 Volume 1 now available in English on Amazon!   Jitsu Wa Watashi Wa, or My Monster Secret in the English version, is a high school romcom/harem series by Masuda Eiji, and seems to be their first major work to run for more than five volumes. It follows a cast of total dorks in high school, including a vampire, an alien/frankenstein, a demon, a werewolf, and other supernatural creatures-turned-highschoolers. The takes on these characters are fantastic, and the humor is great. Vampires don't disintegrate when exposed to sunlight for example, they just get really, really bad tans. Fanservice is next to nonexistent as well which is a plus(outside of one character, whose entire MO is fanservice). Meet Asahi Kuromine. He's you're typical oblivious harem protagonist, a Tenchi-type, sans ancient alien superpowers. He is The Man Who Cannot Lie.  Kuromine has a crush on Youko Shiragami.  Shiragami's a quiet, attractive girl in his class. She also happens to be a vampire. If her secret is ever found out, her father, a vampire lord, will force her to return home. This becomes a problem when the likes of Akemi Mikan, the sadistic school reporter and childhood friend of Kuromine, takes an interest in her.  Nagisa Aizawa keeps her in line as the class rep, but also has her own share of secrets. She's a space alien piloting a "giant" robot version of herself.  Eventually more characters show up to complicate things, including Shiragami's childhood friend, Shirou. They are a werewolf. Shirou is one of my favorite characters in the series.  This series formerly dwelled in the Surreal Daily Life manga thread, but it's honestly so abnormally fantastic for such a tired premise that I decided to make a thread for it. It's a silly, hilarious romp, for sure, and all of the major characters get plenty of time in the spotlight and lots of character development/humor. If nothing else, the series is fantastic for the character development, surprises, and humor. And the faces, oh the faces.

That one face of horror the principal makes might be my favorite one of the entire series so far.

chumbler posted:The emphasized "Dumb" is basically the most accurate possible description of this series. It's also good that it looks like Shiho will be getting a rival of sorts, as she has generally felt kind of disconnected. Yeah, her own granddaughter.

If we're really still behind like 30+ chapters from the current one in Japan, then it wouldn't surprise me really if he DID get together with someone by then and it continued on. Seems like it'd just lead to more shenanigans rather than less

Yeah, you gotta remember, when she's just loving around like 99% of the time, she's not actually trying. When she's serious, get the gently caress outta there.

It's the little things like future girl buttoning up Shirou's shirt while Shirou is unbuttoning the ones she'd just buttoned at the bottom that I love. There's no real need for it but it's added in for comedic value. Reminds me of One Piece's background gags.

The important part is it's comedy first and foremost, and harem like, third or fourth. Hell, half the cast isn't even interested in Asahi at all, and Shiro's sexual harassment is more to annoy him than actual interest.

Ibram Gaunt posted:I wish they used Shirou more since I feel he is too underutilized and is pretty goofy in his own right, but that would mean less Shiho and that's no good. Shirou is like a nuclear option. Only brought out in times of the direst need.

I'd say it was one of the best chapters in a while but they've all been so good almost without exception that it was merely above average as far as this series goes. (so good)

Hey can we leave as yet untranslated stuff out of this thread please? As great as the teacher grimace was, I still would've preferred to find that when I read the chapter itself.

What you prefer is not what everyone prefers. If someone wants to see what's coming up, there's google and plenty of places to find the raws. I'd rather not have to dodge spoiler tag minefields, thanks for understanding.

Cake Attack posted:it's totally a harem dude A harem of three characters? What a weak-rear end harem. Just because the cast is primarily female and there's romance doesn't mean that it's necessarily a harem. There's like 10 girls and 2 of them are actually seriously going for asahi, with a third Cobra Commandering it up in the background.
