Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto, Vol. 1 by Nami Sano

The story revolves around Sakamoto and the people that admire him, adores him, envies him, and try to outdo him in and out of their class 1-2. Have you heard of the guy in class 1-2? He's so majestic, he's amazing, and he is the epitome of perfection in every way. Here's my take after reading all 24 enigmatic chapters of Sakamoto Desu Ga? by Nami Sano. Check first few chapters if you like the humor and if do, I'm sure you'll enjoy the rest of it.

Personally, while this manga offers a constant barrage of comedy, only a part of it resonated with and made me laugh while everything else usually just fell flat.įun factor: being only 4 volumes long and therefore not taking much more than 3 hours to read I think it's a very worthwhile read. I say hilarious but your mileage might wary as with any comedy manga and since Sakamoto doesn't offer anything but gags it will very much decide how much you'll like it.

Excelling at mundane to unusual tasks in unexpected and hilarious ways. Have you ever seen a grade schooler rent adult video while hiding his real age with Bond level calculation and agility? How about hiding from lovestruck housewife by pretending to be transported inside a tv? I doubt it and Sakamoto is all about this. While yes, the punchline is always that Sakomoto is perfect at absolutely everything, it's the situations in which he excels that makes it funny. He's just too good! You might already think 'oh, another one joke comedy, how original' to which I'd say be sour somewhere else. Story: comedy of Sakamoto is as stated in the synopsis. What I'll not though is that it doesn't shy away from some difficult poses which alongside perspective is a difficult thing to draw right.Īside from that nothing special, backgrounds are about average so not much to say about the. However rigid expressions sometimes do the opposite. As this a comedy manga I think some of this can be discounted since at times bad art can only There's bad perspective all over the place, the variety in faces is rather minimal when not exaggerated for comedy and facial expressions come from a very limited when not specifically exaggerated. While it's not terrible, it's hardly good either. I want to say that this manga is a perfect 10 with no flaws much like Sakamoto himself but unlike the titular character, it falls just a bit short in every way.Īrt: Volumes covers can be quite deceiving as volume covers show in this case.
