"Gal Gohan" looked like, on the surface, a gyaru who liked to eat and cook. After reading the entire story, front to back, I can safely say this is one of the best manga I've ever read. The best way to describe this manga is a slow burn of romance between a pure gyaru and her Home Economics teacher who is a bit awkward, yet endearing in his presentation. When I say slow burn, I mean SLOW BURN. The teacher (Yabecchi) never takes advantage of his student (Miku), and even questions if she's a real gyaru because she's not throwing herself on him like a ... typical gyaru would.

Miku needs to graduate, and in order to do so, the principal proposed her to make cookies for her teachers as an apology. Coincidentally (thank you mangaka), the cooking club is looking for members--under the leadership of Yabecchi, of course. They don't stop at sweets though, the two cook simple Japanese meals too. Miku teases Yabecchi a lot, but her flirtation fits her very well. The art is very well done, the mangaka makes Miku look like a typical gyaru and Yabecchi as the plain, seemingly boring teacher.

I highly recommend this manga to anyone who's never read gyaru stories before. It's very pure for what it is, and the art will keep you there--you may even learn how to make some food while you're there!

The Gals always have been present in this community, usually as side characters relegated to be a villain role. In the last years starts a change, now are the heroines of the romantic stories, one of the best trend of recent times. One of these new popular stories is Gal Gohan, from the author Marii Tayou.

With the synopsis is enough to get an idea about what is the story, the most unexpected will be the other side characters in search of generate that uncertainty certainty about which will be the girlfriend of the protagonist. Although just the 2 main characters are the only ones which ... we really remember, the side ones neither are just unidimensional or boring ones. Are the enough involved characterized to carry one the weight of some situation which are involved.

Expect typical scene after typical scene, hot situations with a twist even hotter or a sweet one, if you are not uncomfortable this type of situations you are going to enjoy it. Thankfully these “fanservice” moments don’t limit or lock up to the characters, they are planned of such way tan go out from the character, aren’t imposed (at least not the vast of the time). Making it avoid the common wear of these type of structures.

There isn’t a global thematic, just individual thematic set for each character, the uncertainty of the future, confrontation of the feelings or exhibit the strong inherent of the youth are some, typical of these stories. Can be say than are good executed, at least the necessary to make it believe ones, however, apart from the decision respect to the what will do the main girl, little shine the other ones narratives. Just idealizations no deepening.

If there is a serious issue is the development, during three ¾ we have titty bouncing’s and panties glimpses (and that’s fine). But in the moment of be serious, the story develops too fast, well can be qualified of a put of previous elements than were settling the ground, except that this hasn’t been totally like that, have existed insinuations and could be, not fact clear and solid. The previous entails to the trend of the main character don’t reach the strong that could be make it.

The draw is really good, the high character design reflect on the main character Miku, very cute girl with the right sizes in the right places, than the author Marri exploits with class in each cover page and suggesting draw (how many screenshots I have taken). The panel composition is simple, effective for the purposes of the work, praises for the backgrounds in several chapters. And the deep impact than can reach in the draws of full pages.

A work hot and funny that dazzle to the fans of these arquetipes. The romantic side never reach the that could have been, but results the enought atractive and entertained to keep it afloat. A delicous lunch of one of your favorite foods.

Las Gals siempre han estado presentes en esta comunidad, usualmente secundarias relegadas a ser un papel de villana. Fue en los últimos años cuando comenzó a ocurrir un cambio, ahora son las heroínas de historias románicas, una de las mejores tendencias de los últimos tiempos. Uno de estos estandartes es Gal Gohan, de la autora Marii Tayou.

Con la sinopsis basta para hacerse a la idea de sobre qué va está historia, lo más inesperado serán las otras secundarias en búsqueda de generar esa incertidumbre certidumbre sobre cuál terminará siendo la novia del protagonista. Pese a que solamente los 2 protagónicos son los únicos que auténticamente recordaremos, los secundarios tampoco son únicamente planos o aburridos, están lo suficientemente caracterizados para poder llevar el peso de alguna situación donde resulten involucrados.

Puedes esperar escena típica tras escena típica, situaciones candentes con un giro más candente o dulce, si no te incomoda este tipo de situaciones lo vas a disfrutar. Afortunadamente estos momentos “fanservice” no limitan ni encierran a los personajes, están generados de tal manera que salen de los personajes, no le son impuestos (al menos no la mayoría del tiempo). Logrando evitar el común desgaste de este tipo de estructuras.

