These books are all pretty special to me, takagi especially. I got into anime relatively later in life, when the quality of American media precipitously declined in the trump years, and these were some of the popular books I tried that made me realize both that, yeah anime is cool but manga is even better, and romcom manga is definitely the genre for me.
Takagi is a masterpiece. The mangaka paints a picture of a beautiful dreamlike world of youth that you keep losing yourself in every single chapter. Which is all the more impressive given that on the surface level it’s really as simple as weekly peanuts with Lucy and the football over and over again. But he’s really perfected nostalgia magic, even for those of us whose youths were not spent in the Japanese countryside. Of all three of these manga, this one’s anime adaptation is the best, it comes the closest to capturing the magic of the manga.
Nagatoro is just great fun, with very kinetic high energy art and a whole bunch of cute and funny girls. It’s one that’s gotten better and better as time has gone on and the leads are becoming more genuinely in love and you get more of Nagatoro embarrassing herself. The anime is pretty good but the official English subs are a little bit sus.
Uzaki is a bit of the odd one out, the school setting is gone, and she’s not particularly good at teasing her target, nor does she try as often, she’s mostly a normal slightly annoying type young woman. I also thought it was good but not as good as the lightning in a bottle of takagi and Nagatoro, but it grows and grows in my estimation with every volume. It’s one of the most pro-social manga I’ve read, rather than wallowing in high school nostalgia it’s set in the more normal and realistic world of young adult life, lots of multi child families with healthy involvement in their family lives, the men are all physically fit and have communities for themselves that have no gay suspicion hermeneutics. Everyone is a little bit randy and looking for someone of the opposite sex to hook up and settle down with. It’s the picture of a vibrant healthy youth culture, the kind that’s been dead here for a long time, I suspect in Japan as well since the only other manga with this energy that I’ve read are from the 80’s and prior. I think @WashedOutGundamPilot would approve. Shitlibs who hated uzaki because of anti-shortstackism were more right than they knew, uzaki rejects all of their values. All of this is of course background to the actual content of the manga, which is again good silly romcom fun. The anime is fine.- Woggy's Zeonic Frolicks likes this.

When I saw that excellent animation of the manga panels, I fell in love with his artwork….until 3 minutes later when I saw what he’d used that talent on.
As long as you take it in a vacuum, all is well. Just really wish the guy would do some vanilla stuff to balance it all out.
I don’t have the Moe Shop original of this vid

Copington @WashedOutGundamPilot @jimmybuffettfanaccount I still remember seeing Nagatoro in her original context as a verbal abuse fetish doujin and I can't see her any other way.

Every time I’m wanting to add more of his work to the pinup archive, I get too grossed out by his other work. I just checked and when I went back a bit I was presented with “industrialized rape cattle-fication” and chickened out of mining it.
I think I heard an interview with him once though, was interested in how he made the transition. It’s strange, because so many of the twitter fans are brown narcissists, you’d think they would be pushing back on it all the time.
