Hoping that we'll get to see more of Amihama

This series is such a guilty pleasure of mine. Amihama is my spirit animal. Even though she can be pretty terrible (lol) she's really relatable and hilarious. Give this a try if you like schadenfreude with your comedies :)

Absolutely Hooked

In the first few chapters, I was thinking "ah this will probably end or get boring once she gets fired". Then, as the plot went on, the character development and the artwork became increasingly unique and entertaining.

Saba Saba Girl is such an addictive read for a working adult. I feel as though I've met people similar to many of the characters in this manga, even if the situations are less dramatic in real life. I cannot wait to see where this manic, outrageous and unintentionally hilarious character goes next in the coming chapters.

Good character writing

The author writes the character so well. I despise the mc, if she is the mc but Honda is a sweet adorable person and I can’t wait to see more of her

Love it

So far it's a really entertaining story, though there's not
much to say yet since it has just started. I just really enjoy the main character and would love to see how things will go for her from here.

It's okay, but where's it going?

This review contains spoilers. As of chapter 9, Nami has gotten her just deserts. She's been given the boot after her lacklustre performance and utter lack of accountability and self awareness were thoroughly exposed. It's satisfying, but kinda... dull. The manga appears to be continuing after this, and I have to wonder... why? I sincerely doubt that Nami will ever change, and it's just going to be an endless succession of bridges burned and people having to deal with her severe DKE.

I think that if you enjoy those sitcoms that never seem to end, this will be your thing. (Indeed, in 2023 this manga was adapted for a live action Japanese sitcom.) I'm not a sitcom watcher myself, and the lack of a larger story arc or character development is frustrating. Also, having worked with multiple individuals with Nami's personality, the last thing I want to deal with is one in my free time. I've never found this type of humour appealing either, which doesn't help.

I think that there many readers who will enjoy this manga, but I'm afraid that I am not one of them. The art is generally decent, but won't blow your mind.

気弱な男性社員の叫びに笑った

I laughed at the cry of a timid male employee

気弱な男社員に「何の実力も無いのに偉そうにしてる秘訣は？」的な、悪気ゼロで聞かれたシーンに笑った自分から「サバサバしてる」と言ってる人って、実際は　そうでも無いｗ周囲の人達が「日本人特有の、平和的な大人の対応」してるから主人公の言動が問題になりにくいから得してるこの姐さん、もし別の国だったら　あからさまに嫌われて肩身の狭い人生だろうなただ、思った事を結構そのまま口に出してるので、良く言えば本性をあまり隠せず不器用な人物、とも言えるニコニコ低姿勢で腹の中で「周囲の人間　全員バーカ！」とか見下してる腹黒よりは、若干マシ？かな？？

To a weak male employee, “What's the secret to being bossy even though you don't have any abilities?” The person who laughed at the scene where she was asked with zero offense is actually not the case lol this sister, who benefits from the fact that the people around her are “dealing with peaceful adults peculiar to Japanese people,” so the main character's words and actions are less likely to be a problem, because if it were another country, she would be blatantly disliked and probably had a narrow shoulder life, she uttered what she thought quite straight, so to put it better, she is a clumsy person who doesn't hide her true nature too much Smiling in a low position and saying “all the people around me are idiots!” Is it slightly better than a dark stomach that looks down on something like that? maybe??

最初より後になる方が面白さ加速おち

The one that comes later than the beginning is more interesting acceleration chi

どんどん面白くなっていく展開。姉さんが、ただの痛い感じじゃなくなるのが読んでいてホッとする。海外でずっと働いてきた私にもよくわかる感じ

The development is getting more and more interesting. I'm relieved to read that my sister is no longer just a painful feeling. It's a feeling I understand well even if I've been working overseas for a long time

面白い

interesting

主人公けっこう好きです。イヤな感じするけど、自分に自信もつって難しいし堂々としててなんかかっこいいと思える要素あります。嫌な奴を面白く漫画で描くのが上手い原作者さんですね。

I like the main character quite a bit. I don't like it, but it's difficult to have confidence in myself, and there's an element that makes me think it's cool to be proud. The original author is good at drawing disgusting people in funny comics.

憎めない

I can't hate you

あからさまに嫌なものを詰め込んだサバ女主人公ですが、それに対抗するキャラが闘ってくれるので面白く読めます。サバ女も少しは良い所ありますし。この話の番外編も面白くて好きです。

The mackerel heroine is blatantly packed with disgusting things, and the characters who oppose it fight, so it's interesting to read. There are places where mackerel women are also a bit nice. The extra part of this story is also interesting and I like it.

癖になる

It becomes a habit

まったく共感できない主人公ではありますが、迷惑をかけられている周りの人に感情移入して読んでしまうという不思議な魅力があります。ドラマ版はけっこう表現がマイルドにされてるんですね。網浜さんを原液で楽しみたい方には、漫画版がオススメかもしれません。

Although it is the main character I can't sympathize with at all, it has a strange appeal of empathizing with people around me who are being bothered and read it. The expressions in the drama version are pretty mild, aren't they? For those who want to enjoy Amihama-san's undiluted solution, I might recommend the comic version.

元気がでます！

I feel energetic!

