If you’re looking for a serious take on people being judged by their names and people bonding over similar struggles, then look somewhere else. Of course, there is some of that here, but the manga focuses foremost on comedy and ridiculous situations. Now, that’s actually a good thing, because the comedy is pretty funny. It’s a wacky, high-energy series which is entertaining exactly because it’s ridiculous and knows it. If you start expecting common sense, you lose. If you can think “what the heck are these people doing LOL” every other page and enjoy it, then this might be up your alley. The characters are silly andamusing, and while they haven’t gotten really deep character development their antics and personalities are fun and contribute to the fun interaction in the series. I say they don’t have really developed characters because it’s not the main focus, but we still have a general sense of what makes them work and have their own (often weird) way that makes them colourful and fun, even if certain parts may seem stereotypic (and this is all done knowingly, so let’s just roll with it and laugh along with what’s given).

Pretty much everyone plays the role of the boke and our main character is the tsukkomi who still retains some sort of common sense - it works pretty well for comedy. It manages to give the expected comedy when required, but also some unexpected comedic situations that defy expectations. Overall, it’s really high-energy and fun as long as you don’t look too deeply into it. The main character as the most sane person (also easily likable personality wise, and secretly plenty weird himself) helps makes the other characters shine more in their ridiculousness, because it’s fun to watch a normal person being serious trying to make sense of the ridiculous situations he’s in, panicking on his own, losing his own common sense, and feeling stupid for it.

Definitely a series in which you’re in for the ride rather than the overall plot or anything like that.

You don’t watch grand blue for the diving - you watch it for the laughs (though sometimes you get some nice story). This manga is something like that, and though the little story stuff that comes out aren’t as amazing as other comedies, it’s mostly palatable (the story is actually not too bad albeit a bit cliche at times, but not annoying) and pretty fun overall. Not sure if the comedy here has as wide an appeal, but no harm trying it out. It really gets going after the initial chapter or two.

Adjust expectations, don’t look too much for the story, and expect some amount of ridiculous characters and situations for no reason. Then you’ll be set for an enjoyable time.
