i like how the author hindsigth his/her own work, and i love how ranmaru is so innocent, the way she approach tsubaki inviting him to spar, and he doing it without knowing what was happening was both hilarious and cute.

Read the first volume of this after hearing that the Gintama team was doing an adaptation for Sunrise and honestly it seems....pretty bad. I don't know, I just don't really see the humor in the whole hawt chick that has everything and just continues to get more of it because the universe all but bends over backward to give it to her. There's some gallows humor that reminds me a bit of Gintama and Momiji seems like a pretty amusing if over the top character, but Sakura would have to actually grow and learn something as a character to make this at all tolerable to any extent as an anime, but it looks like she's just getting everything to go her way regardless cause I guess that's supposed to be funny or something. Words cannot describe how much I hate her character archetype and the ineffectively used cynicism that typically goes behind it (I'm all for black humor and blunt portrayals of the way things are in life, but these characters always seem like they are their simply there for magical wish fulfillment and typically have poor development with regards to why the reader/viewer is supposed to like them) and I kind of have to wonder why the Gintama' team would seemingly get called off of the current season of that pretty awesome and funny show for something like this.

Seeing as you've only read one volume, your assessment isn't wrong, but I would suggest to keep reading. |

i personally think sakura is more the rich kogal type, and i actually love the serious bits and the character development in all that comedy,the story is not supposed to be taken seriously, yet it have some serious development in it, kinda how the tv show scrubs handled itself, i personally cannot wait for more manga or the anime.

The whole girl goes around and literally spreads happiness while being totally ridiculous and oblvious as to how she's being led to do it coupled with an equally colorful cast of supporting characters premise seems like a fit for the usual 100 or so chapters that Shueisha likes to get out of it's manga too so now I get why this is in Jump. Medaka Box which I may have mentioned though...juries still out on that one. With the worry that Sakura was going to be a clone of that character or a Kirino type out of the way I may check out the anime since the summer season will be lacking and Sunrise usually puts on a good production when it comes to adapting Jump manga. This rings pretty true. |

it's more like she's conditioned herself to not act or see things in such a way that normal people would, making her spiteful of most things, but she does change as it goes along. |

So rarely does the recommendation to read more work but the way this one doesn't stall on making its rough around the edges protagonist more relateable it does here. It also gets a lot more amusing from vol 3 onward too which is nice. |
