Surprising turn of events, very interesting, a must read

by brunosxs

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

I started reading as a training for my english, as like any other manga, I read mainly because of the comedy... that`s a must for me...

And in this style there`s so many comedi-romance manga, and so many are just a lame excuse for fanservice...

Its very impressive how things turn out, how the autor developed the characters, explaining the reasons to their actions... its a slice of life, with very true situations... the emotions and feelings that everyone has for one another, the fails in love... very interesting...
a must read...

Good until Chapter 44.

I like this manga, Found it very funny, but after the stupid plot-twist on chapter 44, it has gone downhill. My rating for this was 9 out of 10, but after that it is 7 out of 10. I hope the author can redeem it, but I doubt they will ever mention it again and the certain character will stay an annoying secondary with no real point anymore.

A hole... Oh! A hole...

by asudake

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

I thoroughly enjoyed this manga, from it's upbeat downright Otakuness, to it's serious responsibility and parental overtones...
It's clever, and at times can lift your spirits. This manga is average in it's approach, but great on it's creative theme, never heard an Otaku/Parent centered story... Minus allot of shoujo manga...
It's art is passable, although sometimes you wonder why it doesn't look better, because his average pages are ok, when at times he does a page that looks magnificent.

The hole that it leaves me with is, in the most recent chapter's, although it adds more realistic overtones, it leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth:

The whole relationship with Sensei and the Manager is weird, it makes me think they just came up with it on the spot. Also the manager's mom is like a floozy of some sort, although true, they use psychology to defend that fact, and the fact that she abandoned her kid!? And the Manager barely care's about that! i felt it was a kick in the ba!!'s for me! End Rant...
But all in all, this is a manga to read. And you don't have to know too many manga, don't listen to the comments, the scantlators added comments of which ones are obscure. The only ones you need to know are, Dragon Ball Z, Evangelion and Urusei Yatsura; and your good.

A Great Read (9/10) till Chapter 42

by goodbye.name

Rating: N/A

Don't get me wrong. The manga was great and funny. It was really enjoyable and I was having fun. Then, chapter 43-44 happened and this became a low grade manga.

The Land lady and the Sensei thing was just yuck. No better words to describe it (it doesn't deserve even that).
It was bad for 3 reasons.
1] First, there was no fucking indication of that ANYWHERE in the manga up until that chapter. It was a literal Ass-Pull. There was nothing that even slightly indicated that those 2 were close in some special way, forget fucking married.
2] Second, an old man marrying a young girl. Now, in certain circumstances I wouldn't mind it much. But the one where he married the girl whom he brought up like his daughter? FUCK NO. That's just disgusting. The age is not the problem, it's the extreme violation of morals of having married someone who was like his daughter. That's just disgusting. Simply. Disgusting.
3] Third and what I was disturbed with the most. How the didn't even give a fuck about Kouta. That FUCKING sensei guy was LEADING HIM ON THE ENTIRE TIME. He was all like, "you have a tough hurdle ahead, bro". WHAT THE FUCK. You could've told him she was already involved or something or atleast that it was outright impossible! But no! You wanted to fucking lead the poor guy on and EVEN BEFORE he revealed everything, he actually went upto him and asked him if he liked her or not! You getting off on that?!
Even forgetting that part, AFTER they revealed everything and Kouta falls into depression AND THEY KNOW IT, they just keep flirting with each other. WTF. It's like they don't even give a shit about what happens to him and how it's all their fault!

So like I said, this manga was great. But after ch 43-44, it went to shit. Literally. No way around it.
I'll recommend anyone interested to read it till about ch 40. AND THEN JUST STOP. Don't even dare to read ahead.

Parenthood vs Ota-ism

by charsiewpau
16 years ago

Rating: 6.0 / 10.0

Otaku's probably make bad father figures, but in this story, the mother, although not an Ota, has her share of not being a proper mother as well.

Though not very plausible in terms of character and plotlines, it pokes fun at most otaku culture, which makes it a great read for me. Since it is still at it's early stages, it's hard to pass judgement as to how worthy it will be to follow this manga to it's entirety.

For now, the dilemma of the otaku parents to me are hilarious and are a worthy read, even though some punchlines and tsukkomi can be predictable.

For those wanting a perspective (which is by no means definitive in this manga) of otaku culture and the people behind them, this manga certainly is a must read.

A whimsical series in the same vein of other Father-Daughter manga like Luck Stealer and My Girl. Worth a look.

Incredibly Cute and Very Entertaining

by monkeyvoodoo
17 years ago

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

It's easy to see why this is so highly rated in Japan, and here on mangaupdates -- Kanau is a cute, believable character, and the story, while somewhat fantastic, is quite appealing. Superficially, the idea of an otaku-type suddenly having a daughter forced upon him is funny and entertaining, but more importantly, underneath that pop-culture front is a great story that explores the meaning of family, parenthood, responsibility and love. Though it's light-hearted, and sometimes relies on cheap dramatic cliches or comedy, the characters really shine, and I've been eagerly awaiting each new chapter release (19, as of this writing).

OnM does require some prior understanding of Japanese culture pertaining to the otaku lifestyle. Although most of what you'd need to understand for the story to make sense can be inferred via dialogue, some of the comedy will probably benefit from an understanding of the subculture.

Reminds me a bit of Chokkoto Sister, though I think that while the "cute" factor is about the same in both, OnM has better characters.

Well worth your time. Definitely read this.

A Disapointment

by Fronzel
16 years ago

Rating: N/A

Gets surprisingly little mileage out of its premise, instead falling back on cheap situational humor and petty drama.The characterizations aren’t very strong either, which prevents it from even being good at light sentimentality. After far too long, it does make a stab developing the main premise, but even then, it relies on platitudes and old gimmicks. It had the chance to seriously contrast stereotypically immature otaku culture with the ultimate adulthood of being a parent, but ends up being nothing but insubstantial fluff.
