This might have been the funniest one yet. Perfect way to lighten my mood after spending all week slogging through schoolwork

[Daken Howlett · Rating 4 out of 5]

Le storie post viaggio scolastico che iniziano con questo volume rappresentano un'interessante evoluzione per la serie, non solo vengono introdotti nuovi personaggi che sono destinati ad avere un ruolo centrale nella serie, ma con loro vengono introdotte tutta una serie di nuove dinamiche con la nostra protagonista che, per la prima volta, non è completamente sola ma inizia a creare dei rapporti che si possono considerare di amicizia con i suoi compagni di classe...ma prevedibilmente riuscirà a rovinare tutto il possibile e finirà in situazioni estremamente umilianti...
Nonostante non sia un cambiamento epocale è estremamente interessante vedere una simile evoluzione caratteriale in un personaggio di una commedia scolastica, genere che normalmente non presenta questo tipo di caratteristiche con personaggi che rimangono incastrati nei loro ruoli per tutta la durata della serie o quasi...

So far I have really enjoyed reading this manga series and find it very interesting. Before I had read the manga I watched the anime and started to read the manga since I wanted more content and wanted to see how Tomoko´s story would continue. I can´t wait to read Book 10 :D

Tomoko is back to school and partly back to her loner habits. But, there is some progress on the friends front and slightly less criticism of others by her. In a century or two, she may even have friends.

Давно так не смеялся при чтении. Было очень приятно вернутся в эту серию и крайне неожиданно, что девятая часть внезапно стала минимум одной из лучших, а общий сюжет и герои действительно развиваются

Very funny awkward humor. Also one of the most realistic representations of social anxiety.

I like how this series progresses and how Tomoko finally somewhat has friends. I am a little sad the series is coming to it's end but also looking forward to the conclusion.

Girly got friends, good for her

It's nice to see Kuroki finally getting someone else to bounce her weirdness off of. And there were boys in this one! She's achieved a stunning amount of social interaction so far; I feel like a weird, proud mom. I did miss seeing Yuu-chan though...

Continuing to be soooo awkward! And yet, I can't stop reading it.

[Say · Rating 3 out of 5]

the cringe is (still) strong with this one.
I stand by the item I wrote for a previous installment of this series, if Tomoko didn't have such a low opinion of others she probably wouldn't act like such a awful person.... and if Tomoko didn't act like such a awful person, she probably wouldn't have such a low opinion of others.
Not as many laugh out loud moments from this series lately :/
