The whole series is based on misunderstanding each other, it's not realistic whatsoever and it's really funny.
I've read hundreds of manga now so before I even read this one I've read some that were similar to this one.
But I think Angel is much better than the others. It doesn't forget what it is, even if it's fifteen volumes long it doesn't feel that long because you read it fast, partly because the art is bad so there's nothing to look at which would usually drag a manga down but I think Angel works better because of it.
Art to me is really important to me, I can't even read certain manga like One Piece because the art sucks.
So the art sucks in Angel too but I think it's only funnier because of it. Allow me to explain what I mean.
Most of the jokes are based on how everyone else perceive the protagonist, he looks like a delinquent but isn't.
This works really well for a few reasons.
In the manga they all take it seriously and most of the characters are delinquents also, good at fighting for example. Because of this the story itself doesn't go anywhere it doesn't have to. Other characters show up that wants to fight him but in-universe it makes sense if he's supposed to be the best fighter.
In other words the story doesn't go anywhere it doesn't have to. A lot of manga I've read take a wrong turn somewhere and it's obvious the mangaka couldn't come up with any good idea before the deadline.
Anyway. I think Angel is really enjoyable, it's not just that the timing is good and the jokes are delivered well, even the characters are likeable.
Highly recommended.
Funniest manga I've ever read
