If you've ever been a teenager, chances are that there's been a time in your life when you've felt at least a little socially awkward. It's that weird stage of transitioning from childhood into adulthood that can cause us to do things that make us be embarrassed for ourselves in retrospect. However, the intensity of that teenage awkwardness varies from person to person, so some may be social butterflies, while others are too introverted to bother with having a conversation. Essentially, this book is an intense example of the latter.
No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular! (what a mouthful!) stars Tomoko Kuroki, a first-year high school student who, despite constantly playing dating games in middle school, is barely able to muster the social courage to say goodbye to her homeroom teacher on the way back home. Although it's not explicitly stated, the amount of shyness and social delusion on display here gives me the strong impression that Tomoko has social anxiety disorder, but it's not impossible to relate to her. Everyone has had that time where they thought their fellow classmates were lame, and everyone's had that time where you've felt a little lamer than your friends; it's just that instances like these are, for the lack of a better term, cranked up to 11.
In fact, this is one of the few books I have read where you can get quite the intense feeling of secondhand embarrassment. There were more than a few times when I thought to myself "do I dare look at the next page, or even the next panel?" for fear that I would cringe to the point of collapsing in on myself. While that doesn't make the material sound like much fun to read, it's actually quite entertaining if you look back and think about the lame things you did as a teenager.
