Intro: Nan Hao Shang Feng is a comedy about ordinary high school boys. It is simultaneously paradoxical and not. To use the word ordinary suggests no special qualities whilst also asserting the fact that said ordinary is indeed a ton of stupid interactions. The idea that absurdity in high schoolers is so common that it is no longer unordinary is nothing short of amazing. I mean what did you expect from high schoolers? It is quite a clever way to describe the entire thing and nothing could be more fitting. Reminds me of some variant of the boys irl meme. Example 1: Example 2: Review: Nan Hao Shang Feng is an exemplary school comedy that Ive seen in recent times. Being able to present sometimes relatable or at the very minimal realistic interactions between the two main characters themselves in such a way that is not only immaculate but also extremely funny delivering the joke perfectly. Every. Single. Time. It is truly unbelievable that such a thing could even exist. As a whole there isnt honestly a lot to go on about with Nan Hao Shang Feng other than the aforementioned statement of what it boils down to. Each individual chapter is way too simplistic which in itself is no problem at all it actually benefits. It may come across as an issue to some but it serves well in the grand scheme of things in this up and down world of fastpaced cuts of high school life. I do suppose nothing lasts so long anyway even worse if the joke did. That only happens if something truly major goes down which is rare for a real situation and is not seen in this webcomic either. Another thing I can really talk about is the chapter content which again is nothing out of the ordinary relative to average high school life. It is all just amplified in the hilariously real atmosphere the world has to give. It brings me nicely to the execution I should say more about. In comedy there is this tendency to use jokes and repeat the execution process point and humour across reiterating to the point of it being ok yeah that was good but nothing truly meaningfully funny. You have comedies where haha he fell over and touched her boobs hes going to get punched in the face now completely saturate an entire anime to the point of you literally knowing what will happen next. Sure I would say that it can still be funny I still find them funny at times nothing is inherently unfunny but that kind of consistency be it in a world that doesnt even have such logic in a hypothetical reality literally ends up being the equivalent of fried bread. This is partly what makes Konosuba a really good comedy it just takes the piss out of isekai with an honest cast of characters and setting. Nan Hao Shang Fengs realism with a direction that makes sense and is more honest to its own world really makes the webcomic only expel highquality funny moments that you can read nonstop and still find funny. The art is a huge help in this webcomic and might be a reason for why it is so good. Sure the entire thing is scroll down for more with panels taking most of the width on the screen but with detailed moments be it blur/dash effects to show ungodly speed or dynamic shots to emphasise the mood you place yourself in an environment where really anything can happen and it still be the funniest thing youve seen since Pickle Rick. Here are a few such moments: 600https://i.pin.com/originals/30/91/7a/30917ac67b564a2d7741f2a902641ab1.png 600https://.mghubcdn.com/file/hub/nanhaoshangfeng/42/4.jpg I should say that the character design in themselves arent bad at all it probably is more fitting in some aspects of making this more believable whilst concurrently not I suppose. One last thing I want to touch on before I leave is the hoyay factor. Sometimes that feeling does come across and honestly at least for me it doesnt harm this in the slightest. It makes things a little more interesting if in all honesty. Only wanted to go on about this for new people getting into this webcomic it is something that I dont know if such comes up a lot for chinese comics but considering how people sometimes impose that one story in a medium must mean all is the same I mean look at the negative stigmas of anime nonwatchers have I thought Id touch on it to say that it isnt even bad here probably even negligible and other comics may not be the same although I havent read much manhua to be fair. Final Words: I was supposed to write a review for this long ago but never did because I apparently never have time to do stuff like this anymore : but I got there in the end so that is cool I guess. Plus there are no reviews for this already which is odd to me since this is very popular. Guess I will be the first then lol. All in all this is something you really want to read and Id recommend it for people who want to go a bit diverse with a bit of manhua. In saying this however this is one of the few titles that are actually really good so once you take this I honestly have no clue what is left for you. But hey at least you would have seen something amazing that isnt just manga I guess. Id also highly recommend the following for the reasons: https://anilist.co/manga/85850/19Tian/ Higher hoyay than Nan Hao Shang Feng also has the same style and is pretty damn funny not as funny tho. A little more serious story in a good way. https://anilist.co/manga/85734/SQBeginWYourName/ Probably the most hoyay of the three. Incredibly wholesome and probably the best girls love story Ive read thus far. Same style. Also quite funny. More plot than episodic to it too. Also because I mentioned it:
