The Anime Club
The Anime Club kids are notorious for being not well liked around the library or the school, but they show their foes that they are actually right and no one really likes them. That's okay cus they got each other. OR DO THEY? Sorta. It goes back and forth depending on what Mort just said. Collecting parts 1-5 of the entire saga and plenty of extra material to pop your buttons. GET A BIB.

I have to give this a 5-star review. I attended my college's anime club a few times and became a librarian in charge of an anime club, so... a lot of this struck close to home. And I nearly had an asthma attack laughing at the constant distorted facial expressions and nerdapaloozas on display. Plus KC Green signed my copy and drew ducks on the title page. Whatta guy!

Obnoxious high School students poorly drawn and using lots of profanity to be 'edgy.' Or maybe just stupid. Yes, let's go with stupid. This didn't work for me at all. The characters are obnoxious (although at least a couple are distinctive), and the entire story is them being stupid and jerks and suffering for it. Am I supposed to sympathize with them or laugh at them? Ultimately, all I do is put it down and walk away. I read it all (the non-canon stories at the end are a small step up from the main story), and ultimately it wasn't worth the minimal amount of time put in. Some of it is the formatting - the layout was screwed up in Kindle so I could only see the pages at 22% magnification, forcing eyestrain to make out the text, which didn't help matters. But even beyond that, there really isn't much redeeming here.

This literally took me all of an hour to read. If you have an hour in your life to space and enjoy comics and graphic novels, definitely use it for this (which is also available online for free if I'm not mistaken).
KC Green is hilarious and witty and pokes fun at the stereotypes and tropes I grew up with. We all knew someone like Mort and like Dave growing up. It was so fun to relate back to this. Thanks KC! You're wonderful.
Everyone should read this.

Absolutely fantastic. I just did not stop laughing. Definitely recommended, especially if you enjoy the weird humor Green indulges in.

Quality Grade A++ anime reading material for the inner otaku in you.

This book is one of my most cherished possessions. I reread it every time I come home, without fail. Someone needs to adapt this into a movie. I'm serious.

Crass, ironic, and mildly relatable

I expected this comic to be really absurd and over the top because of the caps I'd seen on the internet, but I found it an unexpectedly interesting depiction of teenage conflicts. Mort, like I'm sure quite a few introverted kids did (including myself), feels clearly above their peers, but his egomania makes things tense even among those who share his interests. And maybe they learn nothing and resume their petty disputes in the end, but for a brief moment we see that what drives it all is passion for something nobody else understands, and throughout the story they favor the preservation of the anime club over anything else, just to keep that passion validated. Also, K.C. Green drew a Trash Troll pouring soup on Kanye West in the inside cover, so I appreciate the fact that he did that.

I have not laughed aloud at something this much in such a long time. KC Green has done it again!
