I watched the two seasons then forgot about it. I picked up the manga where season 1 ends and gone from there. On 195 right now.

Oh man...just a few more until you get to my favorite chapter.  I was on a road trip with my family when 199 came out...and I'm pretty sure I read that chapter like 30 times on my phone. Heck...I think I'll go read it again!

Oh, how was the anime? I haven't watched that, but I did watch the live drama one, and that was pretty fun to watch. I gotta admit Yamada is okay. I think it had a good start and idea, but then that ends and rather than ending the story, it just... keeps going even know. At this point, I'm not sure why it's still going, aside from giving the author something to continue on. It still has some funny moments, but I can see why it should have ended long ago.

The anime wasn't terrible...but it was incredibly rushed. Manga fans complain about this in anime a lot, but this is probably one of the worst offenders of it honestly. It adapted the first 90 chapters and condensed them into 12 episodes...and so a ton of of plot points and dialogue was removed, and most of the characters barely did anything. I watched the anime first, and Yamada, Shiraishi, Miyamura, and Odagiri are the only characters that really left an impression on me.

As for the manga...I've more or less dropped it. I enjoyed the humor, but I can't build up the motivation to keep reading when i don't really care what's going on. I have too manga in my backlog to keep reading something that I'm extremely lukewarm about.

Still, I enjoyed the first 90 chapters a lot, so if I never come back to it, I'll look back on that part of the story alone.
