Let me just say this about Oresama Teacher - don't read it if you're in a library. Don't read it at one am when you're supposed to be in bed. Don't read it in the computer lab during class.

No. If you're going to read Oresama Teacher, do it somewhere secluded where you can laugh your ass off like an idiot without getting in trouble.

Although the plot can sometimes feel just a wee bit confused and you sometimes want to hit yourself at how dense the characters (really just one) can be, this is definitely not a manga you want to miss reading. ...

Is this really the typical shoujo manga where a spineless heroine is being courted by 7 delinquents? NO.

This is a hilarious shoujo manga that often mistakes itself for a shounen with all the fighting bosses and such. When I read the first chapter I was like 'Meh. Good, but I feel like I've read this before'. I warn you: Do not be fooled.

Since then, I have been laughing my head off and the strange situations the lead girl gets herself into. The art is quite good, complementing the story well. The character interactions are all very amusing too, and do serve somewhat to develop character.

There are a lot of words I could use to describe this but only one word gives it justice, it is hilarious!

I love shojo manga. Imagine my surprise when I start reading this and there’s no mushiness or love triangle but I love it!.

Sure, she’s a girl and wants love but she’s not crazily looking for a boyfriend, she’s more outside fighting crime. Her focus is "love and peace" and I ma sure if Sailor Moon would have been a little bit like our heroine here she would have had double the fans. Even if a romance develops, which it can given ... the way the mangaka left doors open for it, I have a feeling it won't be your typical romance seeing as she's not your typical hero.

Even though she is small, it works for her, she is amazing at fighting, taught by the best at the time and hates bullying and unfairness. The only drama or hair pulling you will see in this manga is when she is trying to untangle her hair after a fight.

The story captivates you, be it with their jokes, art or characters. You'll see Mafuyu disguise herself and fight crime and it being ridiculous that no one guesses who she is, even though it is obvious. There really isn't any specific plot, this is just the life f Maufy trying to be normal but getting caught in a whirlwind of trouble and fighting.

Characters:
The moment you flip a page you meet Mafuyu, a delinquent who get’s caught doing deliquent things and being on her last strike she gets kicked out of her school. She has an amazing attitude and is loyal to the core and chivalrous. Not many girls can you say that about. She isn’t afraid of anyone, mainly due to a bunny incident that changed her life (see chapter 2). She is a great protagonist not in a serious way, this is by no means a serious or romantic manga. And that’s what makes it great

Hayasaka just adds to the story, he is a delinquent himself, no past story so far, but you could sense he has one. He, contrary to popular belief, does not like fighting but feels like he has to. He was labeled unapproachable by other students in the school but Mafuyu broke down his barreir without him knowing it. No really he hasn’t noticed they are friends. Can you say dense? Not many people know this because they don’t really talk to him but..he’s an idiot, I say that with love.

Saeki Takaomi is the teacher and obvious from the end of the first chapter that he’s her old friend from when she was little. He’s still a mystery and his character is a little sketchy, with the whole bet thing. And in the words of Mafuyu, “why would a delinquent become a teacher?” He’s always annoying Mafuyu but helping her when she needs it.

The art was good. Mafuyu does make the funniest expressions, along with Hayasaka. At the beginning when the teacher was first introduced they made him look huge next to Mafuyu but later on it changed, I guess Mafuyu grew… The art wasn't meant to be beautiful instead it's what gave the manga that extra push to hilarious. Though the art is important to the story since it adds the lol factor, the characters and storyline are what make this manga hilarious, IMO.

Overall it deserves a 10 just for humor.

For those shoujo manga fanatics who love only the purest of shoujo manga and who got lured in by the shoujo manga art, this may or may not be the manga that you might want to read. For the people who love comedy, please do not judge this manga based on the shoujo-ish art as it has got some real rib-tickling stuff that is absolutely enjoyable. In other words, when it comes to this manga, the saying 'Do not judge a book by its cover' holds good for both the above mentioned criterion.

PS: Do not be perturbed by the mention of Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun (GSN) ... and in no way I am comparing this manga to that.

STORY (8/10):
I randomly came across this manga a week back and the enjoyment eclipsed some of the vague and intermittent disappointments by a large margin while reading it. Oresama teacher is a manga which has a female mangaka drawing shoujo arts but has a good amount of shonen related stuffs including delinquents, action and some heart-warming comedies. The first dozen chapters or so moves in its own pace and undertakes a more episodic route rather than having arc based storyline. This probably was done to lay the foundations for the characters and their developments so that the readers get acquainted with their behaviorism. At some points, the story was dragged and you might start to wonder 'when this chapter is going to end?'. Some people, while reading this manga, will find it irksome about the myriad of flashbacks and how the manga suddenly jumps to the characters' pasts. Even though it will test the patience, the pasts will actually be funny but sweet and emotional at the same time.

