Well. Here I am, writing my very first review on this site, and it just so happens I chose Ojojojo. I suppose I'll do what everyone else does and break my review up into different sections: Plot, Characters, Art, Overall Enjoyment, and my personal thoughts that you may or may not care about.
Just to be safe, I'll tell you beforehand there will be minor spoilers. Proceed at your own risk. Okay? Alright, let's move on.
Plot: 90/100
The story starts off in a school environment and essentially details the romantic development of the two main characters, Kawayanagi and Haru. As the story progresses, other dynamics, situations, and relationships are introduced, but I'd say a good third of the manga focuses on the two main leads. The plot itself seems like your run-of-the-mill high school romance plot, but read on and you'll actually find it's very original, including some unique twists and turns the author threw in to enhance the story -- which worked out, at least for me.
Characters: 86/100
While we do see the case of a classic tsundere (Haru), what I think sets this manga apart from others is the distinct personality of all the characters. Yes, even the side ones. In all reality, this manga does an exceptional job at making you care about other characters aside from the "main" two. Each of the characters fit together really well, and I don't think I read a part where the character's actions or behaviour felt out-of-place and not indicative of their established personalities.
Art: 80/100
I'm a sucker for cutesy art, and if you are too, then you'll probably enjoy this more than others. I first found out about this manga through the author himself, since he was also the one behind Kobayashi-San's Dragon Maid (Which was really good), so I decided to try out his other works. Everything, from the background, to the character designs, just absolutely screams "MOE!" to me.

We even get a brief cameo from Kobayashi! :D
Only significant downside I can see from the art is that it was too simplistic, which isn't completely true, but I do think the story would be better if the art was a tad more refined and detailed. For the most part though, it's more than adequate.
Overall Enjoyment: 96/100
I can personally and truthfully testify that I enjoyed every living second I read this manga. Only reason why it's not a 100/100 is because I was joggling another manga and some anime in addition to this, which likely split my interest for this manga. But then again, whenever I was reading this, you can be damn sure I was having fun.
Final Thoughts: I think the 4-koma comic format enhanced the story, but then again, just my opinion. If you either like romance, comedy, cute art, or anything related to the aforementioned genres, I would definitely give this manga a shot. Even for those who aren't fond of these genres, still try it out. It didn't take me too long to finish, and there's no harm in dropping something you dislike.
TL;DR Plot is very good, Characters are very good, Art is good, and I really enjoyed the manga.
Thanks for taking the time and reading my first review! Tips and comments on my reviews are greatly appreciated! :)
