This is a charming and adorable graphic novel of Gudetama. Gudetama: Love for the Lazy is a witty and hilarious collection of stories filled with adorably unique dating advice. This is a perfect gift for any fan of Gudetama. The art is so colourful and vibrant and the dialogue is to laugh for.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley..

Gudetama is an adorable little egg, that's for sure. I loved this book... can't wait to see more!

An adorable, melancholy guide to relationships staring popular Sanrio character Gudetama, it's a quick and easy read that will be relatable to readers within any stage of a romance. With quick vignettes of relationship advice, Gudetama moves through many different common quandaries while displaying a diverse, inclusive range of relationships. Fans of Sanrio characters such as Hello Kitty or Aggretsuko will likely enjoy as well as readers of cute kawaii manga. This is appropriate for young adult readers and will also be popular among new adults.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This is a cute book and the artwork is very bright and eyecatching. The book reads like a graphic novel but the humour just wasn't to my taste really.
This is the first of this series I have tried so maybe its just my taste, but if you have read others in this series i am sure you will enjoy it.

Thanks to the publishers for sharing this one. It wasn't really my cup of tea. The Gudetama character is cute, but I think overall I just don't get it. Maybe it's a bit too out of context. My full review appears on Weekend Notes.

Fun book, where gudetama helps others find love. Highly recommended for gudetama fans, but if you don't know who gudetama is, you may be confused. The dating advice and scenarios are mostly whimsical, occasionally drifting into heartfelt. A nice, light read.

Charming, adorable, and freaking hilarious! Wook-Jin Clark has made a wonderful thing and that thing is this. Read it, laugh with it, and be ready to OBSESS over it. -Jess Smart Smiley

Happy New Year!! Coming into a new decade we need to start with a stunner of a book and what else says WOW then Gudetama??? And even better a Gudetama DATING GUIDE. Just in time for Valentines Day too.

Sick of dating apps? Want to mingle with real people in real time? Never fear, Gudetama is here.


Kind of sucky with the lads/ladies? Do you blurt out inappropriate things at the wrong time? Are you just a wee bit obsessed with murder and conspiracy theories? Uh, one can never be FYI. BUT, if you want to go after the bland and boring Gudetama is the one to call.

Heartbreak sucks. It’s the worst. It can be a physical pain as much as emotional. But hark, the angel sings and Gudetama has come to dry our tears and heal us from the inside out.

This graphic novel is a joy. It’s humorous sure but it deals with plenty of real life situations. It’s cute as hell and I love seeing Gudetama’s egg yellow booty.

Thanks very much to Netgalley and the publisher for this copy of my ARC. All opinions are my own.

Gudetama is a grumpy and very lazy egg that gives dating advice that is good even if you are lazy like Gudetama.
This is the first time I read something with this character and I found it pretty enjoyable.
Also the illustrations are beautiful and funny.

Cute, silly, all around good fun with a bit of a bite. It's all nonsense mostly but there are some hidden gems in the advice. I loved the art style and hope bright and colorful everything was. For the first moment it prepares you to not take it serious. But the "story" is still compelling.

Didn't really feel like anything special. The art style was nice but the plot was a bit weak for one book. It was also way too short. I hope that no one needs to pay money for this book if they really wanna read it as it wouldn't be worth it.

“Likes: Sleeping, Chilling, Eating”

So, I’m not gonna lie: I’d never heard of the Sanrio character Gudetama before this title popped up on NetGalley. But how could I turn down love advice from a lazy, grumpy, chubby egg (alternately hard boiled and fried, it seems) with a butt that just won’t quit?

While Gudetma is unexpectedly adorable, the rest of the artwork just isn’t my bag. There’s just something about human faces without noses that turns me off. But it is colorful and skillfully executed, so I’ll give Clark that.

The advice is more of a mixed bag; some of the comics fall flat, while others are amusing or relatable or both. I especially liked the “phases of a break up” maze – someone should make that into a Candyland-esque board game. Preferably with more swearing and cards that let you binge real live junk food.

This book is perfect for Gudetama fans!

The art is beautiful and colorful. Meanwhile, the story line is funny and easy to relate to if you have ever had mishaps in love. This story basically revolves around our funny little fried egg giving out advice on love. This advice is not always good or coherent but there are some nuggets of wisdom scattered throughout.

Don’t read this with any expectation to get love advice though, it’s mainly just a lighthearted and funny read.

Loved this and would like to check out more Gudetama comics!

This is so cute. I first got into Gudetama after watching Vox's YouTube video, How a melancholy egg yolk conquered Japan. Here in the U.S., we only really have one kind of cute: the kind that conjures up images of big-eyed, childish innocence, but Japan's different kinds of cute are more textured, with dark or even sad nuances that our kind doesn't have.

Gudetama is a cranky, cantankerous egg yolk that just wants to be lazy. Sometimes he's melancholy, sometimes sarcastic, sometimes fatalistic, sometimes nihilistic, but no matter which way you look at him, that thicc ol' yolk is pretty darn adorbs.

In this graphic novel, Gudetama helps the lovelorn who are frustrated with their dating app. In each chapter, there's a new character suffering from a real or imaginary problem, and Gudetama "helps" them with mixed success at the urging of a rather terrifying, human-sized egg yolk ballerina sidekick.

I wouldn't go into this expecting anything cerebral, but I loved the art work and there were even some good messages in here buried under all that silly laziness. If you're into cute graphic-novels with great ark, GUDETAMA: LOVE FOR THE LAZY is a good buy.

Thanks to Netgalley/the publisher for the review copy!

3.5 to 4 out of 5 stars

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
This book has cute illustrations but the comics themselves fell flat to me. It's a quick read and not a complete waste of time.

Sweet exactly what you would expect from a comic about the lazy egg, Gudetama. Lots of fun minimal effort dating advice with some definite laugh out loud moments.

I love Gudetama and the artwork throughout the graphic novel was great, but I couldn't relate to the short stories or weird dating advice at all. This unfortunately wasn't my kind of humor.

Thanks Oni Press and Netgalley for providing me a copy.

I love Gudetama. I don't remember exactly when I learned about my favorite lazy egg, but I've been a fan for at least the past two years. Gudetama: Love for the Lazy is hilarious, heartwarming, and surprisingly full of good dating advice. Gudetama and his buddy Nisetama are trying to help people find love. Through a series of short stories, Gudetama helps various hapless singles find romance. The advice that is given, for the most part, is pretty solid dating advice. This would be a great gift for any fan of Gudetama or for someone wwho is going through a rough patch in their dating career. Short, cute, and a lot of fun.

Thanks to Oni Press and NetGalley for the galley!

{I received a copy of this comic on Netgalley in return for an honest review.}

'Gudetama' is a cute graphic novel that follows the Sanrio characters, Gudetama and Nisetama, as they give light-hearted dating advice to different characters.

I really enjoyed reading this comic and I thought the artwork was absolutely adorable. Gudetama is probably one of my all time favourite Sanrio characters- so seeing a comic book for him was honestly amazing, (I wish there were more!)

And despite the fact that they took a comedic and light-hearted approach to the dating advice, I still thought that their points were really useful, valid and important.

Overall, a very well-written/drawn comic that I would definitely recommend to anyone who's looking for a short and fun read.

Rating: 4/5
