A review by crookedtreehouse
Hitorijime My Hero, Vol. 1 by Memeco Arii
1.0
A former coworker left this behind when they moved, and I thought I'd broaden my manga horizons and check this out.
Yikes.
I suppose the story could be creepy as it's supposed to be about a teacher's eventual romantic relationship with a former student but it's just so badly written that I only know that from reading the blurb on the back and the reviews. I HOPE this was a translation issue, because I don't understand why, with the thousands of manga series in Japan, anyone would bother to translate this series if it's this bad in Japanese.
There's no coherency. No backstories for the characters, no narrative flow, no interesting dialogue, no romance, no depth to any of the characters, no humor, and nothing even fun about the book. It's rare to read something this completely empty of substance. It's like a terrible art student's abandoned outline of a book that was never destined to be interesting.
You'd get a better story reading the upside-down answers to crossword puzzles at the back of a newspaper. I'm thinking of packing it up and mailing it to the coworker's new address COD.