No hay una temática global, sólo corrientes individuales adaptas a cada personaje, la incertidumbre del futuro, enfrentamiento de los sentimientos o exhibir la fuerza inherente a la juventud son unos cuántos, típicos de estas historias. Se puede decir que son correctamente ejecutados, al menos lo necesario para darlos por creíbles, sin embargo, aparte de la decisión respecto al que hará nuestra protagónica, poco relucen las demás narrativas. Son idealizaciones no profundizaciones.

Si hay alguna grave contra es el desarrollo, durante ¾ tenemos los rebotes de pechos y vistazos de bragas (y eso está bien). Pero en el momento de ir en serio la historia se desarrolla demasiado rápido, bien podría calificarse de una puesta de elementos previos que fueron asentando el terreno, excepto que esto no ha sido totalmente así, ha existido insinuaciones y “podría ser”, no hechos claros y firmes. Lo anterior conlleva a que el hilo de nuestro protagonista no alcance con la fuerza que podría haber logrado.

El dibujo es muy bueno, el alto diseño de personajes se refleja en la protagonista Miku, muy guapa muchacha con los tamaños correctos en lugares que correctos, que la dibujante Marii explota con soltura en cada portada y dibujo sugerente (cuántos pantallazos no habré tomado). La composición de paneles es simple, efectiva para los propósitos de la obra, alabanzas para los fondos en según qué capítulos. Y el impacto que puede lograr en las páginas de dibujo completo.

Es una obra divertida y candente que encandilara a los aficionados de estos arquetipos. Su apartado romántico nunca alcanza lo que podría haber logrado, más resulta lo suficientemente atractivo y entretenido como para mantenerla a flote. Un rico almuerzo de una de tus comidas preferidas.

Like bro I was reading this manga and like I heard something outside. Like I went to see what was happening and like you wouldn't believe what I saw. Like there was a guy letting out the trash and I was like how about I tell him to like add Gal Gohan there as well? Like I went to him and like after I showed the cover of the manga and like he put it in there without thinking twice. Like was a nice fellow.

Gal Gohan has made me sad. Not because it was intended to but because I cried twice at how cringy the ... whole thing really was. I've gotten to a point that stories like these get a big NOPE from the get-go. The Gal Gohan case is the same. There is a guy, there's a girl and they end up together in some way. The romance is non-existent yet they fall in love and bada boom bada bing, marriage. What you don't know though is that the love part is just an unconscious subplot. The two characters around the end be like "Hey, we've been together doing stuff for quite some time and you know, I feel like I love you" - "What are the odds, my feelings correlate too" - the manga. How does this happen you ask? That's pretty simple - it's called the art of blushes. It's something one of the two does that's related to and/or is cutesy & delightful & darling so the other will somehow blush and slowly fall in love, unconsciously. It's 100% efficient and knows no bound.

I maybe shouldn't be looking too much deep into this since it was never meant to be that way but goddammit if I didn't enjoy reading this nor has anything appreciable to begin with. It's about cooking and by cooking stuff you get a hot girl to your side. Naturally!

The characters, unfortunately, don't grow on me since they not only have an average design and they are easily recognizable in other works such as Miku that is Saki's reincarnation from Henshin. They have the exact facial structure, the exact body shape, and both the characters have darker skin, but their personality is nothing short of bad. It's the same though. You know, they just don't change and if they happen to accomplish that task it doesn't flow naturally. It goes from point A to point C without passing to point B first. In doing so it creates a different space-continuum that ashes everything into the 45th dimension that is the place where average characters reside.

The art didn't impress me. It's detailed, I'll give you that much but it's like every other drawing-style we have seen before. It doesn't rise into becoming more captivating and unique that would separate itself from the rest moreover it remains in the generic field.

Overall this manga isn't good. I didn't appreciate the story - the characters were just there doing stuff but I never cared about them. I'm not a big fan of cooking-related things so that was a big NOPE from the start but I kinda ignored that and gave it a try, as one must. In the end, it ended the way it was written - suffering in pain. Don't make the same mistake I did and skip this abomination.