ART (8/10):
A shoujo manga consisting of delinquents will necessarily consist of handsome guys that the female readers can fawn over countless amount of times and this manga, just like your typical shoujo manga does not shy away from doing just that; and the smiles, flowery backgrounds and screentones just accentuates the delinquents to a whole new level. The art is good and you can actually witness changes in the style with which the characters are drawn as you keep on reading the manga - meaning, the art kept on improving as the chapters kept on increasing. One vital point to note is the characters' facial expressions to express the emotions. It actually felt close to reality while witnessing those expressions and weirdly it was reminiscent of GSN (which coincidentally is another work of the mangaka) and was like watching it with only the settings and the premise differing. Since delinquency is involved, do not expect those over-the-top action sequences and fight scenes as this manga shies away from that big time.

CHARACTER (8/10):
A former yankee trying to live and strive to achieve a rose-colored high school life is what the synopsis points to, but with the amount of quirky characters and their weird and unique personalities (including Mafuyu) that is endemic only to them, she is thwarted almost every time from achieving her goal. Gekkan Shoujo's main + was its tremendous amount of exposure given to the characters and it seems it just harnessed that trait from Oresama Teacher just like that. Characterization is really great and when the art and story is compared to the characterization, the latter eventually prevails. The jokes and comedies put forth are filled with realism for the most part and the misunderstandings and the dense aura that some characters give off makes reading this manga even more merrier and worthwhile.

ENJOYMENT (8/10):
Like I said before, this manga sometimes takes the slow approach and almost certainly has a myriad of jumps to the characters' past. It might get irritable at many instances, but those moments will definitely not force you to put this manga on-hold or drop it. The timing of the jokes are so perfect that you will not see them coming albeit you will feel that at that situation, only a joke would have been a warrantable option. Considering this is a shoujo manga, it is an obligation that the girls must be beautiful and cute; with their cheery and gentle smile and the blushing and flustering. All these including action, comedy and delinquency are mashed up to provide us Oresama Teacher.

OVERALL (8/10):
At the moment, there is substantially only one major arc in the manga and it is still continuing. Surprisingly or unsurprisingly, the romance and shoujo-ish scenes are very scarce. Do take note of the interactions between the characters. You will be pleasantly surprised to find that some of their interactions and conversations will be natural without any external forces acting. It was a delightful read to say the least.

One regret is; I watched and followed GSN on a weekly basis before reading Oresama Teacher. Many a times, you will reminisce about the characters from GSN while reading this manga if you had done what I did. I felt that the facial expressions of the characters from GSN was incorporated from Oresama. It is advisable that you read this and then follow it with GSN as this is purely golden.

Oresama Teacher to me is that one manga that you just keep checking in on and following on and off over the years until it's finished, and now that the manga has finally ended I'm glad to say that it was worth all the waiting.

Every character is loveable in their own way, everyone is absolutely ridiculous, and the plot is bonkers. I have never laughed so hard at any manga.

Like the synopsis says, Mafuyu gets sent to a really crappy high school up in the mountains because she got expelled from her old high school, and no other school will let her enroll. ...

This manga is pretty sneaky, I used to have it in my #3 spot in my Manga Favorites, but somehow it made its way up to #1? ;) So before I review this, let me just say, this manga is only amazing if you LOVE to laugh. Im not talking about a gag here and there, or a giggle that you can stifle if someones around. I mean the kind of laughing that gives you abs and makes your eyes water. So hide in your room, and bite a pillow before you start to read.

Story-10: I have read this manga countless(and i mean COUNTLESS) times, ... and each time I read it, I wonder what it would be like to be inside the head of the author that wrote this.
To start with, the story has a unique outlook: a delinquent, who never intended to be a delinquent, forced to live the normal life shes actually always wanted. She gets this chance of a lifetime to turn her life around and wipe the slate clean, except before she can even start her new school, trouble comes walking in, and its and old familiar trouble from her past...
There's a subtle romance through the whole manga, just enough to keep you hooked but not enough to smother your anti-mushy readers. And one more thing, the story is just random enough that you never see what's coming next, so don't worry, this one will keep you guessing for sure.

Art-10: Maybe its only my personal opinion, since I suppose there's nothing that really stands out as AMAZING in this manga, but the art is really well done in my opinion. All of the expressions are perfectly hilarious and the movements are super funny! The timing is flawless, each pause in every conversation was drawn in a way that you can hear the witty banter in your head.

Characters-10: QUIRKY. Totally unique personalities that you absolutely cant help but to fall in love with! All of the characters are adorable and all of the delinquents are so funny and sweet. Yes, this is mainly a comedy manga, but don't think for one second that the characters are shallow. Even the ones that are supposed to be dumb are pretty damn insightful. If for some unknown reason you absolutely hate everything about this manga, I can almost guarantee you will completely love all of these characters.

