YANKEE KUN TO MEGANE CHAN DRAMA SERIES
My advice? Read the first 7 volumes, enjoy them, and pretend that's where the series ended.Items in our store are second-hand and might have slight damage. Yoshikawa should have never let it get to that point, but as a first-time writer, one can empathize with her plight. Namely, the unrelenting pressure to keep going. If nothing else, the last 16 volumes of this manga indicate the flip side of any series attaining success. Having them all die in a tragic mercury poisoning accident after eating at the same sushi restaurant would have been more merciful than their actual fates. Personally, I could almost feel the author's hatred of the characters and desire to be rid of them. However, it all come to a head with the manga's conclusion, one so dire, lazy, and insultingly stupid that even the most ardent defenders of the series cried foul. While many readers noticed this huge drop in quality beginning with volume 8 or so, many others continued to enjoy it. And as it continued to degrade further, it became outright torture to complete a chapter. A manga that I would look forward to and laugh at gradually became dull when its plot holes and non-existent motivations weren't making it annoying. For instance, Izumi by volume 14 was a bland, irrelevant character despite having been an amusing, colorful scene stealer when first introduced. Instead of developing more personality and complexity, the central characters all became increasingly trite and one-note. They all invariably sucked, with each being an increasingly paler imitation of the main five introduced early in the series.
In an effort to break up the monotony, many new characters, including underclassmen, were introduced as the main cast aged. New scenarios were nonsensical pap that led nowhere. What to do? Canceling a popular series, especially the first hit for a young writer, was unthinkable.
And yet, every week, there was that brutal deadline for 20 fresh new pages. The manga was well-received and its sales were excellent.Įventually, however, she had run out of ideas for humorous adventures. And what do you know the duo went on more funny adventures, and new, amusing characters were introduced to the cast. The bespectacled heroine tries to convince the school delinquent, camping out in the bathroom, to go on a class field trip.Īfter this initial success, Yoshikawa was offered her own series based on the one-shot in a popular magazine at only 24. Yoshikawa knocked it out of the park, coming up with a creative, funny scenario involving two oddball, likable characters in Shinigawa, the "Yankee-kun" of the title, and Adachi, the "Megane-chan". She was a lowly 23 year-old assistant on "Fairy Tail" when she got a chance to write a one-shot in 2005. I can sympathize with author Miki Yoshikawa's dilemma. I know I am ranting here, but posts in other forums (after having read the ending) will tell you the same. Overall: 8/10 before the ending, 0/10 afterwards.
So, if you want to avoid a HUGE (!) disappointment after 200+ chapters, you'd better just skip this manga, because it leaves a VERY sour feeling.
This messed up ending is also the reason why I will stop reading the author's other manga (Yamada-kun and the 7 witches) out of fear that the author will do a similar mess-up. It simply destroys the complete manga and the whole backstory, which is beyond sad. So, let me tell you this very cleary: The ending is the However, I was mainly in it for the romance between the two main characters - although the development was really slow, I don't think it's necessarily a problem in a slice of life story like this. And let me tell you, untill the ending, the manga is really good. The problem with most of the other reviews is: They are outdated - written before the end of the manga. I have read quite a few mangas, but never before had I felt the need to write one.
