"One of the funniest, most cynical, but oddly sincere and relatable manga comedies in years... its fun cast and witty, cynical writing make the series a dark joy to read. Highly recommended." -AiPT! "Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan works because it melds absurdity with a dash of realism... Uramichi just can't stop himself from giving the kids terrible life lessons about what a misery adulthood is... just the right mix of humor and cynicism." -Anime News Network
