Henceforth, I will be deleting posts that complain about Weekly Shonen Jump having too many/not enough gag/battle/exorcism/sports/etc series.

These posts are not insightful, and do not meaningfully contribute to this thread. Also, this decision is not up for discussion, so posts discussing this decision will also be deleted.~ Halloween

I guess every series getting a proper english title from the start is going to be a thing now?

Makes sense I suppose, when they did Jump starts it maybe wasn't worth the trouble for series they probably wouldn't keep past ch 3, but now that they're doing everything to the end they'll want consistent branding from the beginning.

Is it just me or does the younger sibling look like a girl in this panel? The school uniform looks like one that's for girls, because of what looks like a skirt and the long socks. At least, I don't think I've never seen a Japanese school uniform with shorts before, so I'm more leaning towards it being a skirt.

It also doesn't really look like the kind of uniform that a boy would wear. Unless it was already confirmed somewhere that the younger sibling is a boy. I guess cross dressing is also a possibility, but I don't really see why the mangaka would make the younger sibling cross dress.

Those look more like really baggy or oversized shorts to me. xD

It's a short.

He's just an androgynous boy, he is wearing what an androgynous bocchan usually wears in japanese media. See Sohma Momiji and Ciel Phantomhive.

What are your thoughts on High School Family? I just read the first two chapters and it was hilarious.

Interested to know what others think of it. I can see the comedy in this being a definite hit for some and a definite miss for others.

I would describe it as "sufficiently amusing," kind of like a newspaper comic strip. I got a slight chuckle out if it, and at that length, that's good enough for me.

I liked it because alone the idea of your mom and dad being in your class as classmates is funny. Little sisters being supersmart and being in highschool together with you ain't anything new but the cat in uniform? That one was nice.
I dunno how long this might run though. How long did his previous series ran? Wasn't that the Isobe Isobee Hizakurige! one?

I need more chapters. I was slightly annoyed by the fact that the premise of "my family goes to high-school with me" gets very stressed out and has to be reinforced at almost every page. It's like all the humour is in this idea.
Anyway, two chapters in is too early to judge. Let's see what happens when the author thinks we have accepted the premise and he can start developing this universe more.

It literally made me laugh out loud like an idiot. The "terrible" art style might have something to do with it

Isobe started in May 2013 and finished back in November 2017. 303 chapters for 16 volumes.

Roughly 4 years, from 2013 #47 to 2017 #46. Not like gags designed to be at the back of the magazine have a fixed length, though.

I'm all for cringy humour, so I loved it. Laughed out loud in some panels. The art complements it very well, too.

Roughly 18k in 3 days? Not terrible but yeah certainly could've done better, and definitely not as big as Mashle.

Didn't laugh once during the first two chapters. It didn't click with me at all.
