Sekai ka Kanojo ka Erabenai

Have you ever read or watched the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya? Imagine that, but with the following settings changed:

--Haruhi is 50% nicer to people, but 30% more tsundere
--Kyon is 10% more romantic at the expense of being 95% less funny
--Nagato is actively and aggressively trying to get into Kyon's pants
--Koizumi is 60% gayer
--Mikuru is replaced with an elf loli

If you don't know how to feel after reading that, then consdier this: what if Haruhi Suzumiya had a tighter story with more tension; less Endless Eight, more Disappearance?

Ultimately, those are the tradeoffs you experience while reading Sekai ka Kanojo ka Erabenai. The result is an almost disturbingly intriguing story for an Ecchi manga, where you're drawn in by the "plot" but actually stay for the PLOT. Characters become increasingly interesting and sympathetic as they go along, and you find yourself sucked in to the story and wondering how things will turn out.

Give it a shot. Stick around long enough and you'll be shocked at just how compelling it is.

I LOVE THIS MANGA!!!
Ok, first of all i just wanna to say that it's been a long time there are manga that got me fully absorbed in the story.So when i finished reading this manga, i'm so worked up. If it's an anime, i will absolutely going to rewatch it repeatedly. But it is still difficult for me to reread this manga, the reason behind it is only because the climax is so intense and my heart is not strong enough to experience it again.

Leave the every part scoring for later. I will give a review about overall of this manga. SO SKIP IF U DONT WANT TO GOT SPOILER.

When i just read this manga, i was thought, "ah... this going to be a cliche comedy romance ecchi story". The story is about a man who love his childhood friend and then someone come interfere their love story. Well, i just continue read it a few chapter forward.

There are some things that catch my eye, like curses and a few other things. But, omething/someone that catch my attention most is Jindou Hikari. She's a mysterious girl with full of unknown thing whose come up with her. It is the only thing that tickle my soul. It is also the reason why im stay and withstand to keep reading this manga. My feeling says that there is something with this girl, and with this manga. And then I'm grateful for trusting my instincts.

I always think, "the best story is a story that makes you thinking about what coming up next." And they did it. The author have succeeded in making such stories. The story escalated to the extent that no one will expect the story will. Slowly, the story going more and more serious with one thing and another come adding the trouble.Something unexpected keeps going until the climax, when all of layered plot pile up until i unconsciously said, "what the f*ck,man", when the unexpected turns occurred.

Well, that is explained a lot about this manga. Then letss proceed to the explanation of every part of scoring.

Story
Actually it's hard for me to give 10 score to the story section. The beginning of this story is feel too much of fantasy and something irrational. But well i never againts how the story start. The important thing is how the author develop the story. Then proceed to the some chapter next, the story start to intersting. There are endless mystery that makes the reader want to solve it. In the middle of the story, it's feel like slow to move and tend to repeat the same thing. But the thing that the story keep goes on make it still readable.

In short is, i want to give 9/10 to the story score because of there still holes in here and there. But, that ending is sooooo siiiiicckkkk!!! So, i know it's not my usual to include my own feeling in the scoring that should be become objectives thing, but well, i'll give it 10/10 scores.

Art
10/10. U know why if you read it :v

Character
Same as the story. It doesn't goes that superb in the beginning. But, how the character develop is fairly good for me. If there is someone who dislike the character inside this story, well i dont against the way you are judging. But i just want to remember you guys one thing, "Remember people in reality". These people in here is behave as like how normal people did. Don't say they aren't, just because the story is not normal. Well, it's a supernatural story, so yes, it wouldn't be normal story. Just thought as if you are in those 'unnormal' and think how you will behave. And don't forget everyone has different personality.
Nakagawa Kouki, he sometime has indecisive side that might makes the reader mad at him. Sometimes he fall into the dirty thought when he got teased. But he still persist and not just going out with every woman that teased him. He's not a good main character, is it really like that? Guys, think about it. A guy who devoted his life just for woman. Well yeah he sometimes fall for temptation, he is normal healthy young man. But still, he vowed himself just the one who he love. How can that not be so romantic? When sometimes he waver, but when he make up his mind, he will go and even confront the world if he need to do it.
Fujisaki Ayumi, she wearing mask because her trauma. Sometimes u just can't forgive yourself from what you have done. And here she is, doing the same thing with what normal people will do.
Jindou Hikari, she is mysterious woman that begin with no emotion, then gradually getting some expression, learning how others feels, and finally learn about love and how much trouble it is.
Konoe Tenshi, someone who just wanna to live. She just wanna feel how to live like other people do. With some effect of the 'live' she got, her personality come to change, but she still try to stay as same person.

I think dream-like character is good, but character that suited with reality is the best.

