I think I'm bouncing off of this series. I read four entire volumes, though! Maybe I'll hang on to 5-9 in case I change my mind.

I appreciate the hilarity, and especially find the manga-ka's notes on the omake pages quite funny. There is a lot of potty humor, which I tend to ignore, and the characters themselves are often quite funny. BUT, it's too much for me. I need drama mixed in with my funnies!

I wouldn't call this series stupid, or terrible. I just don't like it enough to look forward to reading a new volume.

I did like the way the Shinsengumi was involved, though.


If anyone has any final epic professions of love detailing why I should like this series, speak now!

Also, regarding plot--it will become more complicated, but I think this story is more like (in terms of plot-style) Azumanga than, say, Nana. It'll play with drama, but this is ultimately a daily life story (all the more humorous, maybe, because of the unusual setting).
