Love this series.

It is filled with extreme puns that will make you groan and laugh at the same time. The slapstick humor is hilarious, and the bizarre situations keep you on the edge of your seat.

However, because it is so "joke" heavy, it can be a bit overwhelming if you try to read it all in one sitting.

It's better to take it in small doses and savor each joke and crazy moment.

This way, you can fully appreciate the creativity and hilarity of the series.

Whether you're in the mood for a quick laugh or a more extended entertainment session, this series has something for everyone.

So, pick it up, relax, and let the laughter begin!

It's extremely hilarious. The way of teasing is so absurd that you can't find the essence. Teasing to the point where people around are confused and wonder if it's crazy or not. Laughing all the time. 5555. This kind of teasing often brings unexpected joy and laughter. It can break the dull atmosphere and make people relax. Sometimes, a little teasing can also enhance the relationship between people. However, we should also pay attention to the scale and method of teasing to avoid hurting others' feelings. In short, teasing is a double-edged sword. We should use it properly to bring more positive energy and happiness.

I got a little chuckle out of it.

It was quite amusing in a way. However, as I thought about it further, I realized that it's simply not for me.

Maybe it has its charm for others, but it doesn't resonate with my interests or preferences.

I can see the appeal, but it just doesn't click with me on a deeper level.

It's one of those things that you might find entertaining for a moment, but it doesn't have the staying power to truly engage me.

Nonetheless, I'm glad I had the opportunity to experience it and have a bit of a laugh.

But in the end, I'll be moving on to other things that are more in line with what I truly enjoy.

This is so stupid.

It's truly mind-boggling how something can be so lacking in intelligence and yet have such an odd charm.

I find myself completely drawn to it, despite its obvious flaws.

There's just something about its utter silliness that makes it endearing.

Maybe it's the fact that it doesn't take itself seriously at all, or perhaps it's the way it manages to make me laugh even when I know I probably shouldn't.

Whatever the reason, I can't help but love it.

It's like a guilty pleasure that I just can't seem to give up.

No matter how many times I tell myself it's stupid, I always find myself coming back for more.

And you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way.

Kamiyama makes a decision that he is going to attend the most badass high school in the vicinity. The reason behind this is that his best friend might have the chance to get in there. The name of the school is “Cromartie”, and it is filled with a whole bunch of tough degenerates. There are the normal thugs, and then there is a guy named “Freddie” who has never been seen to speak. Additionally, there is a Gorilla (no name given), and a robot dude whom no one seems to notice isn't human. Kamiyama is just an ordinary guy, but the Cromartie students seem to think that he must be REALLY bad if they can't figure out what his agenda is. He figures that he can learn anywhere, but to be honest, he really hasn't had much time to study all term due to all of the excitement that Cromartie has to offer.

This manga is really very amusing. Some people have claimed that the humor is perhaps hard to understand – too subtle. However, I don't think that's the case. It's right there in plain sight, and the author even includes funny asides within the story. It's not overly badass even though it portrays a tough guy image. There is very little profanity, and no sex. It's highly amusing and will probably appeal to both sexes.

I just couldn't get into this series.

But that's perfectly okay, considering that I'm definitely not the intended target audience for it.

I simply wanted to give it a fair try and see what all the fuss was about.

From what I can gather, I think it's probably extremely popular among young teen boys.

They seem to be really drawn to the storylines, characters, and the overall atmosphere of the series.

Maybe it's the action-packed scenes, the adventure, or the coming-of-age themes that resonate with them.

While it didn't quite click with me, I can understand why it has such a dedicated following among that particular demographic.

It's always interesting to see how different types of media can appeal to different audiences, and this series is a prime example of that.

Even though it wasn't for me, I'm glad that there are shows and series out there that can bring joy and entertainment to so many people.

