Reviews

1. This is indeed a comedy about two ordinary high school boys.
   
   How ordinary? Just enough to slide in “me and the boys” type humour in every possible panel⁠—with impeccable execution, no less, consequently resulting in some of the funniest high school comedy I know of to date.
   
   There’s really not a lot to bang on about with Nan Hao Shang Feng. It is a treat for those looking for comedy, a twist of the normal school life escalated to surrealism, garnished with diversity in the form of ideas and cultures. Despite the seemingly simple situations in which some of ourselves may have first-hand experience, we are met with consistent glory in comedy, turning the situations here a little more than they should be.
   
   Usually, such an achievement is continuously crafted via overdramatic panels or unrealistic human motion that all amount to absolute foolishness, nothing to take seriously in the slightest; that is what makes it amazing. This high school life, which is not uncommon if you obverse those around you, being exaggerated beyond belief, this already funny part in life is made even funnier is nothing short of amazing.
   
   I could go on some more, but for the most part, this webcomic is episodic and usually focuses on making the reader laugh more than anything else. It has succeeded in its take, no doubt. So I’d recommend this to all the comedy fans out there. You are missing out for sure if you choose to say no to this one.

2. OMG… I didn’t laugh so good and loud for a long time! 😀 It’s definitely worth it to read! Very short stories about (mainly) two school friends who constantly make fun of each other. That’s all! But it’s also enough to lift your spirits 😀
   Art is typically Chinese. Perfectly portrays the emotions of the characters. About characters: already from the first stories you understand what each of these two is.
   Guys, it’s just short stories without a big inside line(at least for now as I can see, I am on 20 chapter yet) so that just take a look and after spending 5 minutes you can decide if you want to continue 🙂
   Have fun!!
