Sure, You're entitled your opinion and certainly don't have to justify anything. You also don't have to post if you dont have anything worthwhile to add to the conversation.

Theme parks and water parks? That was quite random dude. I haven't been to that many in my life so i can't offer a comparative analysis.

I kind of agree with you but the latter has been done to death before in manga and thus the impact is lessened to a higher degree.

Then what is "development"? i'd certainly like to hear your view on it.

My "wall of text" is primarily intended to stimulate a comparative discussion between the two manga's, Anything else is a side-effect.

Yes and I'd like to debate upon these subjective opinions.

Well I'll disagree with you there, The manga instantly got "classic" status in my book about 10-12 chapters in.

Which brings me to my last point that since the plot is almost non-existent in both, KKOW is also better because it offers more lols than beelzebub.
