I like it. I haven't watched the anime, I'm only reading the manga and I find it hilarious. Parts of it I cringe to read because they really are kind of embarrassing to read or 'experience' and I wish Tomoko would just not do those things or say it at that point. Some of them I even wonder...
Spoiler:
By the way, there's also the little spin-off series focusing on her time in middle school.
It's not my fault that my friend's not popular. Or was it her fault...?

I'm thinking about Watamote a bit deeper and... quite frankly, this manga is depressing as hell! It seems like Tomoko can't get a single break. Yeah, she has Yuu-chan, but given how Yuu seems to have changed a lot, she's still alone. Even at home, Tomoko is so awkward that she's still alone...!

Haha well all of the time it's always Tomoko's fault because of her weird personality and timid side. Yuu-chan changed way to much and I love how Tomoko acts perverted around her haha. The only person who comes close to being like Tomoko is Kotomi

True, kind of. But if you think about it, Tomoko obviously wants friends, but the intense difficulty she has in making them can be quite heartbreaking. Yes, she's socially awkward, very socially awkward and I can sorta identify with that, so it's really sad to see her want something badly and fail.
And I find it worse that she doesn't even seem to work well with her own family. Tomoki seems to absolutely hate her, her mother shows no sign of understanding Tomoko, either. And the stupid teacher needs to keep her mouth shut, all about joining things and making friends... it's not that easy for some people, sensei!

I always feel like I wanna jump into my screen and give Tomoko big hug to comfort her every time I see her suffer the way she does. I admit I could identify with her back during my middle school where I was abit socially awkward do to my timidness until I did something stupid I regret but then again Im glad I did because it made me finally get rid of my shyness in the weirdest of ways haha.
Tomoki hates her but at times he does care about his sister especially back when he was a little boy but then again Tomoko does act like a ass infront of him which is why he hates her at times. Her mother though is a ass when it comes to understanding Tomoko since she's oblivious to the whole matter of her social akwardness. The teacher just tries way too hard in trying to help Tomoko. The only person I noticed who cares about Tomoko besides Yuu is Megumi

For example, in one episode she spends ages trying to figure out which drink she wants, and then when she finally decides, she spills it everywhere. That kind of stuff has happened to me. What I like about the show is that it reminds me that I'm not the only one who does this kind of stuff.
Still, I always feel really bad for Tomoko and just want to give her a hug and make her feel better each time I watch.

I used to be able to relate a lot to this series. Though now that I actually have a girlfriend and that my life is actually good now, I can't say that I'm the same. Still, I think we've all been like Tomoko at one point. I'm just glad that stage of my is over now.

You know, this show was really good until the half-assed ending. Tomoko learns absolutely nothing and it feels so unsatisfying. There's an OVA episode coming out in October, but I have absolutely no idea what it's going to be about. The manga is far better than the anime. However, Tomoko is turning into a pretty horrible person from where it's going now. I wonder how long it's going to last for.
There's an anime for this and it's already over? Hmm... even though I barely watch anime anymore, I do think I'd avoid trying to watch an anime based on something that is definitely nowhere near finished. Like with the Magister Magi Negima, various OVAs, all ending much, much earlier than the manga did and tend to give really weird endings.
As for Tomoko being a horrible person... eh, some parts I agree, other parts I don't. Quite honestly, if I were to go to a meet-and-greet of a seiyuu I'm a fan of and even got a chance to ask him to voice something, I'd probably draw a blank. Or might even ask something completely random like what Tomoko did.
C-A
PS: That DS game Tomoko was playing, where she was rubbing off sweat from a guy... what game is that?

The anime was only 12 episodes and it finished waaaaay back in September. It was a pretty close adaption to the manga, but the ending was so obviously rushed since the manga's nowhere near completed.
With Tomoko being horrible, I sort of mean how she's treating the people around her. Granted, her social skills aren't the best, but she could give way more effort.
It's probably supposed to be a parody of those dating games. You should probably know by now that Japan makes some weird shit with their games.
Still, that kind of reminds me of this Lupin III DS game. One of the mini games involves you giving Fujiko a back massage.

Haven't seen the series, but probably Duel Love, with its infamous "Heaven Mode".

Um, Megumi? Is that an anime only character or am I forgetting her? Or is that the girl Kuro-something from middle school, but they had forgotten about each other's existence?
No, she's in the manga too. Megumi is basically a super-popular girl at school who becomes friendly with Tomoko. Even still, they don't really become friends or anything. Mostly because Tomoko doesn't have the courage to talk to her. The girl you're thinking about from the manga is Kotomi. She didn't make any appearances in the anime, because she only appeared semi-recently in the manga. Makes me wonder if the upcoming OVA will have her.

I agree. One of the strongest points of this series is the music. For a series that only lasted 12 episodes, there's a surprising variety of insert songs and EDs. Even the background music is charming and fits the story perfectly. Even if it does leave you with a big hole in your heart and aching depression.

Oh, when I first saw the Opening I was all "What the..." and then I saw the Ending and I thought it was cute. The ending is both upbeat as anything and depressing as hell at the same time. Also, Episode 4... please warn me before playing Boys' Love noises!

When I saw the ending I was like "OMG FINALLY A METAL ANIME OPENING!!" aside from the awesomeness that is Detroit Metal City which I highly recommend you watch. I had the same reaction when I saw the ending but I liked it alot.
edit: If you do watch Detroit Metal City be ready to expect the weirdness xD

So I hesite to put it in my "Must watch/read list" for the summer and I just wantes to know if there is a lot of mopping in this manga. I mean does she really mope at how bad she is with her social skills or how it's not her fault that she has bad skills? Just afraid that it's a manga where the otaku reader is supposed to be conforted or other things.
Please don't hit me...

It's not really that the reader is supposed to be comforted by reading about another girl having potentially the same problem of being popular as the reader. I personally stopped caring about being popular very fast. The manga is more supposed to be a slice of life, mixed with Cringe Comedy. It's hilarious to read some of the things she's going through, but it's also really, really difficult to read at times cause you do sort of feel sorry for her at times.
So, Tomoko doesn't really mope much. More she thinks of her frustration. Yes, there are times where she's a bit mopey, sad about how things are going. And she is an obnoxious character, but I think she's a sympathetic character done right. She doesn't do anything overly bad on purpose that backfires, it just backfires. People can relate to her, but also be annoyed by her at the same time. And I quite honestly do feel for her when I read the manga. Especially if there are moments she misunderstands or is ignored-with-kindness by her only friend.
It's definitely a show that you have to take with a grain of salt. The heroine isn't a perfect girl, she's actually the opposite and yet is not really the hero type. In fact, she's incredibly flawed and even unlikeable. But... I dunno, I personally just see something in her that makes me want to like her a ton. I do like her a lot.
My suggestion... watch the anime first. It's shorter and connects various (shorter) manga chapters together and they actually work. I absolutely love the music, although it sounded so off and out of place at times. The art style is great, I just feel joy when watching that thing. Anyway, then you can decide if Tomoko is the type of character you can like enough to read 55+ chapters.
