Finished reading the Ore Monogatari/My Love Story manga. For the stuff that was in both the anime and manga, the quality was mostly similar, or the anime was slightly better, but the manga was still great for that stuff. One example with the anime being better was the bakery plotline. The guy comes off as a bit creepy in the manga I think, but in the anime his voice acting for his internal monologue is so over the top that every scene with him is hilarious. Unfortunately the post-anime manga stuff has a worse hit to miss ratio than the earlier stuff. There are still great chapters, like the one with Yamato's school festival where Takeo becomes a police officer. That was amazing 10/10 MLS at its finest. But there was another chapter with Sunahara's sister's creepy stalker (who is the worst and I hate that he's treated like a good person), and one of the later major storylines, about a transfer student, is pretty weird. The final arc had some ups and downs, but was handled decently enough I think. One thing that keeps the series good even when the plot isn't so great is that it has its bases locked down so hard. Just scenes of Takeo hanging out with Suna or Yamato are always awesome, and Takeo's little sister is awesome whenever she's on screen (I wish she'd gotten a chapter focused on her or something). I feel like the last chapter should've been something more normal too - not far in the future or whatever, but just a chapter of their happy life at university together or whatever. Oh well. Great manga, though I wouldn't really rec it over the anime.
