Tsugumomo

I will not do a review, I will promote this manga, because it does not do justice here: Less than 80%?! Seriously, what a underrated manga I am reading right now. (No spoilers, believe me, it's better for you).

Before, you must go and download the OST from the anime, look for your best songs and have fun, that's what you need to do FIRST. GOGOGO.

First of all, I want to make something clear: If you have read 1000 mangas or animes in what you have been living as a human being and you are picky with what you consume, you are going find this: BORING, "GENERIC", BAD, DISGUSTING, IMMORAL, ETC, ETC, ETC. ... and even more if you consider yourself as an "intellectual reader" which is what abound here today in My Anime List and AniList (if it is the case), STAY AWAY and do not force yourself. If not, if you are like me: someone who hardly takes a little reading and who has not expanded his borders; someone who gives the opportunity to something that catches his attention; that really does not allow himself to be carried away by third parties, but always has low expectations with what will consume. Dude, this manga is for you.

Second, this manga is filled (in a good way) with A LOT OF ECCHI. Something that I have noticed is that the Japanese industry and especially the South Korean one, it is the quantity (sometimes, unnecessary and abusive) of "erotic" scenes. From chapter 1 there is a breast hold from our protagonist. BUT, BUUUUUT, do you know something? It's been a while since I didn't feel bothered by something like that (Prison School does an excellent job taking it to the extreme in order to have fun, at least in the anime). I feel like the author enjoys doing these scenes. If you really are mature, you'll cope, have fun and admire this; trust me you won't regret it, if you are fan of awesome and well done ecchi moments that actually helps in characther development... Oh God, CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT? Also, yes... there is a combination between loli-shotacon... sorry, but wait, who cares actually? It's a manga, jesus.

Third point, It is a combination between seinen and shonnen. Like all shonnen, there is comedy everywhere and usually uses the same topics that have seen before: mc gets stronger, defeats enemies, super powers, blah, bla, blah. But, in Tsugugomo from one moment to the next we will go from a slightly soft comedy to a directly sexualized one ... And you know, it does it excellently, it's interesting. (Read the omakes, pay attention to the details, and after chapter 30 and you will see what I told you here). Also, Seinen is not only apply for ecchi, this can be very serious... I won't say much about this, because I need to read much more where things starts to be more hardcore (That's why the person who recommended me Tsugumomo, god bless you). The plot is solid, that conflict between Tsugumomos-Amasogis, the curses, how desires can damages a person and those around them, why everything is relaited to Kazuya, everything is well explain. It's pretty cool; I am engaged to the story, I want to know more about this world.

Fourth, the characters seems to have not charisma, but they are going to win your heart little by little, but effectivetly. The firsts chapters will not catch your attention, but little by little they begin to show their personality. Are they one-dimensional? I don't have the right to judge that, but I don't feel it. I am enjoying the development of all the characters. For example, when I introduced to the Sunao's family; the author did a well job directly, I totally laughed when I met them.

Oh, by the way, there are many gags and "recycled ideas", such as the typical exaggerated faces of our protagonist when there is something embarrassing or something like that, when he gets punchs by the girl who hits him every moment "for no reason" (Yes, there are, ironically haha); hold up, It's entertaining, I don't know why. At this point, I think I have attached so much affection to the characters created by the author (Sunao ... I hate her, you will see why, she has her reasons, but they are not enough to act in that bad way at least when she was introduced, but after some impotant event... The author gave her a great chances to change her behavior. However I am not going forget the events that occurred previously, THANK GOD this is not Aku no Hana, geeeeez)

I really all the characters, including Kazuya, surprisingly. He seems like that type of weak male character or "beta male mc"... This directly comes to our mind the MCs from Mirai Nikki or Aku no Hana, you know why I mean. Anyway, I could never have been more wrong, I have not been disappointed at any time with him. He only once has cried and I did not feel that that action was out of the place. I believe he is a good character and he deserves his own harem haha. The best thing is that in the most important moments, he shines and that is what is relevant, that's what everyone wants, JESUS. AGAIN: BE ATTENTIVE TO THE DETAILS, PLEASE.

Fifth and where it SHINES the most: Art in conjunction with good fighting dynamics like a good shonnen. The
art is simple sometimes and complex at other times, but there are some characteristics in common: solidity and beauty. Really, I'm always impressed. For a moment, everything is relaxed, calm as an slice of life vibe with a normal, decent, but catchy art; but, then we move onto a detailed and dynamic art of action, which is where It shines at its best. However, there are no details in backgrounds (sometimes, because when backgrounds are detailed, oh boy you can not believe that this comes from this manga), but the author makes up this as a pro to detailed the actions of the characters and redundantly, the characteristics of the characthers (Even the Amasogis are on the top)... So, I repeat again: Always be attentive to the details, read calmly and admire each chapter, whether it is action or ecchi a in your maximum splendour.

I don't want to extended this much more, but I'll make some changes in the future, maybe. It's not an objective review, This can not even count as a "review". I just did, because I totally agree that this is UNDERRATED.

In conclusion, """Does this manga contributes something to the industry?""" Well, that's up to you. Does it worthy? Well, that's up to you. Does it fun? HELL YEAH, do not even think twice, dude; there are monsters, demons, ghost lolis, nice mc, super powers, good and brilliant art, parody (You will see what I am talking about, read around chapter 13) comedy, ecchi, kisses, harem, etc, etc, etc... It's funny, entertaining, solid, brilliant, interesting, even you can feel the hype, you want know what would happened the next chapter. Everything that you can find only once, man

A must read before going to dense stuff like FMA, HxH, Gintama all those mangas that everybody should know.

I think this is the only manga that the author has... Well, sir, I love you. I am surprised with this. Man, I feel the author's effort, that passion in every chapter. Don't make comparitions bewteen this and another shonnen manga; that's the worst desision you can do everytime you are going to read a new manga, gosh. I showed a capture of some part of the manga to a friend and he said: "KnY+NnT+FMAB+Naruto" What a prick man, It's 100 times better than Naruto, NnT and KnY, geez. Read it, you'll have fun, I am totally sure about that. I know is not a MASTERPIECE, but gosh, why everyone hates something that is actually good?

Thank you for taking some of your time for reading this, I appreciatte it. Made a lot of grammar mistakes,I am not native speaker, but I will correct it for sure.

Have a nice day. if you are a woman, stay away of this manga, only for male audience.
