Even the author's character profiles are hilarious.

For instance, take this one: "I hope you're looking forward to finding out more about this character—even though I probably won't say anything else about him."

This kind of self-deprecating and witty description immediately grabs the reader's attention and makes them chuckle.

The author seems to be playing with the reader's expectations, creating a sense of mystery and amusement at the same time.

It makes you wonder what kind of character this is that the author is teasing about.

Is it a minor character with a hidden depth that will only be revealed in a later chapter?

Or is it a major character who the author is deliberately keeping under wraps for now?

Either way, the hilarious character profile adds an extra layer of entertainment to the story and makes you eager to read on and discover more.

The experience this time around was not as enjoyable as that of the first one. It seemed as if this particular attempt was overly forced. The jokes, instead of flowing naturally and eliciting genuine laughter, felt contrived and out of place. There was a sense of artificiality in the way they were presented, almost as if they were shoehorned in just for the sake of having jokes. This lack of authenticity detracted from the overall charm and entertainment value. It made me compare it unfavorably to the first encounter, which had a more organic and engaging quality.


Perhaps the creators were under pressure to outdo the previous installment and ended up sacrificing the spontaneity and ease that made the first one so appealing. As a result, this one failed to capture my attention and leave a lasting impression. It serves as a reminder that sometimes, less is more, and trying too hard can have the opposite effect.

Hahaha, this series is truly off-the-wall hilarious! It never fails to bring a smile to my face and make me burst out laughing. The characters are so unique and the storylines are completely crazy. Each episode is filled with unexpected twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat. The humor is both witty and absurd, making it a joy to watch. Whether you're in a good mood or a bad mood, this series is guaranteed to brighten your day. I can't get enough of it and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good laugh.

More randomness! This is what makes our world so interesting. There are countless unexpected things happening every day. And here's an interesting fact: the guy over there is a student robot, but only a few people realize this. He looks just like a regular student, walking around, attending classes, and interacting with others. But beneath his seemingly ordinary exterior lies a world of advanced technology and programming. He has been designed to learn and adapt, just like a human student. However, most people don't give him a second thought, assuming he is just another face in the crowd. Little do they know that he is part of a new generation of robots that are changing the way we think about education and learning.

This installment is not quite as excellent as the first one.

There is a greater dependence on callback humor, which might not have the same impact as fresh and original comical elements.

The attempt to develop two rival schools has unfortunately led to a thinner cast. With more focus on the rivalry, some of the characters don't get the proper development and screen time they deserve.

Moreover, Mechazawa is completely mistreated in this volume. He is not given the respect that he should have received. It's really a pity to see such an interesting character being sidelined and not being utilized to his full potential.

What's more bizarre is that he is not portrayed as macho enough. This aspect of his character could have been enhanced to add more depth and complexity to the story. Overall, while there are still some enjoyable moments, this volume has several不足之处 that prevent it from reaching the same level of quality as the first one.

Volume 2 was not nearly as entertaining as Volume 1.

It seems that the author has simply thrown together a random collection of different ideas that he came up with.

These ideas lack a common plot, and as a result, the story feels disorganized and all over the place.

It really doesn't cohere well at all.

While there are indeed some amusing moments sprinkled throughout the volume, they are not enough to make it as funny as the first one.

The overall lack of a unified narrative makes it difficult for the reader to fully engage with the story and enjoy it to the same extent as Volume 1.

It's a bit of a disappointment, especially considering how much fun the first volume was.

Hopefully, the author will take a more cohesive approach in future installments and give readers a more satisfying reading experience.

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. That's 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 makes it truly unique. Each page is filled with unexpected twists and turns that keep you laughing out loud.


Even though it may seem a bit odd at first, once you get into the rhythm of it, you'll be hooked.


I highly recommend this manga series to anyone who loves a good laugh and doesn't take themselves too seriously.


It's a refreshing change from the typical manga out there and is sure to bring a smile to your face.

LOL - I find myself laughing aloud constantly while following the absurd antics of the boys from Cromartie High School. This manga series has truly been a pleasant surprise for me, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Initially, I had expected it to be really stupid and dumb, but to my delight, the humor, both the subtle and the not so subtle, is consistently hilarious. Every time I pick up these books, I can't help but chuckle.

Volume 2 continues to showcase the mechanical student Mechazawa, who remains blissfully unaware that he's not human. Additionally, the boys encounter a hijacking during a class trip, which has significant consequences for Takenouchi, who is prone to motion sickness. And to top it off, Freddie gets a horse - a really big horse.

If you haven't started reading this manga yet, I highly recommend you do. It's extremely difficult to put into words exactly what makes all of this so funny. You really have to experience it for yourself by reading it, and then you'll understand the hilarity that unfolds within these pages.

Overall Rating: Manga - B? / Anime - A-

Synopsis: Cromartie High School by Eiji Nonaka is a captivating comedy manga. It revolves around Kamiyama, a high school first-year. He decides to attend Cromartie High to be with his delinquent friend after junior high. However, ironically, his friend fails to get into Cromartie, even though it's often said to be easy to enter. The school is predominantly filled with delinquents. There's a robot named Mechazawa, and most students treat him as if he were human. There's also a gorilla, and Freddie, a mute who bears an uncanny resemblance to Freddie Mercury.


This manga, along with its anime adaptation, is truly insane. Most of the time, this insanity makes it absolutely brilliant and has me laughing out loud. But at times, it can be overly bizarre. One issue is the lack of a real plot in the series. This makes some scenes disorienting and difficult to follow.


That being said, both versions of the series are highly hilarious. Cromartie High is the place where the dumbest and toughest youths in the area gather. They spend their days fretting about status and who has the coolest nickname. Besides the thugs and gang members, Cromartie is also home to some rather strange students. This includes Mechazawa, a technophobic robot that most students are too dim-witted to realize is a robot. There's a gorilla that's smarter than all the other students combined, and a mute who looks remarkably like Freddie Mercury and rides around on a giant horse named Kokuryu.


If you're seeking a complex plot, this might not be the right choice for you. But if you simply want a good laugh, Cromartie High School is an excellent option.

Yeah, it's not for me.

I have come to this realization after much thought and consideration. It seems that whatever this thing is, it just doesn't fit into my life or my interests. Maybe it's a task, a relationship, or a particular activity. But no matter what it is, I know deep down that it's not meant for me.

I could try to force it, to make it work, but I don't think that would be the right thing to do. It would only lead to frustration and unhappiness. Instead, I think it's better to accept that it's not for me and move on. There are so many other things in life that are waiting for me, things that will bring me joy and fulfillment. So, I'm going to let go of this and focus on those other opportunities.
