Finished it today. Prolly will watch the anime later. Lets get on with this.
SUMMARY:
Cromartie High School is a manga about a "delinquent school", a high school which the lowest out of the lowest scum go, and scratch balls whilst competing who is the biggest badass. Enter this dude (whom name I have forgot) who is a normal dude and not a delinquent, but he applied to this school out of principle, of a sort. It doesn't really have a plot but it's the mostly Seinfeldian type of humour, prolly like a bizarre sitcom. Anyone flipping through the pages will see a Freddy Mercury knockoff, a gorilla, the big horse from Fist Of The North Star, another gorilla, and a robot had managed to become students so one can tell just what kind of shit happens. For a manga about delinquents, there are surprisingly little amounts of combat, but that was the intention of the author (or was it?) so it can mostly be considered a slice-of-life type of thingy.
PROS:
- It's a comedy work, and it's satirical enough to make me c h u c k l e
- Characters are relatable.
- Humor doesn't rely too much on references, if you understand a reference when you see one, you are cool and good.
- For a story about delinquents doing nothing, it gets surprisingly deep.
CONS:
- Some people might not like the art which occasionally gets recycled
- Gags also get recycled (although it is part of the humour).
- Some scenes become boring.
- If you are looking for combat, tough luck, move onto the next manga.
CONCLUSION:
If you are bored out of your brains, wanna read something on the commute, or if you are tired of those ever-lasting overly complicated stories involving numerous plots and just want to chillax without reading about current day politics or economics, feel free to either find a real copy or "borrow" one online. It gets surprisingly deep, a lot, even if the characters aren't ones with intelligence to boast, it might make you think, time to time. If you feel like the deepness is shitty, that doesn't mean anything though, it wasn't even intentioned in the first place.
7/10 Enough interesting to pass the time at college, and coherent and well made enough to not be a massive shitpost.
(if you feel like I am too harsh, not even the author likes it (probably))
