Saba Saba Girl

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.
