  Just a silly fun tie-in gag manga for fans of the original series. Thumbs up.

  Honestly, there isn't that much to say about this manga - long story short, it's not a full-blown spinoff about side characters that could've gotten more screentime or something super-awesome like that. But that doesn't mean it's bad to any degree. In fact, it's a pretty charming tie-in thingy - just a bunch of short, silly gag chapters, sometimes focusing on the main couple, sometimes the side characters. Very much a "what you see is what you get" type deal (okay, with the exception of a chapter where Wakana nearly gets himself conned into a pyramid scheme by some rando who claims to be his middle school friend, maybe).

  One thing that pleasantly surprised me is that despite this being a short comedic tie-in with no real significance to the main series' plot or anything, the author actually chooses to flesh out the Inui siblings' life a little bit, as we get a glimpse at the way Shinju runs Juju's cosplay account (and confirmation that Juju is actually kinda out of touch not just in the interacting-with-men department, but the internet too). Both chapters where the sisters show up are a delight if you're like me and you gobble up any little piece of official material with those two.

  And the humour in this is pretty alright too. One of the chapters features a whole bunch of in-universe manga-within-a-manga pages from SuccuProb - y'know, that manga whose protag Marin cosplays at one point, and the way it's integrated into the plot was mad funny to me.

  I also have to say the art is pretty pleasant. The artist clearly has a knack for goofy caricatures: this weird Juju-Pacman hybrid had me in stitches both times it appears. When's it getting merch?

  

  There's also what seems to be a parody of Grant Wood's American Gothic with some kinda Nosferatu-looking jabroni at one point. Great stuff.

  

  In an era where spinoffs for popular series (not just in the manga realm) range from "as good, if not better, than the original show" to "causing even the most diehard fans to chuckle nervously or let out a long sigh", this manga is a welcome change. I'm not gonna say it's some kinda masterpiece, but I think it's perfectly good at being what it is - just some random comedic hijinks with the main couple and some side characters alike.

  Sadly, I'm not sure if I'd say this is a good manga to read if you simply want to get a feel for what the main series is like before you decide to get into the manga or anime adaptation; it's certainly an option, although do keep in mind some jokes very clearly allude to events of the original and assume you know what they're referencing, so you might be lost as to why some particular scene should be funny to you.

  That's about it, really. It made me giggle a few times, so hopefully it does the same for ya. I'm honestly surprised it's as short as it is!
