The violence were part of the comedy that's why it's treated like a joke. Miyamura also punches his best friend a lot. As you can notice in some anime and manga, like how a guy punches a girl, throwing people outside the building, etc it's not really treated seriously because it's part of the comedy. It's been used way back. Thou I'll understand if you're sensitive about it because of personal experience. But you really don't have to take it seriously, it's kinda part of the comedy. Maybe this is just not your cup of tea. But for me, the manga is great. 1000/10.
It's deep despite having a looot of comedic scenes. Hori, for me, is not toxic. She is not that mature but have a lot of room of improvement. But well, what highschool kid is without jealousy. She's against the piercing because she knows it's Miyamura inflicting harm to himself to runaway from loneliness. I think I have to point that out because you didn't get it. I hope I didn't offend you. I just wanna explain it. The tattoos and piercings was Miyamura's sign of depression. Everytime he felt too much loneliness and emptiness, he inflicts harm to himself thru piercings and tattoos. I'm not saying every piercings and tattoos is self-harm. It's just Miyamura's way of coping up. So Hori hating is her hating getting Miyamura hurt. He have her and his friends now, he doesn't need to struggle alone anymore. That message.
The story is about Miyamura meeting Hori and friends AND slowly overcoming his mental issues.
And yes, it deserves the hype the people gives. Just please it's genre is not just romance but also comedy and slice of life. I've been reading this for years. A lot of people do. We were all waiting for a real animation because the first one sucks. I'm really glad it's getting a lot of attention now
I saw random bits of episodes from the anime and though that it looked cute, decided to jump straight into the manga and I am francly disappointed. I tried so hard to like Hori but she is just so toxic. I thought this was meant to be this epic love story but the main literally had to change everything about himself because she doesn't like it, hates his piercings , hates his tattoos and every second thing he does. She gets violent for no reason and it's treated as a joke.
The male lead might as well be a completely different character by the end of the manga.
Just disappointed with it. Maybe I just came in with too high of an expectation. But I honestly wouldn't give it more that a 1 star and that's only because of the art
