Bonnouji

Description

Fate brings two people who live in the same condo together on a typical afternoon. Ozawa (26) has just broken up with her boyfriend of five years and was in the process of trying to rebuild her life when she meets Oyamada who lives a couple floors below her. He is somewhat of a loner although he does have a few friends and his room is cluttered with all the random stuff that his impulse shopper brother sends him. Ozawa takes an interest with all the things in his room and the two start a friendship that slowly turns into something more.

The cutest couples!

Very well written manga ^^

It’s like a mix of slice of life, romance, friendships, and also comedy (as the appointed categories points out as well ^^;)

The art style is really cute and looks nice, not too Shoujo and not too Shounen, it’s like a toned down Josei in some ways.

I think what makes Bonnouji unique is that it has its romantic and lovey-dovey moments, but they’re rather subtle at most times, and when it isn’t, it doesn’t feel awkward and fake.

There is a comment made by a user named “dgoiko” 8 years ago, and one of the comments this person made I resonated with as well— there really aren’t any stupid drama to turn the story around like many other works in the romance genre.. Everyone in Bonnouji is really kind hearted and caring, it gives me hope that the worst doesn’t always have to happen to make an emotionally compelling story.

Thank you very much to the people who made Bonnouji possible! I loved it dearly from start to end ♡

This manga is one of the best example of an argument for "making a story without conflict but is still good", not too saccharine, right amount of funny (i guess this part is very subjective) while also progressing the relationship and plot.
I think one of the greay qualities of the manga is the dialogue is very real, like that's how people talk and all.

Focused, But Didn't Hold My Interest

a casual manga simply about a two individuals, one recovering from a breakup of 5 years and the other a collecting hobbyist, naturally developing chemistry from hanging out and having fun. If you're expecting something complex with heartwrenching drama, steer clear of this one. Otherwise, you might enjoy a short 3-volume adventure into two realistic lives of adults making their way through life, but it wasn't my cup of tea, let's just say.

CUTE

It's cute and refreshing and relatable. Some mature themes (marriage, sex), but they're very casually integrated in with the quirky conversations between these "weird" (in an interesting way) characters. Makes you root for both Ozawa and Oyamada. Gives tons of feels; these two are embarrassing in all the right ways.

On a side note, I loved that part when Oyamada mentioned being an integrated systems engineer and all the work related stuff that irritated him and I, as a software engineer, can relate all too well. Good research, Mangaka-san.

right dose

one of the best executed stories so far i read. everything is just right dose for the genre. but the one thing i dont get why this kinda stories are in seinen genre, isnt there a unisex genre there or am i getting the genres wrong way? joseis are most of the time over dramatic romances, but this is also a passing josei for me 😀

It would be nice if we could all have our own Bonnouji.

This has to be, to me, one of the most deserving of the tags comedy and romance. The humor is not demeaning to one's intelligence. Despite it feeling, to me, a bit rushed at the end, the story progression is wonderful. Overall a very satisfying RomCom Manga.

Vanilla romance? You f*****g got it

Hey those of you who seek romance but right now are turned off by the cover of a man who looks like a homeless nerd. Don't be fooled by it. You get used to his appearance in 2 chapters. The story is absolutely awesome, no drama, comedy here or there, ordinary life, no 2000000 pointless chapters on thinking about confessing and stuff. Really guys try this. You won't be disappointed.

Certainly one of the cutest mangas I have read so far, and not only that, but it is refreshing and the drama is toned down and tamed. This manga is basically just about a quirky couple in love. 😀 but ADORABLE ADORABLE AND ADORABLEEE
Highly recommended ;P