Enjoyment-10: This, I thought, was probably the most enjoyable manga I've ever read. No, it absolutely was. PERIOD. I laughed harder reading this than any other manga I've ever read, and there were no missing elements at all. Nothing I could point out and say, "If it only had this, it would be perfect." Definitely in my top 5 favorite manga of all time! But currently? MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!

Overall-10: If you like reading not-so-typical rom-com's this is your new favorite, so please- READ IT!

Are you tired of reading a typical shoujo manga? Are you irritated of typical shoujo manga main heroine girl? Then allow me to introduce a shoujo manga that will fit to your taste. Since this is my first time writing a review I will surely do my best to show you guys on how this manga is outstanding for me.

First of all, the main heroine girl which is Kurosaki Mafuyu is NOT like any other heroine girl in a shoujo manga that is wimp, crybaby and most of all irritating. Although in terms of romance subject she is extremely SLOW, to the point ...

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (100/176 chp)

In Short, Oresama Teacher is a good manga. The plot suffers in places and the art suffers from some common failings, but the characters are mostly original, and there is enough enjoyment gained from reading that it is a good casual manga.

STORY

Oresama Teacher's pacing is sort of the worst thing about the manga. The general plot isn't bad, and is in fact a good hook--delinquent girl must hide her unscrupulous past while fighting to save a school from closure, all while making friends (tm). It's a bit generic, especially the friendship-gathering, but the facet of hiding Mafuyu's past delinquency is interesting.

But--and that is a huge ... but--the way the mangaka paces this manga is poor. I often find myself utterly confused as to what is happening and why. The manga is released monthly (more or less), and every month, I'll have forgotten what the past chapter covered, and will then read sixty pages of confusion. I've taken to writing a small summary of where the plot is, and reading it whenever a new chapter is released.

This happens for two reasons, I believe. First, the manga doesn't really recap what happened last time very well. It feels like they are simply drawing the next page, instead of opening the next chapter. Second, the plot itself can be, at times, unclear. Why are they doing that? What are they doing it for? I don't know! This is likely a two-part issue: an average translation, stacked on top of an already-vague narration.

ART

The art is standard fare for your average manga. In general, people are drawn well--nobody suffers from stupid-face. It's very representative of the style towards which many shoujo manga have moved in recent years. However, there are two major flaws which come from this industry-wide art shift.

First, many characters resemble each other greatly. There are very few women in this manga, and tons of guys. This is a problem, because the mangaka seems to have a limited set of eyes + hair + size to work with. The art is not greatly detailed, so the characters tend to blend together.

Second, backgrounds are often just gradients, or slapshod drawings of lockers or doors. It's not very detailed, basically. This isn't as big of an issue as the last problem; in the end, this is not a manga to write home about. It's one you read because you like reading manga; it's not trying for any prizes.

CHARACTERS

The characters are surprisingly interesting. There are few trope or stock characters that truly exist. There are plenty of delinquents, and while they appear standard, they often show depth of personality (or at the least interesting traits).

Mafuyu in particular is nice to see. For whatever reason, she's absurdly strong, but her personality is not shoehorned into the Strong Female Character trap. She's dense, and plain, and dorky, but in ways which are utterly normal. She's well written, and a great female action MC

ENJOYMENT/OVERALL

Despite the faults in plot pacing and art, this manga isn't half-bad a read. As said earlier, it's nothing to write home about, and it knows it. It's not trying for anything profound, or weaving a grand tale. It's like reruns of CSI or Seinfeld--it's something that you read when nothing else is happening, and you enjoy it, and then you are done with it. For that purpose, I'd recommend the manga.

Oresama Teacher is one of the most unshoujo shoujos out there which is not a bad thing. If you are looking for romance story or the typical shoujo stuff, this is not for you. Oresama Teacher does have romance and implications of it but it's not the focus. It's more on comedy and the power of nakama/ friendship.

Even as a unshoujo, I still adore Oresama Teacher. The cast is endearing and the humor's completely over the top. As someone who absolutely hates misunderstanding arcs, they are not obnoxious at all in Oresama. It's pretty funny and well written. You can't quite get to hate any ...

I thank it can appeal to both male and female because it has the feeling of a Shounen, and a Shoujo manga and throw in a little comedy, romance, and action along with a bishie boy here and there whats not to love?

I believe anyone who reads this will love it and if they don't maybe it just wasn't the right manga for them.

Oresama Teacher was a bit of a sleeper hit with me. A less than fantastic start, with a bit of a messy art style.

Then it shaped up.

(Story: 9.)
All way through, it's hilarious - but I think it's clear that the start is a bit typical for a romcom. Awkward meetings, random blushes, the load. It's nice, but it's not handled too well, which is the only reason why it has a point off, along with the fact that Tsubaki introduced too many characters, too fast.

