One night, Nasa is walking down the street until he gets a fateful encounter with a beautiful woman called Tsukasa. One thing after another, Nasa asks her out and ends up marrying her. Tonikaku Kawaii tells the story of these newlyweds and how the couple's relationship will develop even though they've already reached the main goal. To me, this manga is the equivalent of rom com wholesome crack. This series has also cured my depression, increased my height 5 inches, solved economic inequality, and united the world effectively bringing world peace. Okay maybe most of that isn't true, but my point is I that I am a big advocator(~~simp~~) of this manga because it's awesome as hell! What follows will probably be incoherent and nonsensical ramblings as I continue to demonstrate how I am too passionate about something that not many people will be.
First off let us get our protagonists out of the way.
First, we have the man, the madlad, the legendary rare SSR male individual Nasa.
This dude is simply amazing, hes a smart lad as he grinded away in his studies and other things to become a real legend and show his dominance over anyone that makes fun of his name. In turn however, he is not very nerdy in other things like video games and other fun media which leads to many epic (for real on God) misunderstandings in the beginning. He is also straight up and very honest towards people which creates epic and hilarious conversations in this series. Overall, hes a GOAT.Next, we have the awesome cute and epic wife that is Tsukasa.
She's like pretty chill and honestly a cool person. She unlike Nasa has consumed a ton of media like the very movies and videos games that he can be unaware of. She honestly loves Nasa for the person he is which is very sweet and wholesome. She is also quite knowledgeable regarding the history of Japan, although weird that she seems to know so much that it's almost like she's lived through history itself (spoiler-140s) The side characters are all alright. I never found any issues with them, but there is the occasional trope or three that's one note and may not land with you. This could be repetitive which is a small downside to this. However, one side character that I would like to give an honorable mention to is:
Kaname Arisugawa
She at the beginning is mostly there to comment in and make some dirty jokes but I don't think I give her enough credit. She overall is pretty chill and is pretty responsible and mature given that she's also there to give advice to both Nasa and Tsukasa on stuff to improve their relationship. She also helps the couple when they're facing troubles not about the relationship. Kaname also occasionally teases them both when there's an opportunity, making her a bit of a troll and funny at times. I mention her because she's a great addition to the series and a good source of comedy if the chapters weren't already entertaining enough. Or maybe I'm just wrong idkSince I've already passed the character limit, I might as well say a few other things. The art is nice and while definitely not going to blow your mind or anything, does fit and compliment the story well imo. To list some bad things about this series, I'd probably say that it is possible that it will be boring as I could see people calling this repetitive as it is mostly sol. Another thing that could put off people is the question of "If they are already together, what is the point of the series?" as the progress and buildup of the two main love interests confessing to each other is gone, unlike examples like Oregairu/SNAFU or something more recent like Kaguya Sama: Love is War. If you are looking for that, maybe this series isn't for you.
The anime is a good option even though some chapters are skipped/moved around. I would say the manga is better, but honestly either should be fine. At the time of this review, season 2 has been confirmed but no release date has been given yet. When you would be finished with the anime, it would be up to you if you would want to wait or continue with the manga(should be around the 30s to 40s). I enjoyed the anime when it aired so I don't mind the wait since all tonikaku is good for me.
In conclusion I'm giving this a 100/100 10/10 100/10 the max score etc to this series. I will disclaim that I am not blessed with the art of constructing god tier analysis and deep reviews into series I see as I usually just nod my head to a series thats good, add it, rate it high, and call it a day here. But since I had time to kill, I decided I wanted to share my opinions about this manga in particular because it's just that raw based kino goat chad and peak. Take my review with many grains of salt as this ultimately is just unorganized ramblings that came up in the 2-3 hours typing this up. I hope by doing this, it has persuaded or convinced more people to check it out. I think there's a decent amount already but hey couldn't hurt to add a few more!
Thank you guys for sitting through this mess (This is my first one so i don't know if I did a good job or not). anyways.... GOATKAKU FOREVER fist up emoji fire emoji
