This 15-volume manga (by Norihiro Yagi, before he created Claymore ) is a masterclass in running gags and character-driven humor. Every fight is resolved not with violence, but by Kitano accidentally winning people over with his genuine, clueless kindness. It’s sweet, laugh-out-loud funny, and surprisingly heartfelt. The art starts rough but evolves beautifully, mirroring Kitano’s journey from monster to the most beloved person in school. Final verdict: A hidden gem
