Lore Another Entry to the readaboutsomeoneworseoffthanyouandlaugh genre and the cryabouthowsimilaryouare genre. Watamote garnered so much love that anons from /a/ and /v/ sent the author their dick pics and laughed or cried at her responses. Years passed and the author got so much money and dick pics from her depressing manga that she wasnt depressed anymore. Oh no how can you make depressing manga when youre not depressed? The answer is you cant and unlike Hideki Anno who tried to continue sad Evangelion even after he was married and swimming in pools of money Nico Tanigawa pivoted out of cringedep and into yuri with grace. This made anons enraged. Noooo shouts the anon I am sad therefore my waifu must also be sad. How dare you make her happy. Noooo shouts the anon I have no friends. How dare you give my waifu friends. Dick Pics were once again sent en masse to poor Tanigawa except the intent was not love but rather hate. Parts Watamote has 2 parts. Part 1 is when Tomoko has only one friend and Watamote is beloved by anons. Part 2 is when Tomoko has a lesbian harem and Watamote was beloved by /r/anime. I rate Part 1 a 9/10 as it made great strides in the cringedep genre. I rate Part 2 a 7/10 because while enjoyable to read there are much better lesbian harem manga out there. Overall 8/10. Characters Part 1: Tomoki is Tomokos brother and the male audience surrogate. Yuu is Tomokos only friend who goes to a different school. After middle school Yuu reinvented herself and became popular. Tomoko hangs out with Yuu while calling her a slut in her mind and alternates between lusting and hating her. The unpopular glasses girl provides some good comedy and plays the straight man to Tomokos gags. Kii is the most interesting character in Part 1 as her disillusion with Tomokos antiinfluence corrupts her once cheerful personality into Yandere territory. Part 2: Tomoko doesnt have a boyfriend but she sure has a lot of girlfriends. The new characters overlap to the point of there even being inuniverse gags about them. One of the transition characters from part 1 to part 2 was the Yankee girl/abusive boyfriend trope who would punch Tomoko whenever she said something stupid. I dont remember the other characters that much because they are one dimensional and uninteresting. Conclusion Im happy that Tomoko found friends and happiness. The author has moved on to the fresher and funnier Number Girl. Anons to this day continue to seethe in rage over Tomoko becoming happy. I suggest you read Watamote from the beginning all the way until the Lesbian Harems class field trip and then stop because by that point you know Tomoko has friends and is going to end up just fine.
