the own arc,story moving stand alone in own storyline permanently where characters actually has goal

Quite the breath of fresh air in a clichéd magazine such as Shonen Jump. The comedy's great, dramatic scenes are well executed, and it seems to handle the day-to-day stories with verve so far.
Similar to Gintama that it doesn't take itself serious at all, endlessly mocking all that you can expect from a shonen manga.

start reading it because the curiousity about what people says about this manga, stop reading it after i try to get interested and reach around to chapters 100 or so. lol. i failed to find the funny or the cool things in this manga. agreed with Pebble, the characters makes me feel its being forced to be a somewhat unique or entertaining. although the art is nice, but the story is not interesting, and the gag is not make me laugh or simply entertained. It's just like a fail copy of Gintama..

Am I seriously the only one who doesn't find this manga funny? O_o

I've read all released chapters (with a lot of dropping it then picking it up), watched most episodes of the anime, I really tried to enjoy this series, since so many people seem to deem it 'one of the best', BUT I'm sorry I really really don't find it funny...

It lacks depth, authenticity. A lot of characters tend to irritate me and they seem somewhat 'forced'. As if the author made characters whose 'unique' personality should have been hilarious, but failed to give them a soul, to make them 'work'. So instead they're irritating and shallow... And boring. -_-

Bossun especially can be really annoying (not good for the protagonist! )
Himiko is steadily becoming a typical cliché shounen heroine -> tough ex-delinquent but really sweet deep down-blah-blah-crap! Of course she is only really happy when Bossun tells her that she cooks well, that she would be a great bride, or when she is doing the friggin cleaning! (give me a break!)
Switch is more interesting, but his persona is a bit inconsistent and appears sometimes involuntarily awkward-awkward instead of deliberately funny-awkward. The whole arc about his brother particularly was a huge WTF. The idea is not bad, but it really came out of the blue and the execution was, again, forced. The result was a really sudden tragedy arc, so sudden in fact, and so incoherent with the atmosphere of the manga, that I had a real hard time taking it seriously.
I'm not gonna list everything I dislike, but still. This manga felt lifeless to me. It felt like a huge pile of shounen clichés. (which can be good if well-executed, with some personal touch but which, in this case, failed to come alive)

Of course it's not all bad. There were some funny chapters/episodes, and I really like the chemistry teacher for instance, or that other teacher with all the weird games.
My review probably looks unnecessarily harsh, but that's because all the other comments are extremely flattering. I wanted to balance that, somehow. Of course Sket dance is doubtlessly mildly entertaining, if you're looking for a light read.

But on the whole I find this series mediocre, and since I have a hard time getting interested in comedies that I don't find 'awesome' (and there are a lot of these, I'm not that hard to please >_<), it's not for me.

I was disappointed. Sket dance is probably gonna go in my 'dropped list' very soon. -_-

final word? EXTREMELY OVERRATED.

Boring

I really don't know what's so great about this. I've tried to read this twice now. At first I never got over chapter 2 or 3, at the second time I couldn't even finish chapter 2...
This manga is absolutely boring and to compare it to Gintama is an insult...Gintama is awesome, this is lame.
I will probably try it one more time in the future but I doubt it will get better.
I can't understand why this is popular...
