SKET Dance

SKET Dance by Kenta Shinohara, the author of another of many readers' favorites, Astra Lost in Space, is one of the comedy manga you need to check out. The plot revolves around a group of high school students who form the Sket Dan club and take on a variety of requests and jobs submitted by their peers. Similar to Odd Jobs in Gintama, but set in a school, the similarity here makes a lot of sense given that Kenta Shinohara was once an assistant to Hideaki Sorachi, the creator of Gintama.

The characters are fantastic. Another highlight of this series is how they interact with one another and how different their personalities are yet how well they complement one another. SKET Dance is amusing and has made many readers laugh more times than they can count, but it will also make you cry. It just hits all of the right notes for you, and it's one of the best comedy mangas to come out to date. It's also a very underappreciated comedy manga, especially given how good it is.
