I never really got into this series, but at the same time, it was so inoffensive that I never ended up dropping it either 😅

High School Family:
Kokosei Kazoku

(Ryo Nakama)

September 2020 to February 2023

122 Chapters

What I Liked

• Virtual Amazoness!
• The punny school names 😁
• Ichiro Sr’s amazing Excel skills LOL

Things I Found Meh

• It just…wasn’t that funny? I feel like the premise was itself was the most ‘out there’ bit, but kinda spoiled by the title of series, so all the gags felt pretty rote?
• I felt bad for Kotaro, but not enough that I didn’t find his love triangle a bit tedious.

Conclusion

Kudos on this series for lasting 9 volumes or so. I’m guessing it’s one of those things where the humour just doesn’t translate, kinda like in Show-ha Shoten, except that series isn’t a gag manga and isn’t as dependent on the jokes being funny.
