This was a manga I continuously skipped for a while til one holy day I decided to pick it up. So here's the review!
Story (9): It's an instant classic the moment I decided to read up chapter 1, all the jokes always hit right on mark, whenever it wants to bring in sad, cute, or any type of emotion to the story element, it always delivers. So essentially it was perfect up til the end... the ending left you off with a cliffhanger and so many questions, if felt as if there was supposed to be another chapter right after but nope, it just ends lol.
Art (9): It's no where perfect and I gotta be honest, if this manga was terrible it would've gotten a 5 or 6 in this department, but since the manga was able to use this kind of art and was able to convey emotion while telling a good story is good enough for me.
Characters (10): All of them are unique enough to remember their names, hell even the minorest of minor characters you can get instantly attached to and I commend this manga for that.
Enjoyment (9): That ending left me unsatisfied and wanting for more, and to give a bit more details on what the ending was like without giving spoilers is like this. The fourth to last chapter had a good ending in line but was told as an alternative timeline, so here comes the final arc and the true final ending was a retcon.... and essentially left us on a cliff hanger as if more was going to happen. Other than that, all 270+ chapters were some of the greatest stuff I've ever read.
Overall (9): I wish I can give this a 10 out of 10 but it's not, not with that cliffhanger. I would definitely pick this up and give it a read, I do not regret reading it and I don't mind fully re-reading it for the future.

Overall:
This was my first ever manga that wasn't shoujo or had any sort of romance in it, and surprisingly I enjoyed it very much.
About the manga (general events, and characters):
The character you see with this pinkish-red hair and odd things on his head is the main character, 'Saiki Kusuo'. If you aren't into animes/mangas that don't have a big goal the characters work towards (like saving the world, killing a villain, or just graduating from school), this is NOT your thing.
If anything, it's very random, and sometimes even breaking the 4th wall, but very enjoyable nonetheless simply because it was vERY out of the blue. About 10 or so chapters in, you will get a hang of how things go in this manga, but you shouldn't think that it's just going to be the same thing again and again--maybe twice at max to bring closure to a previous problem/situation, but that's about it.
The characters also grow and develop into a better version of themselves. So if you are kind of annoyed by a certain character, they eventually grow out of it or just lessen their intensity as they go.
Conclusion:
Normally, I usually don't like these types of animes/mangas with an exception for K-On!. So I was surprised that I binge read this. At the end of it, it made me regret that I didn't do stupid stuff with my friends when I had the chance to.
