Manga 105623 Yankee Shota To Otaku Oneesan

There's a fair amount of titles running on Gangan right now that have otaku characters filled with inside jokes about the tropes of the industry. Yankee Shota to Otaku Oneesan is, in my opinion, the best of the bunch right now. This is the tale of a fujoshi and shotacon (2D only of course) woman called Kazuko and her neighbor, Ryuou, a 3D shota (from her perspective) that starts to follow her around for reasons she doesn't understand.

It's a very light and fun comedy and Kazuko in particular is quite a hilarious character with her mannerisms and excessive inhibitions. There's a balance here between the ... funny moments that centers around the interactions between the main characters, and the more drama-like aspects of the story, centered around Ryuou relationship with his parents. They're good people but maybe not the best parents in the world. Don't worry though, it never reaches the point of tragedy, so you can read it always hoping to finish the volume in a good, uplifting mood.

If you like to watch socially inept women forced into social interaction, and you want the comedic aspect of those interactions expressed, then you'll certainly enjoy this title, because that's what this is at its core. Liking meta jokes about the anime and manga industry tropes will also help you out here. Like I said, there are several titles like this running right now, but to me, what makes this one the best is Kazuko and how likable she can be without trying too hard. There aren't any absurd moments purely for comedy (like with Watamote), her reactions seem more genuine and this adds a certain tenderness to it that really gives this title the edge.

It's so hilarious that this young kid likes his older neighbor. She's a huge nerd for shotas and the fact that she hasn't picked up on her kid neighbor makes it that much more hilarious.

If you're a big fan of otaku like characters Kazuko. It was my first dose of understanding the female perspective of an Otaku. Which of course as I expected...over the top. Which is what makes me love those types of characters as well. Kinda reminds me of the heart warming spoiled kid.

Aizawa shoulda gotten in tons of fights or something, either way he was a fun character as well. I love ... yankee styled characters because of their ideals of justice.

I recommend you to read this. However, I don't know if it'll go any further than where I'm currently at which is chap. 15. If it does, this review might change.

This was so sweet. I love the shota/oneesan trope, but I always like it when it's pure and cute, such as this. Ryou is literally so precious. Oh man. And so is Kazuko, idk, but there's something about modest characters with glasses that I just adore.

This isn't very helpful for people actually deciding whether or not they want to read this (I will say that you should, it's light and cute), it's really just me gushing over how much I enjoyed this. <333

Like, even the side characters are nice. Anpanman is hilarious, what with his addiction to the shota oneesan trope (lol), and the girl ... with the gorilla mask and her best friend... Who would make an adorable couple when they're older btw !! TTOTT ... hehehe, I guess that's all. 10/10 from me. I want to see a Ryou confess already!! Please, mangaka sama, continue this manga !!! :'D