It's not a typical shoujo for a simple reason: it's not about the romance. It's about friendship. The first 80, 90 ...

Story- (10) The story's compelling, sweet, and hilarious. Mafuyu was the banchou (head of a gang) of her old gang, before she gets caught by the police. She goes to a new school with the ideals to become a perfect lady, or something along those lines. There, she meets new and old friends and allies. The story's not confusing, which I really appreciate when I'm reading humor. It has some dark tones in a way as well, but overall, I love the story to bits.

Jesus let me say right off the bat this manga is in my top 5 which is pretty insane cause I'm really picky with mangas. PS If you're coming here after reading Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki kun, you're in for something so similar but so different (but in a good way!)

Just as Gekkan Shoujo is very comedy based it's very present here! Let me tell you I seriously can't remember any other manga where I've actually laughed out loud so many times. This is seriously freaking hilarious. If you especially love the comedic style of GSNK then you'll love this one (considering it's from the ... same mangaka lol) Anyways branching off from the comedic aspect the plot is kinda heavy as well. It was actually shocking to me when I got up to it but it was a good shock. The beginning is light hearted and hilarious but as you get deeper into it, it's not just that. I've actually cried while reading this (idk if that was the mangakas goal or if i'm just super sensitive BUT I FEEL FOR THE CHARACTERS OK) Ultimately I think thats what makes this manga extremely charming. It keeps you going and interested because it's not just comedy. Not gonna lie I love laughing but It brings it to a whole other level when you realize that these characters have a depth to them as well.

The only thing else I would have to say about the plot is that if you're expecting to see more romance then in GSNK gurl sorry to disappoint. I WAS EXPECTING SOME MORE LOVING 2 OK BUT NOPE. The mangaka sprinkles it here and there but It's just every time there is a romantic situation 99% of the time it turns from (oh god the romance is finally happening) to (jk lets make this comedic). So the romance is there but the characters don't take it seriously. At this point idk if the mangaka is planning to just end it on a comedic note rather than a serious one but I'm hoping for the romance to at one point be seriously present. Cause this manga is fully capable of that happening without it being too wtf.

Now speaking of the characters, the mc Mafuyu is absolutely amazing. I love her so much WEHFWRF. SHES SO FUNNY AND ADORABLE AND DUMB BUT UGH SHES PERFECT. <3 I really can't explain her any further you'll just have to meet her yourself. Anyways, now I'm that girl who seriously hates when mangakas delve into the lives of the side characters bc most of the time i could give a sht less right? But with this manga I've never once thought "ugh can we get back to the mc now?" BECAUSE I JUST LOVE ALL THE CHARACTERS SO MUCH. They're so adorable and ugh seriously I love them ;-; and YOU WILL TOO.

The artwork is extremely enjoyable and smooth. The characters each have their own charm and distinguishable characteristics. I've read mangas where the face never changed and the only distinguishable thing was their hair and it sometimes honestly would confuse the heck out of me because I couldn't really tell who was who?? Idk if im just stupid but I really appreciate distinct characters and this mangaka does just that.

Overall would I recommend? HELL YES. It's funny but has an actual plot which GSNK lacks. If you want another GSNK but deeper this is the one for you! Seriously read this and you won't regret it.

I really enjoyed this manga (still is). You laugh at so many random moments and just think the characters sometimes are plainly stupid. This is the type of manga where you can go back to reread. But you will still enjoy it even though you've already read it.

Story: 9
The story is fairly simple. You read about how the girl, Mafuyu, adapt to the schools and make friends. It gives a twist and makes Mafuyu confront the thoughts of being a delinquent. Does she choose to stay a delinquent or not. Instead she makes the compromise ...

This manga is in piece a beautiful masterpiece. True, there are undoubtably better manga/anime out there, but I enjoyed this. Kurosaki Mafuyu is a former delinquent. Former, because she's trying to hide it and change it—though I must say she's not doing a very good job at it. :P

It's a happy mixture of drama, romance, and simple bad-assery. If you don't want a small spoiler, skip to the next paragraph. Mafuyu cross dresses at some point to fight when she needs to, and let's be honest. You and I would probably turn gay for that. xD

This is my very first review, so, it's not really that good. Here are my thoughts about this manga.

Story:
The story doesn't seem to be like almost every shoujo manga ever. It's very original. And it's Hilarious! (I mean, I can't stop laughing when it comes to "USA-CHAN MAN". Anyways, back to the review) So, I'd rate it 10/10.

Art:
The art's wonderful, and I really love Tsubaki Izumi-sensei's works. (One of her works: Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun) I'd rate it 9/10.

Character:
The character types are very original and somewhat, not cliché. 10/10