Enjoyment
9/10. It has fluctuated enjoyment. Hard to enjoy in the beginning, start to enjoy the story, a bit of boring in the middle, then BOOM in the climax event

Overall
Because i'm the one who score a story only based the how the 'story' is feels, so the overall is not that different with it. I was thinking about give it 9/10 because the 'holes' in the story, but well i like this story. So it is too meanie for me to not give my favorites story a 10 scores. So then, it is how it is.

MY FAVOURITE MANGA

World or her? why should I choose the world haha...

the world didn't give me anything hahaha. if it's destroyed just let it be.

My favorite character is definitely Hikari. I really enjoy the stories during the school drama. hope more stories when Hikari and Tenshi are still by their side.

The story is too short. hope Hikari gets a little attention from the main character. you know he looks like a bodyguard.

My favorite conflict is between Hikari and Tenshi. Hikari is aggressive and Tenshi is mature haha (looks like an older sister in my opinion).

then hope to make a special story for hikari with kou.

So, what this has going is quite a combination. If you enjoy all of what it has to offer, you are going to have fun because it really delivers what it offers.

A story with a supernatural plot, that has a good amount of twists and that isn't easy to predict without going into stupidity always following the tone that it set from the beginning. The chapters are kinda long, and they have quite a bit of dialogue (this helps a lot to flesh up the story and the characters).

The romance is really important in the story, and it is always present... along a pretty noice amount of fanservice that I can imagine turning off some people (because fanservice is supoused to be bad and cheap, not for me tho). The story doesn't stays with the holding hands deal, and it took me by suprise how it developed.

The characters, great, I loved them. They feel fresh, they have a personality and they aren't just a walking stereotype even though you can tell in what category they might fit.

Overrall, a romantic unpredictable story with supernatural elements and a good dose of fanservice that it's actually used for romantic moments too. I really recommend giving this a show.

Once again we are thrown into the world of Childhood Friend vs New Girl! However the difference this time is that as the story progresses, the reader is truly split between the two characters. If this had been a conventional story, the story would have been leaning more towards the newer girl. In this case, compared to your normal highschool romcom, there is the additional mystery as well as life and death, and a few comedic moments.
In terms of balance between the girls, it is obvious that there is none. HOWEVER, it felt like a MASSIVE tug of war between the two female characters, with readers having a hard time on who to support. It is a truly engrossing and emotionally difficult manga that uncovers more and more as the story progresses.

Before I was reading this manga, just from the synopsis, I was expecting new girl to win. That would be pre-manga thoughts, from a logical standpoint. If you are like me, a hopeless romantic who believes that love is absolute, then as the story unfolds, we lose our logical thinking and would watch the world burn just for these two destined people to get together.


Spoiler alert:
If you have read the synopsis, then you would know there are 2 choices but by the time I am writing this, a new girl has been introduced, giving a 3rd choice, (I shall name her Random Girl). The 3 choices are:

1. Childhood friend but has the world could be destroyed if MC enters a R/S with her
2. New girl that has a human appearance but isn't human, loves the MC and wants the MC not to enter a RS with Childhood friend so as to save the Earth
3. Random Girl that appears to comfort MC when he is split but might have a hidden agenda.

Initially, the manga is written such that the New girl is the obvious choice and saving the world is more important. However, as the story progresses, the story starts to show the past of the childhood friend and the despair she has, leading the reader to support the childhood friend more, even though the reader is fully aware of the consequence of doing so. Random girl comes in and at first it seems she may be a better choice. However within the next few chapters, it is revealed that she would probably be the worst choice.

Preface: This is my first review cut my some slack.

So Sekai ka Kanojo ka Erabenai seems to be a very promising manga from the little bit that is translated to English.

Story:
Well, the synopsis gives a pretty good description of the premise of the story. However, lets make it clear, the story has the potential to either go up or down hill a lot at this point in the manga. The premise wasn't interest enough by itself to keep me hook. Rather, it was the mysteries surrounding it that lured me in. If these mysteries have bad resolutions or explanations, it will heavily ruin the plot.

Art:
The art is definitely great. Its well draw and clear. Furthermore, the range of expressions are great. The fan service is also top quality, and there is quite a bit. :3

Characters:
Well, the characters seem fine, if a bit generic. The two female leads are both established with a aura of mysteries which is pretty common. Furthermore, one is a childhood friend and the other an enigma. The main character seems to be the generic "I will always do good and protect my friends". Nothing really unique so far with these characters, but that doesn't mean they are bad.

Enjoyment:
I liked this manga perhaps a little to much given its generic characters and potentially bland story. However, I'm holding on hope that the manga will develop its characters and plot in an interesting way.

Overall:
A good manga. Despite some short comings, I would recommend this manga to anyone who just wants something fun to read. The worst thing may be that English translations come out once in a blue moon.