最初は、自称サバサバ女、なんだこの女って感じでしたが、高校教師編から、陰険上司をやっつけていく感じがスカッとしました。読んでて、笑えるし、爽快です。仕事で嫌なことがあっても、ネチネチ悩んでる自分がバカバカしくなります。元気が欲しい時におすすめです。

At first, I felt like she was a self-proclaimed mackerel woman, or what kind of woman, but the feeling of beating up her insidious boss from the high school teacher edition was amazing. It's funny and exhilarating to read. Even if there are things I don't like at work, it makes me feel ridiculous because I'm worried about the hectic situation. Recommended when you want energy.

自サバ女のピエロぶり

Self-clown mackerel woman

最初はムカつくって思ったけど、だんだん可哀想になってきた。「占い師みたいなイヤリングですね」はないだろー。

At first, I thought it was annoying, but gradually it became pitiful. There aren't any “earrings that look like fortune tellers, right?”

何故か元気になれる

I can cheer up for some reason

最初はサバサバと言いながら空気読めない系の勘違い女の典型で叩きのめされろ！と思ってたのに、婚活編からおやおや？となり、教職についてからは空気の読めなさも遠慮しない物言いも良い方向に向かっているような。パワフルな網浜に元気もらえる不思議さがある。途中までしか読んでないけど、これは最後まで見届けようと思った笑

At first, she says mackerel mackerel but is the epitome of a misunderstood woman who can't read the air, and be knocked down! I was wondering, but hey from the marriage hunting edition? Then, when it comes to teaching positions, it seems that they are moving in a good direction because they can't read the air and don't hesitate to say things. There is something strange about being energized by the powerful Amihama. I've only read it halfway through, but I thought I'd watch this until the end lol

最初はやべぇ…と思った

at first I thought that was crazy...

This review contains spoilers. ここまで空気読めない猪突猛進居なさそうで居るよなぁ…って思いながら好奇心で新刊出たら読んでる。会社では浮く存在だけど、教師に着任してから割とマトモに見えるのは何故やろか…。学校という閉鎖的空間で、あんな風に引力が強い網浜は、ある意味生徒達にとって大きな存在になりそうな気がする。

This review contains spoilers. I read it when the new issue came out out of curiosity while thinking that boars can't read the air this far seem to be going out of nowhere... They are popular in the company, but I wonder why they seem relatively mature after arriving as a teacher... I feel that Amihama, which is a closed space called a school and has such a strong attraction, is likely to be a big presence for students in a sense.

This review contains spoilers. I read it from the beginning. On the way, “mackerel mackerel?” There were times when I thought, but maybe mackerel is still mackerel. Kaeshi feels good, doesn't it? Maybe I'll go with the Amihama-san method this year too.

なぜか笑顔になってしまう

It makes me smile for some reason

This review contains spoilers. 序盤は自称サバサバ女に「わ〜、こんな人居る居る！だいたいこんな感じのファッションだよね！」と、やっつけられるのを見てスカッとしていたはずが……なぜかだんだん憎めなく、いつの間にか応援している自分に気がつきます。なんだかんだでポジティブでへこたれない網浜さんへの作者さんからの愛を感じます。

This review contains spoilers. At the beginning, the self-proclaimed mackerel woman said, “Wow, there are people like this! For the most part, fashion looks like this!” I must have been surprised to see them being beaten... but for some reason I gradually couldn't hate it, and before I knew it, I realized that I was supporting them. I feel the author's love for Amihama-san, who is somehow positive and unfazed.

ぶっ飛んでて面白い

It's so funny that it's flying

自己中な会社の人が周りの人を振り回したり思わぬ仕返しを受けたりする漫画かと思ってたけど、どんどん舞台？が変わります。最終地点はどこになるんでしょう。突っ切った自己中な俺様（？）で漫画だからこそ面白いしところどころでやり返されたり癖になります。

I was wondering if it was a comic where people at their own company swayed people around them and received unexpected retaliation, but the stage is getting more and more? will change. Where will the final location be? I'm totally selfish (?) Because it's a comic, it's interesting, and it becomes a habit to be repeated here and there.

自称「サバサバ女」のキャラクター造形が！

The character model for the self-proclaimed “mackerel mackerel woman”!

This review contains spoilers. なんと言ってもこの作品の魅力は主人公の網野奈美のキャラクターが素晴らしいのです。ワタシ「サバサバしてるからぁ」を口癖に傍若無人な振る舞いを繰り返し周りの顰蹙を買っているのだが、実際はネチネチと嫉妬深く、自分の非は決して認めない、その上仕事も出来ないのに自惚れだけは人一倍！という絶妙のご性格がイライラするほどピッタリハマっておられるのです。当然巻き起こるトラブルや非難にもめげず、一切の反省無し、あきれるほどの自己評価の高さ、ある意味徹底したポジティブ思考を貫く姿は笑いを超えて感動さえ覚えます。周りの空気を読まない、空気を無視する、空気に抵抗する、これがこれほど爽快なこととは！

This review contains spoilers. After all, the appeal of this work is that the character of the main character, Amino Nami, is amazing. I have a habit of saying “because I'm mackerel,” and have repeatedly caused outrage from people around me, but in reality, I'm jealous and naive, I never acknowledge my faults, and even though I can't even work, I'm twice as proud! Her exquisite personality is so perfect that it's frustrating. There is no remorse whatsoever, no remorse, an astonishingly high level of self-evaluation, and in a sense, the sight of them sticking to thorough positive thinking is beyond laughter and even moving. Not reading the surrounding air, ignoring the air, resisting the air, this is so exhilarating!
