Molester Man (Chikan Otoko)

Yes,the name may sound repulsive,weird and undeniably like a hentai but i can assure you that this manga is so much more than just a webcomic people know it for.
"Based off a real story which was posted on 2ch, Chikan Otoko is the story of how Molester Man is mistaken for a stalker by Miss Understanding, and how they overcome their personal challenges while slowly growing closer to each other."- This is what's there in the summary region of every manga site you will find this manga in.Although it sounds a bit far-fetched and unreasonable , molester man brings a whole new world of realism through characters people would think are normally played out in minority.

Story:
The story follows a MC named Molester Man who has a part time job and goes to university, but besides that is really just a shut-in that stays on his computer all day long, plays games, watches anime and reads manga.So ,guess what the MC is just what society would call a pathetic loner and an otaku to top it off.Most mangas tend to be set in a fictional world where weird occurrences are abundant.But in reality,there are no absolute heroes who save girls from bad guys and end up with the heroine and live happily ever after.Molester man keeps true to the boundaries of reality and shows us how exactly normally things would revolve in an uneventful loner's life.The parodies and gags bring about a mellow feeling to the story and lightens the mood for the readers to have a laugh but the underlying truth behind the jokes are to make up for the most critical and expressive moments of the manga.

Art:
The art isn't all that impressive, but it does have its own feel with the over the top hilarious facial expressions for comedic scenes. Overall it's not fantastic, but it's not something to be ignored at all.Some might criticize the sketchy art style, but I thought it complimented the minimalist nature of the plot exceedingly well. It got the point across, while managing to make the characters unique and expressive.

Character:
The characters are what really make this manga what it is. Every character we meet have an important role in the story. Especially the MC who literally starts out as an anti-social shut-in to a guy and as the story progresses turns out to be a decent and normal guy who tries to get his emotions known.They all develop very well and not one character is just some shallow supporting character that has no influence whatsoever in the story. We see the interactions between the characters and the MC as well as the interactions between one another that just really make each character shine. Characters here are shown as realistic as possible even the pivotal points of the MC's life depend upon the decisions and interactions between the other characters involved.

Enjoyment:
Hell yeah it was awesome XD
the comedy scenes at some points made my sides hurt XD

Overall this manga is a gem among gems.Though raw and unpolished to a certain extent , this manga brings out everything and anything that a normal person might encounter if faced with such circumstances.
