Its Not My Fault I'm Not Popular/YMMV


 * Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The manga has rapidly gained a fanbase outside of Japan via /a/ -- mainly out of empathy. It also has a fanbase on /v/ as well, despite their irrational hatred of anything that can be somehow traced back to Japan. The cover of the first volume even acknowledges the foreign fanbase.
 * This has also become a Colbert Bump - a significant number of people have bought copies of the tankōbon (despite not knowing the language) simply to support the author, which in itself has drawn even more attention to the manga.
 * So much so that Square Enix ended up lampshading it with an April Fools announcement.
 * Tear Jerker
 * The Woobie: Tomoko, pretty much. You just have to feel sorry for a girl who just has no idea how to talk to people without making herself look like a total dork.
