Fujou and Chouko from Oddman 11. I think they make a really cute pairing 💞

Oddman 11

This manga gave us the "I'm smart and slutty" panels of tumblr fame, so I can't hate it too much but I wasn't a huge fan of this one. There's a lot of stuff thats just kinda confusing or weird, like the oddmen themselves. Some are seemingly monster girls but then others are like "this girl never bathes and is really stinky." I can't tell if there's some cultural or language context that I'm missing. It's also very much a 'sex comedy,' which I dont usually mind but I feel like a lot of that aspect I didn't really vibe with.

I think the aspect that put me off the most is the main conflict/motivation for the plot. Setsu, the protagonist, wants to date the only male oddman in her school, but must win against the 10 other oddmen, who are all girls and have all dated him in the past. Purposeful Scott Pilgrim references aside, it irks me that a male character is given so much plot importance, even if his actual appearances in the manga are pretty minimal. It makes the feelings, bonds, and relationships that happened between the girls appear more like stop gaps, with the true destination a relationship between a man and a woman. The story doesn't go that route, but it doesn't feel fully committed to the yuri either.

My favorite character ended up being the oni? girl. Just a miserable, perverted, disaster, failure of a lesbian. She's so funny and so good.
