I watched the anime first and going through the manga has been great but since getting into the content that wasnt covered in the anime I've been captivated page by page. The new characters brought in really add a nice dynamic, the frienemy Komi-chan (which I hope ends up on good terms with Tomoko) and the meddlesome homeroom teacher really draw Tomoko out of her shell.
I've been giggling like a retarded seal reading these latest chapters, some of the jokes are just so immature and shocking I love it.

Finally after re-reading the last few volumes over the last couple of days, I'm up to ones I haven't read before. After picking up the other volumes following a rather large break (over 2 years), it's interesting to see what my thoughts are on them now.
Let's just say the first couple of volumes made me very uncomfortable. But, as I got back into the style of writing and I begun to understand the protagonist, Tomoko again, it all began to make a lot more sense.
I think the series definitely picks up speed, so if you couldn't really get into the series in the beginning, it DOES get better.

Note: This series does have a lot of sexual innuendos, ecchi scenes and bad language, so viewer discretion is advised.

One of the most awkward things I've read in a while.

I still enjoyed Volume 6 of No Matter How I Look at It, It's Your Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular!, though I found it a bit slower than previous installments.

On the bright side, the introduction of the new girl and the whole "brother" misunderstanding had me absolutely rolling. The main character's assumption that the new girl's inarticulate fumbling meant "cock" was hysterically funny. Another standout chapter was the one where they hung their New Year's wishes on a Christmas-like tree, and of course, Tomoko being her delightfully "bad girl" self after doing something questionable. The ending of the final chapter was also laugh-out-loud hilarious.

Despite some weaker chapters, this volume still delivers a good time when it hits its comedic stride. A 3.5 out of 5.

If she were my sister I'd hate her.

I really enjoy this series and I like the growth that is happening to the characters, even if it is slow, I think the main characters failures are a really important part of the plot.

Our favourite hypocrite finally finds a way to talk to more people! Aaand... she's better at finding nemeses than she is at finding friend. Hilarity ensues.

Still a loner... (just like me...)

Tomoko blames others for her lack of popularity, but she is the cause. She constantly runs down other people and events; why should anyone like her?

How silly

[Say · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 I think I like the supporting cast more than tomoko.... it's becoming increasingly clear that the reason Tomoko isn't popular is actually because she has some very rude impulses....
But I guess that the tongue in cheek of the series title- people who are that socially inept rarely see it in a way that makes themselves think about things they do critically, and often trying to push the blame on others.... On the other hand, it's also comforting to watch someone f**k up to the point where you go "yeah, I was socially awkward.... but I never told any one (family or no) to show someone their c**k" I shit you not, Tomoko totally does this and then is clueless to why Komiyama hold a grudge....
On that note, Komiyama I think I liked more, because although she too has social issues, she doesn't seem to take it out on others (aside from getting her ass kicked by Tomoko at gaming)

I think I've had enough and I keep coming back for more... The main character is sooo unlikeable. I keep waiting for some kind of peek deeper into her psyche for some real humanity and vulnerability, but sometimes I think she has some kind of psychological disorder. Still, I feel pity for her. The big bummer to me about this series is how much I'm missing out on because of the plethora of Japanese pop culture references, as outlined extensively at the end. I suppose it's noteworthy that I'm still enjoying the series despite missing all the references...

It's probably one of my favourite manga series

[Daken Howlett · Rating 5 out of 5]

L'introduzione di Komiyama inizia a dare una prospettiva diversa alla storia e raddoppia la dose di situazioni tragicomiche!ottimo!
