I really want to like this manga... I really do. I think that the idea of taking funny animal facts and turning them into a series sounds like it would be unique and interesting, and at first, it really was. Initially I gave this series a 7 or an 8 because I was having a great time with it. However, I think that as the series goes on, it adds a lot of unneeded things that detract from the experience as a whole for me.

The first thing that happens, which admittedly isn't too big of a problem, though it does bug me whenever I see it, is the fact that the manga introduces so many characters that are flat as a board (unlike their character designs). I understand that this is supposed to be a comedic, slice of life, high school harem(?) series where character development does not matter too much, but by not having even the smallest semblance of an interesting character it really relegates itself to being a second rate series if the comedy doesn't keep up.

And the next part we need to talk about is just that. So I'll give this series a nod by saying that, especially early on, a lot of the animal facts and arcs are genuinely pretty funny and enjoyable to read (you kinda have to have lower brow humor though). However, as the series goes on it starts to rely more and more on recurring jokes that get less and less funny every new time they are said. Like the first time a character dies because of overwork and everyone freaks out is shocking and a little funny, but the 20th time it happens makes me want to sleep.

Another thing that happens as the series goes on is it's over-reliance on fanservice. I swear that by the midway point you cannot go two chapters without a fanservice scene or two. It's like the mangaka was told that they needed to add a scene every chapter or else it wouldn't get published, and if there was ever a chapter that was missing one, it would have to be added on to the next. I'm here to learn funny animal facts, not to see big boobed koalas walking around in bikinis...

The last major thing to mention is the ending, which is... very much unexpected but not in a good way. If you make it that far you'll see for yourself what I mean.

Now, I don't want to make it seem like there is absolutely nothing worth reading here, since that isn't true. Like I said earlier, I do enjoy a majority of the animal facts that get brought up and they lead to a lot of pretty funny scenes. Not only that, but Jin as a main character is actually pretty good in my opinion. I also like the artstyle, but that is gonna change heavily depending on the person reading. I really thought I had more good stuff to say about this series but...

So yeah, this is a series that unfortunately gets worse as time goes on. I think that if you want to see what it's like, then read up to the end of the school festival arc since it really only goes downhill from there unless you really like animal fanservice and overused jokes. Really wish this manga continued to be as good as it was at the start, but what can you do
