### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Relatable story. Well translated. Keeps the obscure references
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2016*

The RomCom series is an extremely nerdy book, but in a very Japanese-obscure way. I was pleasantly surprised to find that all the references to other nerdy Japanese pop culture references were preserved and not adapted (Replaced) for American audiences. Admittedly it does make it hard to read though, despite the reference guide at the end of the book that explains them (they should really just place the explanations at the footers of the relevant pages).That's said, the story is fun and relatable. Yen Press blurbs never really do any of their books justice, but it's a story about a guy who developed a strong perspective on teenage life and social relationship by being a outcast. Somewhat bitterly, but not in an  annoyingly angsty way. There is a lot of introspection that makes you think, "oh yeah, I remember thinking like that before," which makes hachiman such an endearing character. If you ever went through adolescence feeling like an outsider, I think you'll find something you can appreciate in this book.

    Perfect companion to the anime for those who enjoy reading
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2017*

If you're familiar with the anime "My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU," the book series is a wonderful supplement to that. The translation of this series is done pretty well, with only a few minor typos. The translator kept the spirit of the original work intact and chose some interesting ways of getting around the things that you cannot translate perfectly from Japanese to English. I've read this book now in both languages and I'm pleased with the translation. I just wish, with this series being rife with Japanese references and culture, that the publisher had stuck with the Japanese light novel page size (roughly 6" x 4"), or at least close to it, because this book is quite large (roughly 8" x 5.5"). That's just a personal preference, but still, the book's dimensions are a little oversized.The book itself starts out fairly slow, in the same manner as the anime, as it's the first volume and mainly serves to introduce the premise and characters. It's still an entertaining read, and you get a much larger dose of Hachiman's thoughts and motivations as the series is told from his first-person point-of-view. Anyone who enjoyed the anime and likes to read should pick this up.

    A great new series of light novels
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2016*

Better than the manga, this novel is hilarious fun. The manga has some spoilers for the novels, so I suggest you read the novels first. A colorful cast of characters, who in many cases are more extreme than your typical cast and feel fresh as a result.The dialog is the best part. Compare it to another series I love, D-Frag (manga) which also has good dialog. But most of the jokes in D-Frag are Manzai style two-man comedy. A typical Manzai joke is where one person (boke) says something that is dumb or outrageous and the second person (tsukkomi) calls them out with a witty comeback. The humor in this novel is a little more subtle and the outrageous things the characters say all have a kernel of truth in them, which makes it very funny.The representation of "outcast" in high school is very realistic. Also the thoughts of the protagonist about his outcast status are both thoughtful and funny. I'm rooting for Hachiman.
