This month we have two rather unique manga that are similar to each other in essence but the main characters are entertaining for different reasons. It's hard to find such perfect protagonists that are flawlessly cool and calm and they're so natural about it, that it's ridiculous! But that is exactly the point of these manga, that it's ridiculously perfect but amazing at the same time, Gotta say, I enjoyed these ones very much.
Sakamoto desu ga? (Haven't you heard? I'm Sakamoto!) by Sano Nami
Genre: Comedy, School Life, Seinen, Slice of Life
Status: Complete, 24 chapters scanlated
Many of you may already know this one since the anime finished not too long ago with quite positive reviews. Personally, I like the manga more since I feel that Sakamoto has more of that natural poise and elegance with still images but that's me hahaha. Basically, it revolves around how our hero Sakamoto manages his everyday average life with average people in an extraordinarily cool but natural way. It's like, everything he does is supposed to be ridiculous but when he does it, you can't help but think that he's cool instead hahaha! It's such an amusing and different manga. The comments on Batoto are gold as well, they've labelled him Swagamoto LOL.
It's definitely unique though since it's not exactly a manga that everyone will appreciate but if you read it and it's your thing, you'll definitely love the whole of it. Also, it only has 4 volumes so it doesn't downspiral into a repetitive manga but instead something we can appreciate ending on its own volition and exiting in its own cool status.
Gotta love Hayabusa-senpai the most hahaha, chapter 11 is my favourite with the hand-push sumo thing like omg. The taxi and everything, it was done so well, I was so damn impressed and absolutely loved it. I guess the great thing about this manga also is that every character finds a way to relish and revere in Sakamoto's greatness and everything is like so weird but the best at the same time LOL. It's just so crazily cool hahaha! Definitely a unique manga.
Machida-kun no Sekai by Ando Yuki
Genre: Romance, School Life, Shoujo, Slice of Life
Status: Ongoing, 7 chapters scanlated
This is like the epitome of a feel good manga (without the need of babies in manga healing you LOL). He's just like Sakamoto in that he's perfect as well but in a completely different way. Sakamoto would be perfect in every way but on the other hand, Machida is probably socially perfect even if he isn't perfect at cooking and other things like grades haha. The common thing between them would be their natural poise in executing their actions and in this manga, Machida would be on the same level as Sakamoto in that he's so natural about helping people. This one's got a bit of romance in it but it's the best fluffy kind <3
He also doesn't think that he's a cool person or that he's doing anything particularly exceptional or out-of-this-world kind of actions when he extends his help to others which really makes the reader feel like they could be like Machida and help and love people as much as he does. Also, he tries very hard to do everything even if he's not good at it and he's such a natural at making the people around him happy even if he doesn't notice it. He's such a sweetie.
My favourite chapter has got to be chapter 5 because of Kazumi-chan. I love how naturally appreciative he was of his Aunt's existence when she was feeling down about whether she really was of much help at all since her husband didn't understand how big of an impact her presence there could be for when Machida's mother is giving birth. It was such a good chapter, I teared. Definitely an awesome feel good manga that makes you wanna be a better person as well and help others around you. If only I was a natural like Machida! But I guess I gotta start off being as nice and kind as him first!