Cromartie High School, created by Eiji Nonaka, is a unique comedy manga. The story follows Kamiyama, a high school first-year who decides to attend Cromartie High to be with his delinquent friend after junior high. However, his friend fails to get into the school despite its reputation for being easy to enter. The school is filled almost entirely with delinquents, including a robot named Mechazawa (whom most students treat as human), a gorilla, and Freddie, a mute who looks remarkably like Freddie Mercury.


The manga and its anime adaptation are both insane, which often makes them brilliant and hilarious. However, sometimes the lack of a real plot can make the scenes disorienting and hard to follow. Despite this, both versions of the series are highly entertaining. Cromartie High is the place where the dumbest and toughest youths in the area gather, spending their days obsessing over status and cool nicknames. Alongside the thugs and gang members, the school also has some rather strange students. There's Mechazawa, a technophobic robot that most students are too dim-witted to realize is not human, a gorilla that's smarter than all the other students combined, and a mute who rides around on a giant horse named Kokuryu and bears an uncanny resemblance to Freddie Mercury.


If you're in search of a complex plot, Cromartie High School may not be for you. But if you simply want a good laugh, it definitely kicks ass. For more manga and anime reviews, be sure to check out Hobotaku at http://hobotaku.blogspot.com/.

Silly. Just silly.

This is the only manga series I've ever read. At first, reading it backwards was a little strange. However, it was definitely one of the funniest series I've ever come across.

It's the kind of comedy that is completely random. I can understand if some people think it tries too hard, but for me, I absolutely loved it. :)

I have the same feeling about all three books, which is why I'm copy and pasting my review. It's one of those rare series where all three volumes are great.

The randomness of the humor keeps you on your toes and makes you laugh out loud. Each chapter brings something new and unexpected.

Even though it may seem a bit crazy at times, that's what makes it so enjoyable. I would highly recommend this manga series to anyone who loves a good laugh.

Whether you're a manga enthusiast or just looking for something different to read, this series is definitely worth checking out.

So, if you're in the mood for some silly and random comedy, give this manga series a try. You won't be disappointed.

This book is extremely humanizing when it comes to punks. It's laugh out loud hilarious!

Admittedly, initially, the old style of this book really deterred me from reading it. However, once I began, I was pleasantly surprised. In a sense, it's like a macho masculine version of Azumanga Daioh! The way it presents its humor is truly captivating. It also reminded me of "It's Your Guys Fault I'm Not Popular" in terms of its awkwardness humor. This unique combination of elements makes the book a truly enjoyable read. It manages to bring out the essence of punk culture in a light-hearted and entertaining way. Whether you're a fan of punk or just looking for a good laugh, this book is definitely worth checking out.

Humor is a very subjective thing, and it often doesn't translate well from one culture to another. What may be funny in one country might not be understood or appreciated in another. However, this doesn't mean that we can't enjoy the humor of other cultures.

For example, I really like Cromartie. Even though his humor may not always translate perfectly for me, I still find him entertaining. His unique style and antics always manage to make me laugh.

I think it's important to be open-minded when it comes to humor from other cultures. We may not always get the joke, but that doesn't mean we can't appreciate the effort and creativity that goes into it. By being willing to step out of our comfort zones and explore different forms of humor, we can expand our horizons and gain a better understanding of the world around us.

So, even though humor doesn't always translate well, don't let that stop you from enjoying the unique perspectives and laughs that other cultures have to offer.

I initially faced difficulties with the artwork.

As I was not acquainted with the school-punk genre of stories, it was a bit of a challenge for me at the beginning.

However, all the effort was truly worthwhile.

This might very well be among the funniest things that I have ever set my eyes upon.

The sheer absurdity of the stories and the characters is just... weird.

It's a kind of weirdness that is both captivating and entertaining.

The unique combination of elements in this school-punk genre creates a world that is full of surprises and laughter.

Even though I had my doubts and struggles at first, I am now glad that I took the time to explore and understand it.

It has opened up a new realm of creativity and amusement for me.
