Here’s my take after reading all 24 enigmatic chapters of Sakamoto Desu Ga? by Nami Sano.
Have you heard of the guy in class 1-2? He’s so majestic, he’s amazing, and he is the epitome of perfection in every way. Have you heard of Sakamoto?
The story revolves around Sakamoto and the people who admire him, adore him, envy him, and try to outdo him in and out of their classes 1-2.
It is fun to read how Sakamoto handles tight situations with ease and beauty, and how he makes simple mundane tasks become awesome and reach a level of refinement that only a paragon like him can do.
I would say that the art put into the story was great and most of the characters were given time to shine, second only to Sakamoto of course which makes them memorable one way or another.
What I like about the story is it does not take itself so seriously and loves to play around with the concept of a godlike character in a simple setting like a classroom. It was not laggy and it neatly concludes each chapter that you can enjoy whenever you want to read something light and fun.
However, that is also the problem that it carries with it; the simplicity of the plot and the short run of the manga. But do not be misled by this since I appreciate how entertaining the manga is.
With that said, I would give Sakamoto Desu ga? 8 dodged pies out of 10.
