Manga 118129 Jaken-san Wa Sugu Bureru

It's stupid, it's fun, and it's decently long while not being a slog. That's worth a 9 in my book. Also the gags have weird canon explanations and I'm always a big fan of that.

The review judge thinks that was too short, so I'll add some specifics: a lot of the comedy is situational and reactionairy in nature and hinges on the fact that the entire universe seems to be based on absurdity, which is a fact the characters comment on regularly (the main point of the protagonist is his ability to make "retorts" in reaction to the insane ideas most people have on a ... regular basis). This "lolrandom" sense of humour is omnipresent throughout the entire series and this could be a huge hit/miss for a lot of readers. If you don't like the series by chapter 10, don't feel bad about dropping it. If you are at all familiar with the sense of humour in the official Elden Ring manga, this is near identical in vibe.

I started reading this on a whim and I’m ditching it with a passion. I hate stories like this. I hate stories where a genuinely decent guy just trying to do his best is constantly shit on and treated badly for the sake of the “joke”. Lucas is a genuinely nice guy who just wants to keep his sister safe and protect her future, who is reacting in the reasonable way a person should react to everything that happens around him and all he gets for it is beat up, insulted, arrested, and mistreated. That’s not funny, that’s bullshit. In my opinion the only redeeming ... quality of this story is it’s art. If the story changes away from how it is currently acting in the future feel free to let me know and I’ll give it another chance but as of now, dropped and not recommended.
