Ukare Bakemono no Hogaraka na Hatan

I've never written a review before, but this hidden gem absolutely deserves it.
This is a story about friendship, music, and accepting others.

There is already a synopsis, but it does not mention a key fact: this manga is absolutely HILARIOUS. I cannot for the life of me count the amount of times I laughed out loud. It throws the weirdest curveballs at you, like the legends of Othello or how a sunflower is the strongest one out there. And after that, it just gut punches you in the feels, surprising you, asking you if you care for the characters yet.

The artstyle is very peculiar, stylized and even a bit cartoony, but overall beautiful. Some of the best reaction images are hiding in this manga.

The characters is where Ukare Bakemono no Hogaraka na Hatan shines the most at: this kids are goofy, they are troublemakers at heart. They get sidetracked as much as they breathe. But they also have another side to them, and most of all, they care for each other.

Honestly, I'd just say give this masterpiece a chance.
